Beeswarm, force layoutEdit

A Beeswarm chart using a statically generated D3 force layout with a technique from @anmccartney. For a non-force layout Beeswarm see this example. For another way of doing a D3 force layout, see the Circle Pack Force example.

This chart is an example of using the slot prop let: width to set a dynamic circle radius based on the chart's width.
