d 'LIBD3': D3js Mata Library
d 
d libd3 is a mata implementation of the D3.js library.  The library aims to 
d implement the D3js methods as consistently with the original library as 
d possible.  Some noticible differences are the object oriented approach 
d taken by the library which allows users to "undo" a previous method call, 
d the use of explicit constructors/initializers, and build in methods for 
d "pretty printing" the resulting javascript (e.g., indenting and new line 
d insertion in a manner that is typical for javascript).  The .ado wrapper 
d included with the package is used to compile the library locally on your 
d machine, making it easier for end users to further extend/customize the 
d underlying source and maintain it across machines.  Using this approach 
d helps to make reusable components (e.g., compose a Mata function that 
d generates all of the JS necessary to construct the graph).  You can 
d find example use cases at https://github.com/wbuchanan/d3mata-examples.  
d Users of this package will also likely want to consider installing 
d the libhtml package to compose the HTML document in which the visualization 
d would be embedded and the jsonio package to serialize their data to 
d a JSON object that will retain the metadata from their dataset.
