Geometry and Its Applications by Alfred Inselberg.

Problem: Create a simple example of brushing an ordinal axis in
parallel coordinates, while preserving brushes on quantitative axes.
Work from one of the following examples:
http://bl.ocks.org/1341021
http://bl.ocks.org/3709000
http://bl.ocks.org/4020926

Who is eligible: Anyone on the d3-js mailing list, excluding: Mike
Bostock, Jason Davies, Ian Johnson, Chris Viau, Bob Monteverde.
How to win: Post the first example
bl.ocks.org demonstrating brushing
on an ordinal axis with a multidimensional dataset. It should work
with multiple ordinal axes. I encourage you to think about the design
of the solution to be flexible for many use cases, but it just needs
to work to win the prize. Document what you needed to change in the
README.md file, so that your bl.ocks page can serve as a resource to
those customizing parallel coordinates for their own needs.
The solution will be integrated into the parallel coordinates reusable
chart, and you'll be credited as a contributor.
