Hi, I am new in d3. I wonder how to animate multiple path and is there any limitation when read geojson data, like how large the file can be?

Did you find a solution to your problem @mz14611?
How about using MultiLineString?

I'm having some issues with the initial set up. Are there specific packages you are running.
