This example compares linear and square-root scales for encoding data as circle radii. Two rows of circles, one red and one green, map the same dataset from 0 to 100 using D3's `d3.scaleLinear` and `d3.scaleSqrt`. The linear scale positions circles along the x-axis, while its radius is scaled for visual clarity. The square-root scale directly maps the data to the radius, ensuring that the circle's area, rather than its diameter, is proportional to the value. The SVG output includes an annotation recommending square-root scaling for area-based encodings.

D3: Drawing Scale

This example demonstrates how D3’s linear and square-root scales translate raw data coordinates into pixel positions and circle radii. It plots an array of 11 `[x, y]` pairs as circles and red text labels on an SVG canvas. The code uses `d3.scaleLinear()` for both the x and y axes, and `d3.scaleSqrt()` for sizing the circles proportionally. The scales are configured with custom domains and output ranges, with padding applied to keep marks inside the 500×300 viewport. Data is rendered statically, with labels showing the original coordinate values.

D3 Scale Functions

This example demonstrates how D3 scale functions map input data values to visual output positions. It plots a set of numeric data points as circles along a horizontal axis, with each value labeled above its corresponding circle. The code uses `d3.scaleLinear()` to map the domain (0–10) to a pixel range, and renders the result as SVG elements. An axis is added using `d3.axisBottom()`, and the utility function `getScale` supports multiple scale types, including `scaleSqrt`, `scaleLog`, and `scaleBand`, though only linear is actively applied here.

This example demonstrates how D3 scales map input data to visual output, using a linear scale to position circles along the x-axis and a multi-domain color scale to assign fill colors. The circles represent values from -10 to 10, with colors transitioning from red through gray to blue. It renders as an SVG using d3.scaleLinear for both positioning and color interpolation, with data bound through d3.select and .join(). The code references D3 v7 scale types in utils.js, including scaleTime, scaleBand, and scaleOrdinal, though only linear scales are actively applied.

scale

This example demonstrates the foundational concept of D3 scales by computing and logging values from linear, square root, and time scales, then calculating the extent of a small dataset and applying a linear scale with a nice domain. It uses the d3 v7 library, importing scaleLinear, scaleSqrt, and scaleTime from d3, and renders to a blank SVG canvas. The code defines explicit domains and ranges to show how input values map to output pixel positions, with a dataset of five numeric values and an extent-based domain.

D3 Scale Function PRactice

This example demonstrates D3 scale functions by mapping a small array of numeric values to positions along an SVG axis. It renders circles and labels on a horizontal line using a linear scale, then displays the corresponding axis with `d3.axisBottom`. The code imports a custom `getScale` utility from `utils.js` that switches between D3’s scale types—including `scaleLinear`, `scaleSqrt`, `scaleLog`, and others—although only the linear scale is actively applied. The visualization uses SVG rendering with a fixed 960×500 canvas and D3 v7 via `bundle.js`.

D3: Scaled scatterplot, using a square root scale for circle areas

This example shows a random dataset of 50 points rendered as circles in a scatterplot, with circle area scaled by the y-value using `d3.scaleSqrt`. The SVG chart includes linear x- and y-axes styled with teal strokes and bold labels. The code loads D3 v5 and uses `d3.scaleLinear` for positioning, `d3.axisBottom` and `d3.axisLeft` for ticks, and randomly generated numbers for the data. The `aScale` maps the y-domain to a radius range of 0 to 10, while padding keeps the axes visible. No labels are drawn, as the text elements are commented out.

円の面積の算出法いくつか

This example demonstrates why mapping data values linearly to circle radii is misleading, comparing four encoding strategies in a single SVG chart. Using D3 v5, it plots circles for values 10, 50, and 100 along horizontal axes, with each row applying a different scale: linear radius, linear area, square-root of value as radius, and square-root scale for area. The chart highlights that linear radius mapping makes the circle for 50 appear one-quarter the size of 100, and 10 appear one-hundredth, while square-root-based approaches preserve proportional areas. The code uses `d3.scaleLinear`, `d3.scalePoint`, `d3.scaleBand`, and `d3.axisTop` to render the comparison.

D3 Scale - ScaleLog

This example demonstrates how a logarithmic scale maps data values across an SVG canvas. It places six text labels at positions calculated by a `d3.scaleLog()` function, with a domain spanning from 10 to 100,000 and a range of 0 to 700 pixels. The visualization highlights how log scales compress large numerical ranges, showing labels for 0, 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000, and 100,000 at increasing intervals. The code uses D3 v7’s `scaleLog`, `scaleLinear`, and `scaleSqrt` definitions, rendering the output as SVG text elements.
