2$\begingroup$ Does it? I'm having trouble seeing what it is showing, and I posted another question in hopes of more detailed explanation than could be provided here. stats.stackexchange.com/questions/141027/… $\endgroup$ – xan Mar 9 '15 at 18:49

$\begingroup$ @xan +1 for questioning the actual informative value of the graph. $\endgroup$ – Manuel Jan 23 '17 at 21:09

I didn't know before I saw your question but I remember that I saw such a graph in the d3.js gallery. This is called a chord diagram.

I saw this graph in some biological papers. It is called circos. Originally, it was proposed in this article:
Krzywinski, M. et al. Circos: an Information Aesthetic for Comparative Genomics. Genome Res (2009) 19:1639-1645.

$\begingroup$ From your link, it seems that Circos is the name of a package which can generate similar plots, not the name of the plot itself. $\endgroup$ – Matt Krause Mar 8 '15 at 18:13
