/**
 * This is the global function which encapsulates all variables and methods. All
 * parameters are optional.
 *
 * The shortest possible way to get up and running a graph with the shipped sample data:
 *
 *     example = netGobrechtsD3Force().render();
 *
 * You can then interact with the graph API like so:
 *
 *     example.width(800);
 * @see {@link module:API.start}
 * @see {@link module:API.render}
 * @see {@link module:API.resume}
 * @param {string} [domContainerId] - The DOM container, where the graph should be rendered
 * @param {Object} [options] - The configuration object to configure the graph
 * @param {string} [apexPluginId] - APEX plugin only: The plugin identifier for the AJAX calls
 * @param  {string} [apexPageItemsToSubmit] - APEX plugin only: Page items to submit before an AJAX call
 * @returns {Object} The public graph API function to allow method chaining

If you use the APEX plugin, then the `start` method internally does the AJAX call to your Oracle database, but you can prevent this behavior by passing data to this method.

     * This also means, that you can use data from a textarea or a report for the APEX plugin, to overwrite the existing data and you do not need to configure any query to run this plugin. If you do so and you do not pass data to the `start` method on the very first call, then the plugin provides sample data - it is the same data with the [APEX online demo](https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=18290:1) of this plugin, there is no query configured and you get therefore the sampledata :-)
