transition exploration -- first trials with transitions

D3 Transitions

Six colored circles float over a pale blue background as D3 transitions animate them into view. Each circle scales from radius zero to its full size with staggered delays, then repositions itself at new coordinates using a faster linear ease. The example uses `selection.join()` to manage enter and update states, applying `transition()` with explicit durations and `easeLinear` to control the motion. Data is defined inline in JavaScript, rendered as SVG circles with distinct fills and 0.667 opacity.

Simple transition chaining in v6

A circle demonstrates sequential transition chaining in d3.js v6, moving from left to right, then expanding its radius, and finally changing fill color from blue to red. Using the d3-transition API, the code applies three consecutive `.transition()` calls, each with a 4000-millisecond duration, to an SVG circle appended to the body. The example shows how transitions queue and execute in order, rendering the animation directly in SVG.

Simple transition chaining in v7

This example uses chained `transition()` calls in d3.v7 to animate a single SVG circle through three sequential stages. The circle first slides horizontally from left to right, then expands its radius, and finally changes its fill color from blue to red, with each transition lasting 4000 milliseconds. The animation is built entirely with D3’s selection and transition API, applying attributes like `cx`, `r`, and `style` through `.attr()` and `.style()` methods. The code appends the circle directly to the body via an SVG element, with no external data source.

Transition Options

Two circles sit side by side in separate SVGs, demonstrating how D3 transitions can move elements either sequentially or simultaneously. The example shows the difference between chaining transitions on separate selections versus applying a single transition to all circles at once, with buttons to trigger position changes and color cycling. Built with D3 v4, it uses `d3.select`, `transition()`, `delay()`, `on("start", repeat)`, and `d3.active()` to orchestrate animation loops. The rendering is SVG-based, and the code uses Bootstrap for button styling. No external data is loaded; the visualization relies purely on programmatic animation of hardcoded circle positions and fills.

D3 Transitions

Six colored circles of varying sizes move across a light green canvas, growing from and shrinking to a radius of zero at different speeds. The visualization demonstrates the D3 transition API, using a slow two-second transition to animate the circles' entry and exit by scaling their radius, while a fast 500-millisecond linear ease animates position updates. The sketch initializes six data points with id, x, y, r, and fill attributes, then uses D3's `select`, `transition`, and `easeLinear` functions to orchestrate the dynamic reshaping of the circle group.

Chained Transitions

Fifty black circles, each representing one step in a 50-point scale, are arranged along the left edge of an SVG. Chained transitions, created using `transition.transition` and `d3.active`, repeatedly sweep each circle horizontally across the frame and back, with staggered delays creating a cascading wave effect. The circles’ fill colors interpolate between light yellow and dark blue via a linear scale with `d3.interpolateHcl`. The animation runs concurrently on all elements, inheriting the original transition’s reference time to ensure synchronized looping.

D3 Workshop: Part 2 - SVGs and d3 Transitions

This example demonstrates interactive D3 transitions on SVG shapes, starting with static blue, red, and yellow elements before a button triggers animated rectangles that move to random coordinates and change colors based on an array of six color objects. It uses d3 v4, including `selectAll`, `data`, `enter`, `merge`, and chained `transition()` calls with `.duration()`. The code binds data to newly appended rectangles, animating their x/y positions and fill colors, illustrating data joins and update patterns.

Fork of D3 Transitions

The example demonstrates D3 transition chaining and lifecycle management through animated circular shapes entering, updating, and exiting the scene. Six colored circles with varying radii enter sequentially over two seconds, then reposition during fast linear transitions when updated. The visualization uses D3’s `select`, `transition`, and `easeLinear` APIs within a join pattern, defining custom enter, update, and exit behaviors. Each circle transitions its radius from zero to its final value with staggered delays, while exits shrink back to zero before removal. The view renders in SVG with a light green background, showcasing how D3’s data-driven transitions handle dynamic state changes smoothly.
