afterLoad:

[str, function] defaults to 'drawingComplete'. If afterLoad receives a string, that string is passed to alchemy as a top level key that returns true when the graph has loaded. This is helpful to be used as a flag to watch for in the context of a larger application. If afterLoad receives a function, that function is simply run after the graph is drawn. This is another way to signal that the graph has been drawn.

dataSource:

[string, object], null Does not receive a default value and is the single parameter that must be defined by the user in order to use Alchemy.js. dataSource receives either a string specifying the location of a GraphJSON object, or a GraphJSON formatted object directly. If the user specifies a string, Alchemy.js will use d3's d3.json method with the string as the data source and the graph viz app as the callback. If an object is specified, the graph viz will use the object directly as a data source.
