 Recomputes the specified *graph*’s links’ positions, updating the following properties of each *link*:
 
 * *link*.y0 - the link’s vertical starting position (at source node)
 * *link*.y1 - the link’s vertical end position (at target node)
+* *link*.circularLinkType - the link's circularLinkType either *top* or *bottom*, depending on whether the center of the connected nodes is above or below the vertical midpoint of the figure.
 
 This method is intended to be called after computing the initial [Sankey layout](#_sankey), for example when the diagram is repositioned interactively.
