This interactive example showcases D3’s axis component, which simplifies adding reference lines and labels to custom visualizations. It plots S&P 500 monthly price data from 2000 to 2010 as a line with an area fill, using `d3.svg.axis` for both x- and y-axes. Clicking the chart triggers a random zoom on the x-axis, causing the ticks to smoothly transition via `svg.transition().duration(750)`. The visualization is rendered as SVG, with axes styled for crisp edges and clipped paths for the data series.

AI-generated description

This example demonstrates D3’s new axis component, which makes it easy to add reference lines and labels to a custom visualization. The axis component even supports automatic transitions! Click on the area to change the scale and watch as new ticks smoothly replace the old ones. Built with D3.

Axis

This example demonstrates how axes and gridlines respond to changing data domains in a D3.js visualization. It shows a simple SVG chart with an x-axis and y-axis spanning a 500×500 pixel area, with dashed gridlines extending from each tick mark. The visualization randomly rescales both axes by generating a new maximum value between 0 and 100, smoothly animating the axis transitions using `d3.transition()` and updating gridlines dynamically. Built with React, the code uses `d3.axisBottom`, `d3.axisLeft`, and `d3.scaleLinear` to render and update the axes, while the gridlines are appended as `line` elements within each tick group.

An interactive area chart displays monthly S&P 500 price data. The visualization uses a focus-and-context technique, combining a large main chart with a smaller overview panel. Users can brush a region in the context panel to zoom the focus area, or directly pan and zoom the focus chart itself. The example uses d3.brush and d3.zoom, with d3.area for the line, and d3.axisBottom and d3.axisLeft for the axes, rendering as SVG.

Axis Styling

This example demonstrates how to customize the appearance of axes created with the d3-axis API in D3 v4, rendering SVG output. The chart shows a time-based scale on the x-axis spanning 2010–2012 and a linear scale on the y-axis ranging from 0 to 2 million. Customization is achieved through post-selection, where the code modifies generated axis elements by removing the domain path, styling tick lines with dashed strokes and gray color, and adjusting tick text positioning. A custom tick format prefixes the first value with a dollar sign and appends “million” while others use narrow non-breaking spaces. The code uses `d3.axisBottom`, `d3.axisRight`, `d3.scaleTime`, and `d3.scaleLinear`.

Zoom to Domain

A line chart of S&P 500 monthly prices from 2000 to 2010 plays an introductory zoom animation, smoothly transitioning from the full dataset to a one-year window centered on 2003. The area chart uses an SVG path with a clip-path. Built with D3 v4, it applies `d3.zoom` and `d3.zoomIdentity` to programmatically rescale the time axis via `rescaleX`, updating the area and x-axis in the `zoom` event handler.

Axis Styling II

This example demonstrates a time-series axis with a customized right-side y-axis using post-selection, where axis labels and grid lines are restyled after rendering. The code uses d3.axisBottom and d3.axisRight to create the axes, with the y-axis’s tick lines converted to dashed gray gridlines and labels repositioned. A transition triggered by d3.timeout animates the y-axis domain change over 2.5 seconds, using post-selection to modify entering, updating, and exiting tick elements. The implementation relies on d3.scaleTime, d3.scaleLinear, and transition.attrTween to cancel default tweens, rendering as SVG with animation.

Date Ticks

This example demonstrates how D3’s time scale and axis API can animate date tick marks as the domain’s upper bound randomly shifts. A bottom-oriented SVG axis is created with `d3.time.scale` and `d3.svg.axis`, formatting tick labels as month/day strings. Every few seconds, `setInterval` triggers a transition that updates the axis domain to a new random date, smoothly redrawing the ticks and grid lines via `.transition().duration()`. The chart uses no external data, only a generated sequence of dates between January 2 and a random day in late January, with the axis centered vertically on a 960×500 SVG canvas.

Axis (with nice)

This example displays a horizontal axis with five numerical tick marks, positioned below a short line of data points. The axis is generated using D3.js version 4.2.2, specifically the `d3.axisBottom` function, which is applied to a linear scale created with `d3.scaleLinear`. The scale’s domain is derived from the minimum and maximum of the sample data array using `d3.extent`, and its range is set to 600 pixels. The axis is rendered as an SVG group element, transformed to sit at a specified vertical position within the 700×100 pixel canvas. The page itself is a minimal HTML document with embedded JavaScript and uses the D3 library loaded from a CDN.

Axis Grid

This example showcases a static, abstract axis grid rendered as an SVG. The central visual features a series of grid lines with deliberate, small gaps at their intersections, creating a dotted or segmented pattern that echoes the look of analog signal interference. The code constructs the grid using D3.js scaling and axes, specifically `d3.scaleLinear`, `d3.axisBottom`, and `d3.axisLeft`, with tick sizes set to span the full chart width and height. It further annotates the grid with small clusters of black dashes and two alternating rows of dots, all generated procedurally within the script.
