D3 Examples - Merging TopoJSON states d3.v4 topojson 2.2

Merging TopoJSON states d3.v4 topojson 2.2

This demonstrates using topojson.merge, a new feature in TopoJSON 2.2, to merge multiple polygons into a single polygon whilst removing interior borders. (An alternative approach is to draw the polygons twice.)

Unlike mbostock's original example, this uses a pre-projected topojson file and a null projection.
