This example demonstrates a hive plot using the d3.hive.link API extension, which positions nodes on multiple radial axes and connects them with curved bezier paths. The visualization shows a synthetic network of 12 links between three axes, with each link colored by its group membership. The code manually defines the link data and uses d3.scale.ordinal for axis angles, d3.scale.linear for radial distances, and d3.scale.category20c for colors. The SVG diagram is drawn with the D3 v3 library, and axes are rendered as concentric lines with fill and stroke styles.
