Issue
Currently, refreshing nvd3 visualizations is not very pleasant to look at especially when set to refresh every 10 seconds:
The problem is that upon render, the entire slice container is emptied which means the whole chart must render from scratch instead of just adjusting to new data.
Solution
If we leave the chart intact upon refesh, nvd3 will automatically update the entire chart smoothly.
Notice the bars and x-axis shift in this example.
