Brushable Horizontal Bar Chart - III

EDIT: I've now created a much more intuitive version of this chart. View version IV for a non-updating x axis and version V for a updating x axis. So you can basically ignore this one :)

For a bit more background, you can read my mini-blog about it Brushable & interactive bar chart in d3.js

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This brushable horizontal bar chart is another version of the Brushable Horizontal Bar Chart - II where the x-axis now also updates on a brush change to always have the largest bar fill the entire width.

forked from nbremer's block: Brushable Horizontal Bar Chart - III
