Tree diagram v4 with interaction

This is a tree diagram that loads the data for the tree from an external JSON file. It was written with d3.js v4 and is based on the simple horizontal version here

This is designed to be used as part of documenting an update to the book D3 Tips and Tricks to version 4 of d3.js.
