Limn: D3 v4 in Jupyter notebooks

I have recently started doing some data viz work with Jupyter Notebooks. The specific requirement has been getting data from Spark into D3, and using Jupyter is a quick way to do that as it has robust pyspark support.

A bar chart of ten bars in blue, orange and green, drawn by D3 inside a notebook

The notebook behind the chart above shows how this works, using a built-in Pandas data set. Note: the notebook was kept as a GitHub Gist, and a Gist does not show the graph output.
