This interactive visualization demonstrates the Monte Carlo method for estimating the value of π. By randomly placing points within a square, the application calculates the ratio of points falling inside an inscribed circle to the total number of points, updating the π approximation in a readout panel. The React component uses D3.js for SVG rendering and state management. A button adds 100 points per click, instantly updating the counts and the elliptical estimate. The code leverages the `d3.select` API for SVG creation and `useState` for tracking point coordinates and calculations.

Fork of Value of PI

This interactive Monte Carlo simulation estimates the value of pi by randomly placing steel-blue points inside a square and counting how many fall within an inscribed sky-blue circle. Each click of the "Add 100 Points" button appends 100 new circles to an SVG canvas using D3.js selection and append methods, while React state tracks the running totals. The estimate updates in real time, calculated as four times the number of points inside the circle divided by the total points, with the current counts and approximation displayed in a grey overlay panel.

Fork of Fork of Value of PI

This interactive visualization demonstrates the Monte Carlo method for estimating the value of π. A sky-blue circle is drawn on a square canvas, and users can add 100 randomly placed steel-blue points at a time via a button. The display updates counters for points inside the circle and the total, calculating an estimate of π as 4 times the ratio of inside points to total points. Built with React and D3.js, the app uses D3’s selection API to append SVG circles and calculates distances mathematically to determine whether each point falls within the circle.

Create PI

This example visualizes a color palette as a pie chart, with each slice filled using the hex value from its corresponding data row. The chart is built with React and rendered as SVG, using D3’s `arc` to generate the pie slices and an inner radius to create a donut effect. Each slice’s angle is calculated manually by dividing the circle based on the data length. The data is fetched from a remote CSV file containing color keywords and their RGB hex values, then parsed with `d3.csvParse`. The visualization updates dynamically once the data loads.

The Walk of PI

The Walk of PI visualizes the first 2216 digits of pi in base 8 as a continuous path on an SVG canvas. It shows the digits as a walk where each digit (0-7) determines one of eight directional steps from the previous point, creating a dense, meandering line. The visualization uses D3.js (v3) to render the path and circles, with hover interactions revealing individual digits. It includes zoom and pan via D3’s zoom behavior, plus buttons to redraw the animation or reset the view. The data comes from a static string of pi’s octal digits, processed sequentially to build the path.

SVG

This example renders a static scatterplot of 100 points with randomized positions and radii. Each point’s x and y coordinates are generated using `d3.randomNormal` with a mean of 0.5 and standard deviation of 0.15, clamped between 0 and 1, then mapped to pixel positions. The radius of each circle also comes from `d3.randomNormal`, with a minimum enforced at 3 pixels. The code imports D3 version 7.9.0 and uses a simple SVG-based rendering approach within a React application, though the visualization itself does not involve any interactive or animated behavior.

CV: Pseudo Scatter Plot

This visualization shows how a set of five data points can be drawn as circles on a scatter plot using predefined x and y coordinates and a fixed radius of 30 pixels. The React component App uses a ref to access its container’s dimensions, which are passed to a viz function that sets the SVG’s width and height. The core rendering is handled by D3’s selection API via select and the join method, where each circle’s cx and cy attributes are bound to the data values. The data source is a static JavaScript array, and the chart uses no scales or axes; instead, the coordinates are used directly.

pie

This example renders a pie chart of fictional car brand values using D3 v4 and React. The chart displays ten slices in a circular SVG layout, with each slice colored via d3.scaleOrdinal and d3.schemeCategory10. Hovering over a slice triggers mouseover and mousemove events that show a tooltip with the brand name and value, while reducing the opacity of other slices. A separate legend div is built alongside the SVG, and the chart uses d3.arc and d3.pie for geometry and data binding.

point

A single yellow circle follows the mouse cursor within an SVG canvas, serving as a simple interactive point visualization. The React application tracks mouse movement via an onMouseMove handler, updating the circle's cx and cy coordinates through React's useState hook. Using a production build of React 16.9.0, the code renders a 600x300 SVG element and directly manages state updates on every cursor position change, with no additional D3 functions beyond the imported arc utility.
