The "-end" marker is being included in the path sequence output. about sunburstr

Here is one way of hiding end #21 (comment) if you would like. Let me know if you would like me to make a helper function or just making the default behavior.

-end is intentionally shown to differentiate true end from arbitrarily chopped end points. I'm sure there is a way to hide -end around these lines, but for me to do will be probably end of the week. Any volunteers?

Can you explain then why my data doesn't work without -end in the path sequence?
The initial data I had worked without the need of the -end mark, so I find it strange that simplifying the initial data and excluding redundant steps causes the chart not to rendered.

I don't have much JS experience so I'm not sure how to modify the code. Though I'm open to work on it if you could guide me what needs to be done.

Unfortunately, I honestly don't remember. Guiding will take as long or longer than answering. Just don't have the time over the next couple days.

@jrangeles, the reason you need a -end is explained in the original Gist.

every sequence should have an "end" marker as the last element,
unless it has been truncated because it is longer than the
maximum sequence length (6, in the example).
The purpose of the "end" marker is to distinguish
a true end point (e.g. the user left the site)
from an end point that has been forced by truncation.

This indicates that the network needs to have depth < 6 or will require a -end marker.

@jrangeles feel free to reopen if you don't think this is resolved. Closing in prep for CRAN submission.

Kent - I think a great default behaviour would be ie DisplayEnd = TRUE as a parameter to the function sunburst(). This allows control, but avoids confusion pertaining to the requirement that the data itself contain "end" at the end of each sequence string. In other words, I'm of the mind that if it is in the data, it should show up the same way by default in the visualization. The option to "clean it up" would be very welcome indeed

I also think it would be helpful in the ?sunburst to elucidate the required form of the input data. something like "sunburst takes as input a two column data frame of the form: 1.) sequence patterns separated by "-" and terminating with "end" and 2.) the relative frequency with which this pattern occurs. "

Thanks for another great tool. This is really helping us explore data in a way we certainly otherwise would not have been able to!
