This example demonstrates two methods of creating legends in a D3.js visualization: a categorical color legend showing fruit types with distinct colors, and a quantitative size legend representing numeric values with scaled circles. The SVG-based visualization uses D3 v5's scaling functions, specifically `scaleOrdinal` for the color mapping and `scaleSqrt` for the size mapping, with custom legend constructors `colorLegend` and `sizeLegend` building the tick marks, circles, and labels.

Color and Size Legends

This example demonstrates two types of legends for a D3.js SVG visualization. The first legend uses a categorical color scale (`scaleOrdinal`) to map fruit names to specific colors, with circles and text labels generated by a custom `colorLegend` function. The second legend uses a square-root size scale (`scaleSqrt`) to map numeric values from 0 to 10 to varying circle radii, with ticks and labels created by a `sizeLegend` function. Both legends are built by appending groups and elements to the SVG, using D3's selection and merge methods to handle updates.

Color and Size Legends

This example demonstrates two methods for building interactive legends in D3.js v5: a categorical color legend and a quantitative size legend. The color legend uses `scaleOrdinal` to map fruit names to distinct colors, while the size legend uses `scaleSqrt` to map a numeric range to circle radii. Both legends are rendered as SVG groups with circles and text labels, positioned via `translate` transforms. The reusable legend functions (`colorLegend` and `sizeLegend`) accept configuration objects specifying spacing, circle radius, and tick counts, allowing flexible customization within a single SVG canvas.

Color and Size Legends

This example demonstrates two common legend types for D3 visualizations: an ordinal color legend for categories and a square-root size legend for quantitative values. The color legend maps fruit names to distinct colors, while the size legend encodes numeric values using proportional circle radii. Both legends are rendered as SVG groups using reusable functions that leverage D3's `scaleOrdinal`, `scaleSqrt`, and `selection.join` pattern for enter/update/exit handling.

Color and Size Legends

This example demonstrates two distinct legend types for different data encodings: a color legend with categorical swatches for fruits and a size legend with scaled circles for numeric values. Built with D3 v5, it renders SVG elements using reusable functions `colorLegend` and `sizeLegend`. The color legend uses `scaleOrdinal` with discrete colors, while the size legend employs `scaleSqrt` and generates ticks via `sizeScale.ticks()`. Both legends position circles and text labels with explicit spacing and offset values.

Color and Size Legends

This example demonstrates how to construct two distinct legends for visualizing data: a color legend for ordinal values and a size legend for quantitative values. The color legend displays categories like apple, lemon, lime, and orange using colored rectangles, while the size legend uses scaled circles representing numeric ticks. The visualization is built with D3 v5, employing `scaleOrdinal` for colors and `scaleSqrt` for sizing, with SVG rendering and custom reusable legend components.

Color and Size Legends

This example demonstrates how to create separate legends for categorical color scales and quantitative size scales in D3.js. A color legend maps fruit names to distinct colors using `d3.scaleOrdinal`, while a size legend uses `d3.scaleSqrt` to show the relationship between numeric values and circle radii. The legends are built from reusable custom components (`colorLegend` and `sizeLegend`) that generate SVG groups with circles and text labels, using the `enter`/`merge` pattern for efficient updates. Ticks for the size scale are generated via `sizeScale.ticks()` and filtered to exclude zero.

Color and Size Legends

This example demonstrates how to create categorical color legends and quantitative size legends using D3.js v5’s `scaleOrdinal` and `scaleSqrt` APIs. The color legend maps fruit names to distinct hues, while the size legend encodes numeric values through circle radii using a square root transformation, with tick marks generated from the scale’s `ticks` method. Both legends are rendered as SVG groups containing circles and text, using the nested general update pattern to handle enter/update/exit transitions efficiently.

Color and Size Legends

This example demonstrates two custom legend types rendered as SVG: a color legend mapping ordinal fruit categories to distinct hues, and a size legend using a square-root scale to encode numeric values through circle radii. The color legend uses `d3.scaleOrdinal` with domains for apple, lemon, lime, and orange, while the size legend employs `d3.scaleSqrt` with tick marks generated from the scale. Both legends are built procedurally using custom functions (`colorLegend` and `sizeLegend`) that append grouped circles and text elements, with spacing and offset parameters controlling layout. The visualization is constructed with D3 v5 and rendered entirely in SVG, with styling applied via CSS classes.
