This demo shows how to use force-directed layout to simulate edge bundling in a graph where nodes are placed circularly. It is still a work in progress. See also http://bl.ocks.org/sjengle/5432087.
The dataset is the same one from the Les Misérables demos [1] [2] provided in the D3 Gallery.
Right now, the files are broken up to make this easier to present in class (code already shown in a different demo has been moved to separate files).
