This example visualizes a Sol LeWitt-inspired geometric composition using an array of 120 unique symbols. It renders 120 horizontal and vertical rectangular strips that use two different masks to reveal or hide portions of the symbol paths, creating an intricate crosshatch pattern. Built with D3 v7, the code leverages `d3.select`, `d3.range`, and `d3.symbol` APIs to generate and position paths. The SVG output uses mask elements with inverted black-and-white fills to control layer visibility across the full-window canvas.

Sol Lewitt Reproduction with D3 multiple symbols

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt-style drawing using D3’s `symbol` and `symbols` API to generate five geometric shapes (circle, cross, diamond, square, and star) that act as masks. Two sets of horizontal and vertical striped rectangles are drawn, each masked by a different pattern of symbols; the first mask uses black-filled symbols on white, the second inverts this. The `renderMask` function appends SVG `mask` elements, mapping each symbol to a `path` via `symbol(d, 8000)()` at evenly spaced translations. The code relies on `select`, `range`, and `join` for data-driven rendering.

Sol LeWitt Reprod D3 symbols AG

This example recreates a Sol LeWitt-inspired geometric composition using D3.js. It shows a grid of thin horizontal and vertical rectangles layered to create a woven texture, with two central plus-shaped masks cutting away portions of the pattern. The code uses `d3.select`, `d3.range`, and `d3.symbol` to generate SVG elements, applying `mask` attributes to hide or reveal the intersecting lines. Two mask layers, one inverted, define the contrasting positive and negative spaces at the center of the piece.

sol lewitt2

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt-inspired geometric composition using D3 selections and SVG masks. It draws two intersecting sets of thin horizontal and vertical rectangles, each masked by a large circular symbol defined via `d3.symbol` and `d3.symbols`. The first mask uses a light-on-dark pattern, the second an inverted dark-on-light pattern, creating layered contrast across the full window. The code relies on `d3.select`, `range`, `symbol`, and SVG `mask` elements to generate the visual, with a hardcoded `n` of 100 for the line spacing.

Full Sol LeWitt Reproduction with D3

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt-style geometric composition using D3 version 7 and SVG rendering. It draws 100 horizontal and 100 vertical rectangular strips across the full viewport, each masked by a circular pattern that alternates between black and white fills. The masks are created with d3.symbol and a square symbol, transformed to the center, and applied via the `mask` attribute. The code uses `d3.select`, `d3.range`, and `join` to generate the grid.

Sol LeWitt reproduction with d3 (symbols)

This example recreates a Sol LeWitt-inspired drawing using D3.js by layering two perpendicular sets of striped rectangles. Horizontal bars appear only within a circular region defined by an SVG mask, while vertical bars are masked to the inverse shape, creating a clean intersection of stripes inside the circle. The code uses `d3.range`, `d3.select`, SVG `rect` elements, and `symbol` with `symbols[2]` to generate the circle mask paths. The visualization is rendered entirely in the browser with D3 v7, filling the viewport dynamically.

Sol LeWitt Reproduction with D3 Exercise

This visualization reproduces a Sol LeWITT-style geometric composition using overlapping horizontal and vertical line grids. Four mask layers alternate line orientations and symbol shapes—including circles, diamonds, crosses, and triangles—to create a rhythmic interplay of foreground and background elements. The code uses D3 selections, `range`, `symbol`, and `symbols` APIs to generate SVG rectangles and paths, with masks defined via `renderMask` to invert or combine patterns across the full viewport.

Using Symbols/Symbol - D3 Version Sol LeWitt Reproduction

This D3.js reproduction of a Sol LeWitt artwork generates an intricate grid of overlapping horizontal and vertical lines. The piece creates a dynamic visual interplay where lines are selectively revealed through two inverted SVG masks, each containing a large circular symbol. The code uses `d3.select`, `d3.append`, `d3.range`, and `d3.symbol` from D3 v6.6.1 to construct the SVG output. It renders 100 rectangles in each direction, with widths and heights calculated from the window dimensions, positioning the circular mask symbols at the canvas center.

Full Sol LeWitt Reproduction with D3

This interactive SVG reproduction of a Sol LeWitt piece uses D3 to generate a grid of horizontal and vertical stripes. The code defines two masks that selectively reveal or hide the stripes based on a series of symbol-shaped paths, creating a dynamic and layered geometric composition. The program uses D3's `select`, `range`, `symbol`, and `symbols` functions to build the SVG elements and masks, with the rendering adapting to the window size. The artwork's behavior is driven entirely by the mask transformations and symbol generation.
