Animated Arcs

This little animation is used within the overview sneak-peek animation of the Stitch Fix Algorithms Tour. See Mike Bostock's heavily-commented Arc Tween example for an explanation of arc tweens in general. This animation is made only slightly more complex by the use of four arcs and by varying both the start and the end points.
