This interactive visualization generates a geometric pattern inspired by Sol LeWitt’s wall drawings, filling the browser window with a single black rectangular vertical band against a blank canvas. The code builds the SVG graph using native DOM methods (createElementNS) rather than D3’s selection helpers, while D3 v7 is loaded but not actively used in the visible logic. The pattern is created by applying a black SVG mask to the rectangular stripe, with dimensions tied to the viewport’s width and height. The rendering is minimal and static, offering a direct homage to LeWitt’s systematic, rule-based aesthetic.

Data Visualisation with D3 - Sol LeWitt

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt wall drawing as a generative visualization. Using plain JavaScript and the SVG DOM API, it creates 100 vertical rectangular stripes that span the full height of the browser window, each with a fixed width of 10 pixels and spaced 20 pixels apart. The code dynamically appends SVG `<rect>` elements to a full-screen SVG canvas, with dimensions set to the viewport’s inner width and height. The result is a minimalist, repeating pattern that mirrors LeWitt’s instructional art, rendered entirely through `document.createElementNS` and `setAttribute` calls without external libraries.

Sol LeWitt-Inspired Shapes

A generative art piece inspired by Sol LeWitt’s geometric wall drawings, this visualization fills the browser window with an SVG grid of randomly colored rectangles and vertical slats. The code uses D3 v7’s symbol generators and masks to alternately reveal or hide each shape within alternating columns, producing a woven, layered composition. The rendering logic relies on SVG `<mask>` elements, `d3.range`, and `d3.selectAll().join()` to construct both horizontal and vertical bands, with the mask patterns cycling through D3’s built-in symbol types. The result is a dynamic, self-contained pattern generated from deterministic geometry and random color values.

Sol LeWitt Reproduction with D3

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt wall drawing using D3.js, building an SVG scene with horizontal and vertical rectilinear bands. The code creates 100 horizontal stripes, each 10 pixels tall, and applies an SVG circular mask to reveal a circular cutout. A second complementary mask isolates a circular region for vertical stripes, creating an intersecting pattern. Rendered entirely through SVG elements, the piece uses D3’s `select` and chained `append`/`attr` methods for DOM construction, with data driven by a simple loop. The visualization fills the browser window, reflecting the code’s dependence on `window.innerWidth` and `window.innerHeight`.

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

This generative visualization creates a geometric pattern inspired by Sol LeWitt’s wall drawings, using only SVG and JavaScript without external libraries. It overlays two sets of 100 rectangular stripes—vertical and horizontal—onto a full-screen canvas. A circular mask isolates a centered ring where horizontal stripes are inverted, while a second mask carves a solid white circle ring from the vertical stripes. The result is a repeating grid whose central region shifts contrast, producing an optical interplay of lines and negative space.

Sol LeWitt Reproduction with D3 Tests

This D3.js reproduction of a Sol LeWitt artwork generates an SVG pattern of horizontal and vertical stripes across the full browser window. It uses D3’s `select`, `append`, and `range` APIs to create 100 rect elements per orientation, with each stripe masked by a circle that either reveals or hides the stripes. Two masks are rendered with inverted black-and-white fills, creating a circular intersection of differently oriented line fields. The piece visualizes geometric abstraction through code, relying on SVG masks and D3’s data-driven element joins.

Full Sol LeWitt Reproduction with D3

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt wall drawing using D3.js, rendering 100 horizontal and 100 vertical stripes across the full browser window. It uses SVG masks to create alternating circular cutouts: the first mask (mask-1) reveals the grid in white with a black circle, while the second (mask-2) inverts the effect. The code employs D3’s `select`, `range`, `symbol`, and `symbols` APIs to generate the geometric composition. The final output is a generative pattern where the intersection of stripes and circular voids produces the artwork’s characteristic visual rhythm.

SOL Lewitt Reproduction with D3

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt wall drawing using D3.js version 7.8.5, generating horizontal and vertical striped rectangles that form a grid pattern. A circular mask, created with SVG `mask` elements and inverted using a second mask, crops the intersecting lines to create a distinctive circular window in the center of the canvas. The code constructs the SVG and masks programmatically via the DOM API, appending 100 alternating horizontal and vertical rects. The visualization fills the entire browser viewport, using `window.innerWidth` and `window.innerHeight` to set the canvas dimensions.
