d3 String Manipulation Subroutines.

• Takes some repetitive simple string manipulation and encapsulate the details within a subroutine.
• I prefer to use these subroutines while experimenting to help make my d3 programs more readable
• You may determine that these string subroutines are:
  • not necessary
  • may make your program use more memory than desired
    • since large strings could be passed as arguments.
  • In this case,
    • convert back to using normal string manipulation
      • instead of calling these subroutines to do it for you.
