Margin Convention with Model.js

This example shows one way to encapsulate the D3 Margin Convention using Model.js.

Check out the resize behavior in full screen mode.

More generally, this example is an experiment in how to generalize self-contained pieces of dynamic graphical behavior. Note that the following three pieces of this visualization are each implemented in separate functions:

The margin convention, which
- resizes the SVG element by setting width and height
- translates the G element by the margin top and left
- assigns values to the model properties width and height, which represent the dimensions of the rectangle inside the margin.
The background X.
The clip rectangle, which will clip the corners of the background X to be within the rectangle inside the margin.

Draws from:

blockbuilder.org starter code
Responding to Resize This is where the X in the background comes from.
Focus + Context Scatter Plots This is where the clip path logic comes from.
