Basic animation on barplot in d3.js

Steps:

The Html part of the code just creates a div that will be modified by d3 later on.

The first part of the javascript code set a svg area. It specify the chart size and its margin. Read more.

To create the animation, bars are first drawn with a height of 0. Then they reach their real value using the transition() function.
