This visualization displays seven notable mathematical constants—such as π, e, and √2—as circles positioned along a linear scale representing their numeric values. The chart uses D3 v5 with SVG rendering, employing `scaleLinear` for the x-axis and `scaleBand` for the categorical y-axis, with dashed grid lines extending from each tick. Data is loaded from a CSV file containing names and numeric properties, and the circles are styled in deeppink with a titled header. The design builds on a prior bar chart example, replacing bars with circles to emphasize the proportional differences among the constants.

Untitled

The chart demonstrates why mapping values linearly to circle radii distorts data, using four strategies in a horizontal dot plot. Groups with 10, 30, 50, and 100 show that linear radius scaling makes larger values appear disproportionately small, while a square-root-adjusted radius or linear area scaling preserves proportional perception. The visualization uses D3 v5 with `d3.scaleLinear`, `d3.scalePoint`, and `d3.axisTop` to compare encodings, highlighting area as the correct perceptual channel for bubbles.

Circles Legend

This example demonstrates a legend for circle-marked data, using the same linear scale as the main visualization to encode values. It shows three reference circles sized for data values of 50, 150, and the maximum value, with dotted leader lines and numeric labels indicating the encoded quantity. The implementation uses D3 v4’s `d3.scaleLinear` for the mapping, SVG circles, lines, and text elements, and reads sample data from an inline array. A distinct visual pattern links each circle’s radius to a numeric value through the shared scale.

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.

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.

Bar Chart I

This bar chart visualizes six numeric values—4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42—as horizontal bars whose widths are proportional to the data. The chart uses D3 v3’s `d3.scale.linear` to map the domain from zero to the maximum value (42) onto a pixel range of 0–420. Each bar is a styled `div` element with a steelblue background, white text, and a width set via the `style` operator. The code appends these divs using `d3.select` and `.selectAll("div").data(...)`, with the data bound to the DOM. The bars’ labels display the original values.

Arrays

This example visualizes a simple array of numeric values as circles rendered in an SVG canvas. The code uses d3.select to create an SVG element sized to the full browser window, then prepares to bind the array data to circle elements. While the circle positioning and styling logic is incomplete, the example demonstrates the foundational pattern of data binding with d3’s selection and data join methods. The array `[2, 1, 3, 20]` serves as the dataset, with d3 version 7.6.1 imported via npm.

Check

This example demonstrates a scatterplot with five circles positioned on an SVG canvas, each sized according to a numerical value. The visualization is built using D3 version 7, specifically leveraging `select`, `scaleLinear`, `extent`, and the `axisLeft` and `axisBottom` helpers. The chart maps data from an inline array of objects with `xVal`, `yVal`, and `rVal` properties to positions and radii. The code uses the declarative scale functions to compute the mapping and appends the resulting circles to the SVG element, with the axes rendered at the left and bottom edges.
