Interactive chord diagram in d3.js

This is a very basic chord diagram made using d3.js. The data comes from here. It uses the histogram function d3. And here are a few more things about it. It uses the histogram function d3. And here are a few more things about it. here is the code building the figure. Remember it is interactive.
