Two SVG panels compare a standard D3 line path with a curved variant using D3 version 7. The code draws a linear path through six explicit coordinate points (x, y), then applies `d3.curveCardinal` to the same data via `d3.line().curve()` to produce a smoother interpolation. Each panel renders the resulting path as an SVG `<path>` element using the `lineGenerator` and `curveGenerator` functions, overlaid with reference circles marking the original data points. The example demonstrates how the curve generator modifies the path data without changing the underlying dataset.

shapes

This example demonstrates how to generate a smooth, curving line path in D3 version 7 using the `d3.line` generator with the `curveCardinal` interpolation. The code defines an array of six coordinate points and passes them to the generator, whose output is then assigned to an SVG `<path>` element via the `attr` method. The visualization runs entirely in an SVG renderer with a single path displaying the resulting curved shape on a 2000x2000 canvas. The example highlights a minimal, direct approach to converting raw coordinate data into a visual shape.

D3Path

D3Path demonstrates two fundamental D3.js geometry primitives rendered as SVG paths. The left side plots a polyline through four explicit data points using `d3.line()`, with commented-out curve options (`d3.curveCardinal`, `d3.curveBasis`, etc.) illustrating alternative interpolation strategies. The right side draws three concentric arc segments using `d3.arc()` with varying radii (`innerRadius`, `outerRadius`), angles, and padding (`padAngle`) to produce multi-colored pie-like wedges. The example uses hardcoded JavaScript arrays for data and D3 v6 directly from the unpkg CDN, with an SVG canvas sized 1600x800, showcasing basic path construction without external styling.

d3 curve

This example shows a green curve rendered through an SVG path, connecting four user-defined points using D3’s line generator with the natural cubic spline interpolation. The curve’s shape is computed from the point coordinates, which are explicitly set inside the JavaScript code. D3.v5 is used to build the path data, while the path is appended to an `<svg>` element with the ID `svg1`. The page also includes a separate canvas element, though it is not involved in this rendering. The code references `getPointAtLength` to inspect the path geometry.

Line (using curveCardinal)

A line chart uses a cardinal spline to connect six predefined data points across an SVG canvas. The d3.line generator with the curveCardinal interpolation produces a smooth, curved path through the points, which are also marked as circles on the chart. The rendering relies on D3 v4’s selection and attribute methods to assign the generated path data to the SVG path element.

D3 Curve Explorer

This interactive example shows how different D3 curve types interpolate the same set of draggable points, with buttons to toggle curve families and variants like `curveLinear`, `curveBasis`, `curveBundle`, and `curveCardinal` at various parameters. A sidebar displays a description of the active curve. Users can drag points, add new points via the plus icon, and remove them with the minus icon, all rendered as SVG elements. The code uses D3 v4’s shape API to generate the path data and event handlers for mouse interaction.

D3 Shapes In action

This example demonstrates how to generate a line chart from random data points using D3's line generator. The code creates 200 points with x-coordinates increasing by 3 and y-coordinates randomly assigned between 0 and 100, then passes this array to `d3.line()` to produce a smooth path. The resulting SVG path element is styled with a gray stroke and no fill, and the file uses D3 version 7.8.5 with SVG rendering, as specified in the HTML and package configuration.

hello path

This example demonstrates two fundamental D3.js path generators: `d3.line` and `d3.arc`. A black polyline connects four data points, with commented-out curve options like `d3.curveCardinal` and `d3.curveBasis` showing alternative interpolation methods. Beside it, three arc segments rendered via `d3.arc` form a partial donut chart with varying inner radii, fill colors, and a pad angle, all drawn as SVG paths on a 1600x800 canvas.

Curved Lines

Four line charts show how D3’s curve bundle interpolator changes with beta values of 0, 0.25, 0.5, and 1, producing progressively smoother, more rounded paths from the same six fixed points. Each chart uses the same coordinates, with only the curve function varying, and is drawn as an SVG path with a black stroke. The example reproduces a figure from Munzner’s *Visualization Analysis and Design* using D3 v5’s `d3.line()` and `d3.curveBundle.beta()`.
