This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt geometric artwork using D3.js v6 to generate a square divided into four quadrants, each filled with distinct linear patterns. The visualization uses SVG rendering with `d3.select` and `d3.range` to create hundreds of thin rectangular shapes, while SVG `<mask>` elements define the boundaries of each quadrant. Horizontal, vertical, and rotated line patterns are clipped within the masks, recreating LeWitt’s systematic, rule-based aesthetic. The code defines all layout parameters manually, including square positions and rotation transforms, producing a static, procedural homage to the original piece.

Fork of Episode 4: Sol LeWitt Reproduction with D3

This example reproduces one quadrant of a Sol LeWitt wall drawing, showing a single square of repeating horizontal stripes clipped to mask boundaries. The visualization uses D3 v6 to generate 100 SVG rectangles positioned vertically across the full viewport, each masked by a white 150×150 pixel square in the canvas’s top-left corner. The code defines the mask with SVG `<mask>` elements and appends rectangle data via `selectAll`, `data`, and `join`, using `range` from D3 to supply indices. Only the top-left square is enabled; the other three quadrants remain commented out.

Fork of Episode 4: Sol LeWitt Reproduction with D3

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt wall drawing using an SVG canvas. Four equal quadrants display distinct generative line patterns: horizontal bands in the top left, vertical lines in the top right, diagonal hatching in the bottom left, and a rotated diagonal grid in the bottom right, each confined by rectangular masks. The work uses D3 v6 to generate repeated rectangles via `selectAll("rect").join("rect")`, applying spatial transformations like `rotate(45)` and `translate(-100, 0)` to create geometric variations. The full browser window serves as the drawing surface, with each pattern built from 100 iterated shapes.

Fork of Episode 4: Sol LeWitt Reproduction with D3

This example recreates a Sol LeWitt-style geometric drawing using SVG masks to reveal distinct line patterns in four quadrants. The code uses D3 selections and `range(n)` to generate 100 horizontal, vertical, and diagonally rotated rectangles, each clipped by a rectangular mask. The `select` and `append` methods build the SVG canvas and mask elements, while `join` binds data to create the rects. The result demonstrates how D3 v3 and SVG masking can compose layered linear compositions.

Episode 4: Sol LeWitt Reproduction with D3

This piece reproduces a Sol LeWitt wall drawing by dividing the viewport into four quadrants, each displaying a distinct pattern of narrow black lines: horizontal, vertical, and two diagonal sets. The design uses D3 selections and masks to clip these lines into separate square regions. The code creates SVG rectangles via `selectAll` and `join`, with each quadrant’s pattern masked using SVG `<mask>` elements. The example relies on D3 v6 and renders purely as SVG, without external data, highlighting the minimal geometry of LeWitt’s original work.

Fork of Sol LeWitt Reproduction with D3

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt art piece using D3.js version 6 and SVG rendering. The visualization shows a grid of horizontal and vertical rectangles, with two circular masks creating a layered geometric pattern where the lines alternate visibility. The code employs `d3.select`, `d3.range`, and the `join` method to generate 100 rect elements for each orientation. SVG masks—defined with distinct IDs and circles of white and black fills—control which line segments appear within the overlapping circular regions.

Fork of Sol LeWitt Reproduction with D3

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt art piece using D3. It draws a grid of horizontal and vertical rectangles that are masked by two circles, creating a pattern of alternating lines within circular cutouts. The code uses D3’s `select` and `range` functions to generate SVG elements, and applies SVG masks with `circle` elements to clip the rectangles. The artwork is rendered as an SVG, filling the browser window.

Fork of Sol LeWitt Reproduction

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt wall drawing using D3.js version 7.3.0, generating a grid-like pattern of alternating vertical and horizontal bands over the full browser viewport. The artwork uses two SVG masks—one with a white circle punched through black and another with a black circle on white—so that vertical stripes appear only within the circular region, while horizontal stripes are visible everywhere except inside that circle. The code constructs 100 rectangles in each orientation via `selectAll` and `data().join()`, setting positions and dimensions to cover the canvas.

Fork of Sol LeWitt Reproduction with D3

This visualization reproduces a Sol LeWitt art piece using D3.js, rendering 100 horizontal and 100 vertical striped rectangles in an SVG canvas. The artwork uses two circular mask patterns—one with a black background and white circle, another with inverted colors—to create intersecting circular cutouts where the lines cross. The code uses D3's `select`, `range`, and `join` APIs to efficiently generate and position the rect elements, with the masks applied via SVG `mask` attributes to achieve the geometric composition.
