Stacked Bar Chart

This stacked bar chart is constructed from a CSV file storing the populations of different states by age group. The chart employs conventional margins and a number of D3 features:

d3.csv - load and parse data
d3.scale.ordinal - x-position encoding and color encoding
d3.scale.linear - y-position encoding
d3.format - SI prefix formatting (e.g., “10M” for 10,000,000)
d3.max - compute domains
d3.keys - compute column names
d3.svg.axis - display axes

This example doesn’t use d3.layout.stack because it’s easy to just stack each state independently via array.forEach. Here, it makes sense to group the rects by state (column), rather than grouping by age group (series), as you do with a stacked area chart.
