I swear many people would be better off just manually generating paths on their own. It&#x27;s not difficult.<p>D3 is pretty awesome and all but it is NOT a charting library. It&#x27;s a data binding framework. It adds several layers of incredibly hard to follow abstraction.<p>It&#x27;s super duper cool when it does exactly what you want and all you desire is to drop your in your data. A+++ would recommend. But if you want to do something slightly different it&#x27;s a huge pain in the ass. At the end of the day it&#x27;s just a handful of SVG primitives. Draw them yourself and move on with your day. I promise you it&#x27;s easier.
