This example generates an abstract, generative art composition in the browser, extending the style of Sol LeWitt. It displays a grid of horizontal and vertical lines that are partially hidden by two masks, creating a dynamic interplay of shapes. The visualization uses the D3.js library to build the SVG and apply its `symbol` API to draw various symbols within the masks, with the SVG `mask` element controlling visibility. The final image is a large, screen-filling pattern of lines and geometric icon shapes that appear to emerge from the underlying grid.

Sol Lewitt with D3 Project (from Scratch)

This example recreates Sol LeWitt’s geometric wall drawings using D3.js, rendering a dense grid of thin vertical and horizontal lines across the full browser window. Two opposing masks, each containing five distinct symbols from D3’s `symbol` API, selectively hide or expose portions of the line grid, creating overlapping, patterned regions. The visualization uses `d3.select`, `range`, and `join` to generate 120 rectangles in each orientation, with SVG masks applied via `mask.append` and `attr('mask', ...)`. The result is a digital homage that blends generative code with minimalist art.

Sol LeWitt Full Working with D3 Full

This example generates an abstract geometric composition inspired by Sol LeWitt, combining a grid of horizontal and vertical rectangles with dynamic masking. Two SVG masks, created via D3’s `svg.call()` and the `renderMask` function, selectively reveal or hide the grid lines using distinct symbols from `d3.symbol()` and `d3.symbols`. Each mask positions these symbols across the canvas, with inverted fill patterns controlling which areas of the underlying grid become visible. The result is a layered interplay of lines and shapes that shifts based on symbol placement and mask inversion.

Full Sol LeWitt Reproduction with D3

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt wall drawing as a generative SVG artwork. It renders a grid of alternating horizontal and vertical black lines, which are partially revealed through two SVG masks that use large geometric symbols to create the negative space. The code uses D3’s `select`, `range`, `join`, and `symbol` APIs to build the composition, with the `symbol` function generating the mask paths. The result is a dynamic, layered interplay of lines and shapes that fills the browser window.

Sol LeWitt Reproduction with D3

This piece recreates a Sol LeWitt wall drawing using D3.js to generate layered, mask-based geometric forms. It displays a grid of horizontal and vertical lines that intersect within a central circular region, creating a dynamic visual pattern. The code uses the D3 selection API and raw SVG elements, employing two circular masks to selectively reveal the line structures. The rendering is dynamically sized to fit the browser window, producing an interactive, generative art experience.

Full Sol LeWitt reproductions with d3

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt piece using D3.js by generating a grid of horizontal and vertical lines. Two SVG masks, defined as "inner-mask" and "outer-mask", are applied to these lines to reveal or hide portions of the grid, creating a complex geometric pattern. The masks are constructed using D3's `symbol` and `symbols` APIs to draw paths that form the mask shapes. The code uses D3's `select`, `append`, `attr`, and `join` methods to build the SVG structure and apply data-driven attributes. The rendering is done entirely in SVG, scaling to the browser window size.

Full Sol LeWitt Reproduction with D3

This visualization reproduces a Sol LeWitt wall drawing using D3.js, rendering a grid of horizontal and vertical lines that intersect to form a subtle pattern across the full browser viewport. The piece relies on two SVG masks—one circular and one rectangular—to selectively reveal or hide portions of the line arrays. Specifically, a path generated via `symbol(symbols[1],100000)` creates a large circular mask over the vertical lines, while a black circle mask obscures the horizontal lines in a contrasting region. The code uses D3’s `select`, `range`, and `join` APIs to efficiently append hundreds of SVG rect elements, with all rendering performed client-side in SVG format.

Sol LeWitt With D3

This example recreates a Sol LeWitt wall drawing using D3.js to render layered geometric abstractions in SVG. The visualization combines horizontal and vertical striped rectangles with concentric arc paths, all filtered through SVG masks that selectively reveal or hide portions of each shape across the viewport. The code uses D3 selections with `range()` to generate repeated elements, `.join()` for data binding, and `mask` attributes to composite intersecting forms. The result is a dynamic, generative composition that responds to the browser window dimensions while echoing LeWitt’s systematic, rule-based artistic style.

Full Sol LeWitt Reproduction with D3

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt art piece using D3.js. It shows a grid of horizontal and vertical lines rendered as SVG rectangles, with the pattern dynamically clipped by two circular masks to create a complex, layered composition. The code uses D3’s `select`, `range`, `symbols`, and `symbol` APIs to generate the shapes and paths. SVG masks are defined and applied to the line groups, with one mask inverted to produce the final visual effect. The rendering adapts to the browser window’s dimensions.
