BioFabric in R as an htmlwidget with d3.js

William Longabaugh's BioFabric gives us a powerful new visualization technique for large networks. He has implemented BioFabric fully in Java and partially in R and d3.js.

I hope to have an R htmlwidget with BioFabric for this week's Building Widgets widget of the week. It is very, very early, but I'd love feedback at https://github.com/timelyportfolio/RBioFabric.

This is using the karate data from igraphdata, and we order nodes by community and then degree to demonstrate a different sort order than the default by degree.
