This example animates a dynamic wave of circles that continuously change in number, position, and radius across the screen. The visualization uses D3 v7’s `select` and `range` functions to generate positional data based on a cosine function, with a time variable `t` incrementing every frame. The circles are rendered as SVG elements and updated via D3’s `join` pattern, which efficiently manages enter, update, and exit selections. The animation runs at 60 frames per second using `setInterval`, creating a smooth, oscillating motion that responds to the evolving data.

select d3

A wave of circles animates across the screen, with each circle’s vertical position following a sine function that changes over time. The number of visible circles also fluctuates as the wave’s frequency shifts. Built with React, the visualization uses d3.select to append an SVG filling the viewport, then d3.range to generate data points updated with a setInterval loop. D3’s data join (`selectAll().data().join()`) binds the new array to existing circle elements, smoothly adjusting their `cx` and `cy` attributes each frame.

D3 practice

An animated wave of circles moves across the screen, with fifteen evenly spaced circles rising and falling in a smooth sinusoidal pattern. Each circle is rendered as an SVG element, with its vertical position recalculated at 60 frames per second using a time-based sine function. The code uses D3’s `select`, `range`, and `join` methods to bind data and update the circle positions, while a `setInterval` drives the animation loop, updating a time variable that shifts the wave phase.

d3 selection

This example demonstrates a dynamic visualization of circles that move vertically in a sine-wave pattern, with the number of circles oscillating over time. Constructed with React and D3.js, the SVG rendering updates at 60 frames per second using an interval timer. The code leverages D3’s `select` to append an SVG canvas and `range` to generate data, while `selectAll` and `.join` bind circle elements to the evolving dataset. The animation adjusts each circle’s x and y coordinates based on a time variable, creating a fluid, rhythmic motion.

D3 Selection Exploration

This example demonstrates a dynamic animation of fifteen circles moving in a sinusoidal wave pattern across the screen, with each circle’s vertical position updated continuously. The visualization uses the D3.js library (version 6.6.2), specifically leveraging the `select`, `range`, and `join` APIs to manage the SVG elements. The code generates data points calculated from a time variable, then updates the circles’ `cx` and `cy` attributes at a fixed 60-frame-per-second interval using `setInterval`. The rendering is SVG-based, with a live animation that replays the wave motion indefinitely.

D3

This example animates a set of circles moving in a horizontal wave pattern across the screen. The number of circles changes over time, increasing and decreasing in response to a sine function. Built with D3 v6, the visualization updates at roughly 60 frames per second using `setInterval`, joining new data with `selection.join` to create and position the SVG circles. The `range` and `select` APIs generate the data and manage the DOM.

D3 selection exploration

This example explores D3 selections and data joins through an animated visualization. A sinusoidal wave of circles moves across the screen, with the number of circles oscillating based on a time variable. The code uses d3.select and d3.range to generate data, then applies the selection’s `.data()`, `.join()`, and attribute setters to update SVG circle positions each frame. The animation runs via `setInterval` at 60fps, with sine functions driving both the vertical placement and count of circles, demonstrating enter, update, and exit behavior.

D3 Selection

This example demonstrates a dynamic set of 50 circles that move vertically in a wave-like pattern using a cosine function. The animation updates every 50 milliseconds, with each circle’s y-coordinate shifting based on its x-position and a time increment. The visualization shows D3’s selection and update capabilities, where circles are appended to the SVG canvas and their attributes (cx, cy, fill) are updated in place. The code uses `d3.select`, `d3.range`, and D3’s enter/update selection API to efficiently manage the animated data.

D3 selection exploration

Ten animated circles form a sine wave pattern across the screen, with their vertical positions shifting continuously to create a smooth undulating motion. Using D3 v7's `select` and `range` functions, the code binds an array of ten data points to SVG circle elements via the `join` method, updating each circle's `cx` and `cy` attributes every frame at 60 frames per second. The example demonstrates both the data-join pattern and the newer `join` syntax as an alternative to the older `enter`/`merge` approach, with the animation driven by a `setInterval` timer that increments a time variable.
