This example illustrates two methods for creating a blue SVG rectangle: a static, hand-coded SVG element and a dynamically generated rectangle via D3. The static bar is defined directly in the HTML markup, while the D3 bar is built by chaining `d3.select` and `.append` calls. The code uses d3.v7 to append an SVG and style the rectangle with a `fill` style, showing the same visual output achievable through both declarative and programmatic approaches.

Drawing SVG Shapes with D3

This example contrasts hand-written SVG markup with D3-generated SVG for drawing a simple bar shape. It shows a static green rectangle created directly in HTML using the `<rect>` element, and an identical rectangle produced dynamically via D3’s selection and append methods. The page uses `d3.select`, `append`, `attr`, and `style` to construct and style the SVG node in the DOM. The code relies on D3 v7 loaded from a CDN and does not use any data binding or scales.

Drawing SVG rect with D3

This example demonstrates two ways to render a blue SVG rectangle: one statically defined directly in HTML markup, and another generated dynamically using D3’s selection and data-join methods. The code uses `d3.select` to append an `svg` element to the body, then chains an `append('rect')` call to set its width and height attributes via `.attr()` and its fill color via `.style()`. A hand-written `<rect>` element appears above as a visual comparison, while the D3-generated rectangle is rendered below, with both sharing the same dimensions and color.

D3 SVG

This example demonstrates basic SVG shapes rendered with D3.js, showing how static geometric elements can be drawn directly in a web page. It displays a blue circle and a rectangular outline with a stroke, positioned at fixed coordinates within an SVG canvas of 500 by 960 pixels. The code uses the D3.js library to construct the SVG container and its child elements, with circle and rect tags defining the visual properties. The rendering approach relies on D3’s SVG manipulation capabilities, though no data binding or dynamic updates occur, as the shapes are hardcoded in the HTML structure.

Drawing circles with d3

This example demonstrates two approaches to drawing a circle with D3, resulting in side-by-side red and blue circles. One circle is created directly in static SVG markup within the HTML, while the other is generated dynamically using D3’s selection and append methods, chaining `attr` calls to set the `cx`, `cy`, and `r` properties and `style` to fill the shape. The code uses `d3.select` and `d3.append` from the D3 v5 library to construct the SVG element and its circle child, showcasing basic programmatic SVG creation.

SVG starter

This example demonstrates a minimal SVG-based bar chart with three static rectangles rendered in steelblue, green, and red. The SVG canvas is created by appending an `svg` element to the HTML body via D3's selection API, with a height of 500 and width of 960. Each rectangle is positioned using explicit `x` and `height` attributes, with widths fixed at 50 pixels. A loop then appends additional red rectangles at intervals of 100 pixels, though the loop condition prevents it from executing properly.

d3 intro

This example demonstrates basic SVG shapes—a blue circle and a magenta rectangle—rendered on an HTML page, with a yellow SVG canvas sized at 900 by 500 pixels. The page also includes commented-out D3 code that would select the SVG, set its dimensions, apply a light blue background, and append a circle at new coordinates. The visible output relies on static SVG elements, while the script shows the intended use of d3.select and d3.append for dynamic manipulation, though it is not executed due to the commented syntax.

D3 Page Template

This example uses D3 v5 to render a simple bar chart. It creates an SVG canvas of 300 by 300 pixels, then defines a dataset of six numeric values. The code selects the SVG element, binds the data to it, and appends rectangles with widths proportional to the data values. Each rectangle’s height is fixed at 30 pixels minus a small gap, and its y-position is offset by index. The bars are uniformly colored steel blue. The rendering is purely SVG-based, using `d3.select`, `.append`, `.data`, and `.enter` to construct and position the bars.

D3 SVG Tutorial

This example shows a static bar chart of a 20-point dataset rendered as an SVG, with each bar’s height and color intensity tied to its value. The code uses D3.js version 3.5.5, applying the `d3.select` and `data().enter()` pattern to append rectangles and text labels. Bars are positioned with arithmetic on the dataset length and fixed width/height variables, while fill colors are generated as RGB values scaled by data. The chart demonstrates basic SVG shape binding and data-driven styling without axes or interaction.
