This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt-style drawing using D3.js, rendering two sets of horizontal and vertical striped rectangles that intersect within circular masks on an SVG canvas. The code generates 100 of each rectangle type, with the first mask revealing a solid circle and the second inverting the pattern, creating a layered geometric contrast. It uses D3’s `select` and `range` functions from version 6.6.1 to build the SVG dynamically, positioning elements based on window dimensions.

Sol LeWitt with D3

This example recreates a Sol LeWitt–inspired geometric drawing using D3.js. It displays 100 horizontal and 100 vertical rectangles that intersect within two circular masks, producing a crosshatched pattern confined to circular regions. The visualization uses D3’s `select`, `range`, and data joins to bind arrays of indices to SVG `rect` elements. Masking is implemented with two SVG `mask` definitions, each combining a full-canvas rectangle with a circle, to alternately reveal or hide the grid lines.

Sol LeWitt Reproduction with D3

This example recreates a Sol LeWitt-style drawing using intersecting striped rectangles and circular masks. It renders two sets of perpendicular lines—horizontal and vertical—each composed of 100 thin `rect` elements, with overlapping regions revealed through the use of SVG `mask` elements and circles. The visualization uses D3 v7’s `select`, `range`, and `join` methods to generate and bind data, drawing directly to an SVG canvas sized to the browser window. The complementary masks create a striking negative-space circle in the center.

Sol LeWitt Reproduction with D3

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt wall drawing using SVG masks and layered rectangles in D3 v7. It shows two sets of alternating horizontal and vertical stripes, each confined to a circular region in the center of the screen. The code uses `d3.select`, `d3.range`, and data joins to generate 100 rectangles per direction, while SVG `<mask>` elements with black-and-white circles define the visible circular areas. The rendering is fully SVG-based and responds to the full window size.

Sol LeWitt Reproduction with D3 and groups

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt-style drawing using overlapping horizontal and vertical striped rectangles, with a central circular region revealed through two complementary SVG masks. The code uses D3’s `select`, `range`, and `.join` API to generate 100 rects in each direction, setting their positions and dimensions from the window size. A `mask` element with a black background and white circle creates a circular window for the horizontal bars, while a second mask with inverted colors applies to the vertical bars, producing a contrasting intersection at the center.

Sol LeWitt in D3

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt wall drawing using D3.js and raw SVG manipulation. It generates 100 vertical and 100 horizontal rectangles, applying circular masks to create intersecting line patterns against contrasting backgrounds. The code manually constructs SVG elements and mask definitions, using two masks with inverse color schemes to reveal or hide portions of the drawn lines. It relies on D3 for selection and the document object model, while the rendering approach uses native SVG APIs.

Sol LeWitt Reproduction with D3

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt art piece using D3 v6. It displays a grid of vertical and horizontal striped rectangles overlaid with two circular masks, creating intersecting line patterns. The visualization uses `d3.select`, `d3.range`, and the `join` pattern to generate 100 SVG rectangle elements in each direction. Two SVG masks, each containing a black or white circle, selectively reveal or hide portions of the stripes, producing the geometric contrast characteristic of LeWitt’s work. The SVG fills the entire browser window.

Sol Lewitt with D3

This example recreates a Sol LeWitt-inspired drawing by layering horizontal and vertical stripes within circular masks. The stripes are generated as SVG rectangles using D3's `select` and `range` utilities, with the `join` operator binding data to the DOM. Two SVG masks create contrasting circular windows: one reveals the grid inside a circle, the other creates an inverse ring effect. The visualization adapts to the full browser window, using the viewport dimensions for the canvas size, and renders entirely through SVG elements without a separate data source.

Full Sol LeWitt reproduction with D3

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt-style drawing using two sets of overlapping rectangular grids, each masked to reveal a circular region at the center of the screen. Vertical and horizontal stripes alternate visibility through complementary black-and-white circle masks, creating an intersecting pattern. The visualization uses D3 v7 with `select`, `range`, and SVG masks. It generates 100 rectangles per axis, sized relative to the viewport, and appends them dynamically without binding external data.
