Distribute objects evenly along a curved path in d3

Question

Is it possible to use a path generated like this to place objects?

var line = d3.svg.line()
    .x(function(d) { return d.x; })
    .y(function(d) { return d.y; })
    .interpolate("basis");

The goal is to achieve an even distribution of objects along the path like this:

Answer 1

D3 doesn't provide anything to do that; you'd have to compute the positions of the circles yourself. You may find this demo helpful for determining points along a path.
