Pie Chart Update, II
license: gpl-3.0

This variation of a donut chart demonstrates how to update values with an animated transition. Clicking on the radio buttons changes the displayed metric.

how would you handle transition between these two datasets...

data1 = [53245, 28479, 19697, 24037, 40245]
data2 = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

Transitioning between data1 to data2 works but transitioning back to data1 generates parsing errors.

@evaughen Visualizing an all-zero dataset with a pie or donut chart won’t work very well.

I hope some day soon the code for D3 will seem less like magic and more like logic. I'll just to deal with the all zero dataset before it reaches the interpolate stage. Thanks for all your hard work...

function arcTween(a) {
  var i = d3.interpolate(this._current, a);
  /*
   *  I think, that it makes sense to change to this._current = i(1) to store latest transition, it works now, because of
   *  references. Change this._current = jQuery(this, {}, i(0)); will break animation.
   */
  this._current = i(0);
  return function(t) {
    return arc(i(t));
  };
}

Here's a jsbin version: http://jsbin.com/hegob/1/edit?js,output

Shouldn't line 85 read this._current = i(1); to set the value for the next update? I don't see how "_current is updated in-place by d3.interpolate".
