This example uses D3 v3 to recreate Sol LeWitt’s geometric wall drawings as an interactive SVG. Two alternating stripe patterns—horizontal and vertical—are clipped by two masks, each divided into alternating black-and-white bands. Within each band, a different D3 symbol (from `d3.symbols`) appears in the inverted color, creating a shifting mosaic of shapes and lines. The SVG scales to the full window, and a CSS `:hover` rule slowly transitions the page background to green over three seconds.

LeWitt with D3

Inspired by Sol LeWitt’s geometric wall drawings, this SVG visualization uses D3 to layer horizontal and vertical striped rectangles over each other. Two masks—one inverted—reveal and hide sections of the grid using D3’s `symbol` shapes (such as circles and crosses) as cutouts. Built with React and D3 v6, the code generates 200 stripes per direction and positions symbols across the canvas to create intersecting patterns.

Full Sol LeWitt Reproduction with D3

This reproduction of a Sol LeWitt wall drawing uses D3.js version 7.8.5 to render layered horizontal and vertical stripes across the full browser window. The SVG output applies two distinct masks to each set of stripes, with each mask containing a row of geometric symbols generated via `d3.symbols` and `d3.symbol`. The inverted mask (white background with black symbols) and non-inverted mask (black background with white symbols) create the contrasting visual interplay characteristic of LeWitt's systematic instructions.

LeWitt Repr

This interactive SVG reproduction of Sol LeWitt’s wall drawing uses masked striped rectangles to create a checkerboard pattern overlaid with a central circular window. The page renders 100 horizontal and 100 vertical stripes, each 10 pixels thick, layered across the full viewport. Two SVG masks—one with a white circle on black, the other inverted—selectively reveal stripes inside or outside the circle, mimicking the artist’s geometric style. A CSS hover transition on the circular area changes its fill to green over three seconds, adding subtle interactivity.

Sol LeWitt Reproduction with D3

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt wall drawing using D3 to generate intersecting horizontal and vertical SVG rectangles. A pair of SVG masks with circular cutouts reveal the lines only within two offset circles, creating an optical moiré pattern across the full viewport. The code uses `d3.select`, `d3.range`, and SVG `mask` elements, rendering 100 stripes in each direction with dimensions tied to `window.innerWidth` and `window.innerHeight`. The result is a precise, generative interpretation of LeWitt’s geometric style, driven entirely by D3’s data join and SVG primitives.

Sol LeWitt Reproduction with D3

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt wall drawing using D3.js, building an SVG scene with horizontal and vertical rectilinear bands. The code creates 100 horizontal stripes, each 10 pixels tall, and applies an SVG circular mask to reveal a circular cutout. A second complementary mask isolates a circular region for vertical stripes, creating an intersecting pattern. Rendered entirely through SVG elements, the piece uses D3’s `select` and chained `append`/`attr` methods for DOM construction, with data driven by a simple loop. The visualization fills the browser window, reflecting the code’s dependence on `window.innerWidth` and `window.innerHeight`.

Full Sol LeWitt Reproduction with D3

This interactive SVG reproduction of a Sol LeWitt piece uses D3 to generate a grid of horizontal and vertical stripes. The code defines two masks that selectively reveal or hide the stripes based on a series of symbol-shaped paths, creating a dynamic and layered geometric composition. The program uses D3's `select`, `range`, `symbol`, and `symbols` functions to build the SVG elements and masks, with the rendering adapting to the window size. The artwork's behavior is driven entirely by the mask transformations and symbol generation.

Full Sol LeWitt Reproduction with D3

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt wall drawing using D3.js, rendering 100 horizontal and 100 vertical stripes across the full browser window. It uses SVG masks to create alternating circular cutouts: the first mask (mask-1) reveals the grid in white with a black circle, while the second (mask-2) inverts the effect. The code employs D3’s `select`, `range`, `symbol`, and `symbols` APIs to generate the geometric composition. The final output is a generative pattern where the intersection of stripes and circular voids produces the artwork’s characteristic visual rhythm.

4:50 So LeWitt Reproduction with D3

This example reproduces Sol LeWitt’s wall drawing “4:50” using D3 with SVG rendering. Two sets of 48 alternating thin horizontal and vertical rectangles intersect, each masked by a distinct pattern of D3’s built-in symbol shapes (such as circles and crosses). Masks are generated with the `symbol` API and applied via the `mask` attribute, using inverted fill colors to create contrasting cutout effects across the grid. The scene fills the entire viewport, with rectangles positioned using D3’s `range` and `join`.
