Hi,

I saw this and it looks pretty cool.  We definitely want to improve
our d3 support.  In the next few months we are going to be improving
our architecture for javascript widgets to make these things possible.
 I would imagine that we will have some d3 examples that emerge out of
that work.  In the meantime, here is a branch with some early work in
this area:

https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/2518

Please have a look at this and give us feedback.

Cheers,

Brian
