Forked from Let's make a face with D3.js

A line chart animates between two datasets, updating its path shape over time. The example uses d3.line to generate the path from an array of numbers, mapping each value to x and y coordinates based on its index and magnitude. D3’s selection and transition methods handle the smooth morphing of the path’s `d` attribute when new data arrives. The SVG rendering is driven by a simple render function called twice with different data arrays, demonstrating a basic update pattern with d3.v5.

Path Transitions

A real-time scrolling line chart demonstrates a surprising visual artifact when animating the path. The chart displays a sliding window of 40 random data points, with new values entering from the right and old ones exiting left. The example uses D3's `transition` API and SVG path interpolation to animate the line. It reveals that default path interpolation parses the `d` attribute's numbers and pairs them in order, causing vertical "wiggling" as control points move in place. The solution involves interpolating the chart's transform instead of the path data.

path with d3 - 1

A simple SVG line chart demonstrates D3's `d3.line()` path generator. Five coordinate pairs define a polyline rendered as a thick black path across a 960 by 500 canvas. A green circle with a CSS hover animation (class `pulseCircle`) sits at the first data point, scaling from zero to four times its size over two seconds using keyframes. The example shows D3 v7 appending SVG elements and generating path data from an array of points, with the circle's interactive pulse effect driven by vanilla CSS rather than D3 transitions.

Data Folowing a Path

A collection of pink circles animates along a fixed black path, each circle traveling from the path’s start to its end in sequence. The visualization shows how data points can follow a predefined geometric route, with each circle representing a discrete step. The code uses D3 v5’s `scaleLinear` to map indices to path lengths, and `transition.attrTween` with `getPointAtLength` to move each circle along the SVG path. The animation uses `d3.easeCircleInOut` for smooth acceleration and deceleration, with the path defined by a complex Bézier string.

D3 Path Examples

This example demonstrates how D3.js can draw and animate SVG paths from simple coordinate datasets, including diagonal and horizontal lines, multipoint curves, triangles, and rectangles. The code defines multiple data arrays and uses the `d3.svg.line()` API with various interpolation types to render static shapes, while separate functions animate paths by transitioning the `d` attribute using `transition().duration(6000)`. One animation elongates a horizontal line by mutating the dataset’s endpoint, and another shifts the line’s origin point, both relying on D3’s built-in transition system. The page sets its frame height to 1800 pixels to accommodate the multiple SVG canvases.

animated line

An animated line chart displays the changing popularity of a fictional topic over time, with an update button that regenerates the data to show the line redrawing itself with a smooth sinusoid easing. Built with D3.js (v7.8.5), the chart uses `scaleLinear` for axes, `line` for the path generator, and the `transition` API with `easeSin` to animate the stroke-dashoffset over 2.5 seconds. The SVG rendering includes axes and a steelblue path, with fake data defined in JavaScript rather than from an external source.

Real time chart

This example demonstrates a real-time line chart that continuously updates with new data points. The visualization shows a scrolling line graph where new random values are appended and old ones shift out of view every half second. The chart uses D3 v5 to generate data with `d3.randomNormal`, and displays an animated SVG path created with `d3.line`. The updating mechanism relies on D3 transitions with `easeLinear`, using `transition.attrTween` (via the `tick` function) to slide the line horizontally while clipped by a clipPath.

D3 Selection Exploration

This example demonstrates the update and join pattern of D3 selections, animating a set of 15 circles and a connecting line path over time. The circles and path are re-rendered every frame using a `setInterval` loop, with their vertical positions and radii driven by a sine function of an incrementing time variable. The code uses `d3.select`, `selection.selectAll`, `selection.join`, and `d3.line` to bind new data arrays generated by `makeData` to SVG elements, showing how D3’s data-join syntax handles dynamic updates efficiently. The visualization runs in a full-window SVG canvas.

d3 v4 realtime line chart

A real-time line chart appends a new random data point every ten milliseconds, streaming it across a 500-pixel SVG canvas. The visualization displays both a raw path and a smoothed cardinal-curve version, with the x-axis domain shifting as new values arrive. The code uses d3.scaleLinear, d3.line, d3.axisBottom, and d3.curveCardinal from d3.v4, with d3.transition and d3.easeLinear animating the axis and path translations to create the continuous scrolling effect.
