Forked from Scatter Plot with gradient mask

This example shows a scatter plot transformed by an SVG image mask, where a circular region filled with a photographic image is revealed through a pattern of 1,000 randomly generated points. The points are generated using a custom `generateRandomPoints` function and drawn as white circles inside a mask, while a pattern element loads an external BBC news image. D3 v6 selections, the `mask` and `pattern` SVG elements, and radius-based circle rendering combine to create the effect, with the mask applied only to the central circle rather than the entire SVG canvas.

D3 Scatter Plot with mask

This example displays a scatter plot of 200 randomly generated points, each rendered as a small black circle. A circular mask, centered on the canvas, is applied to the SVG group, revealing only the points that fall within its bounds. The visualization uses the D3.js library (v6) for random point generation and SVG rendering. A mask element with a white circle over a black rectangle defines the visible region, creating a spotlight effect on the data.

Scatter Plot with gradient mask

A full-screen scatter plot displays 2,000 random points individually as white circles, revealing a large red-to-blue linear gradient only through the circular gaps. The random point coordinates are generated with a custom `generateRandomPoints` function. The code applies the gradient to a single circle, then defines an SVG `<mask>` containing the white point circles to cut the gradient shape, demonstrating mask-based data visualization with d3 v6.

MaskTest

This example demonstrates how SVG masks can create intersecting geometric patterns. Two sets of thin, full-length rectangles—horizontal and vertical—are drawn across the entire viewport using d3.range and d3.selectAll. Each set applies a different circular mask: one reveals a white circle against a black background, while the other inverts the mask, hiding the circle. The result is a crosshatched grid with a central circular region where the two masked layers visibly interact. The code uses D3 v6 selections and the SVG `<mask>` element.

patterns masked

A grid of horizontal and vertical stripes is partially revealed through a circular mask, creating a layered pattern where the lines cross and overlap within the masked region. The visualization uses raw SVG APIs, including `document.createElementNS` to construct rectangles and a mask with a circle, alongside `setAttribute` to position elements. The stripes form a woven texture, and the mask highlights a central focal area while leaving the surrounding space empty.

D3, Mask code with star shape

This example shows a grid of horizontal and vertical stripes overlaid on a full-screen SVG, with two complementary star-shaped masks cutting through the pattern. The first mask reveals the horizontal stripes through a white star on black, while the second mask applies the inverse effect to the vertical stripes. The visualization uses D3 v7’s `range`, `selectAll`, and `symbol` API to generate 100 rect elements per orientation and construct the star paths via `symbol(symbols[4], 100000)`. Masks are defined with custom `mask` elements and applied via the `mask` attribute, producing a layered, intersecting star composition.

SVG Foundamentals

This example demonstrates how SVG masks and primitive shapes combine to create a striking visual effect. It displays 100 horizontal rectangles filling the viewport, with a circular mask revealing only the area inside a 200-pixel-radius circle centered on the screen. Using D3.js version 7.6.1, the code binds data via `d3.range` and `selectAll` to generate the rectangles, then appends a `mask` element containing a black background rectangle and a white circle to control visibility. The rendering approach relies entirely on SVG elements and DOM manipulation through `d3.select`.

svg fund

A grid of 100 thin horizontal rectangles spans the full width of the viewport, but a circular mask reveals only the central portion of this striped pattern. The visualization demonstrates how SVG masks work by layering a white circle on a black background to selectively hide or show the underlying marks. Built with D3’s `select`, `range`, and `join` methods, the code appends rectangles with a shared `mask` attribute, then constructs the mask using SVG `mask` and `circle` elements. The data is a simple sequential range, and the circle is centered at half the window’s dimensions.

multi masks

This example creates an abstract pattern of 100 horizontal and 100 vertical stripes overlaid on an SVG canvas, with each stripe masked by one of two complementary masks. The masks are defined using D3’s `mask` element, where black and white rectangles and symbol shapes (from `d3.symbol`) determine visibility. The code uses D3 selections and `join` to bind data from `d3.range`, and applies masks via `attr('mask', 'url(#mask-1)')`. The result is a woven, crosshatched visual effect generated entirely in the browser.
