This example is being used in my blog on Adding a subtle touch of glow to your d3.js visualizations
Simple examples of adding an SVG filter to create a glow around shapes. Click anywhere around the shapes to turn the filter on and off. Note that the filter doesn't work on line elements
Another data visualization where I use the glow filter is my redesigned radar chart
