Basic stacked barplot in d3.js

Steps:

Start by understanding the basics of barplot in d3.js.

Data is available here. Have a look to it. Note the wide (untidy) format: each group is provided in a specific line, each subgroup in a specific column.

The d3.stack() function is used to stack the data: it computes the new position of each subgroup on the Y axis

The output of d3.stack() can be used to create a set of rect as for a normal barplot.
