A grid of 30 circles animates in a sine wave pattern, with each circle’s vertical position oscillating over time to create a flowing, wavelike motion across the screen. The wave’s frequency and amplitude are driven by a time-based function, with circles shifting smoothly as the animation progresses. Built with D3 v7, the visualization uses an SVG container and selects all circles to update their `cy` attributes via D3’s `timer` and `range` APIs. The example is a direct port of a p5.js sine wave demonstration, rendered entirely with SVG elements.

Sine Wave Circles

A grid of 30 circles animates vertically in a sine wave pattern, with each circle’s vertical position determined by its index and a continuously advancing time parameter. The D3 version of the Math Sine Wave P5.js example uses `d3.range` to create the circles, `d3.timer` to drive the animation loop, and SVG circle elements with `cx`, `cy`, and `r` attributes. The sine function from the JavaScript `Math` library calculates the y-coordinate, while a fixed frequency and viewport height shape the wave’s amplitude and period.

Fork of Sine Wave Circles

A row of 30 circles animates vertically in a sine wave pattern across an SVG canvas. The animation continuously updates each circle’s y-coordinate using a time-based sine function, producing a smooth, undulating wave effect. The example uses D3 v7’s `timer` and `range` methods along with the JavaScript `Math.sin` function. Circles are appended via `selectAll`, and their positions are calculated based on the viewport width and height, with a frequency parameter controlling the wave’s oscillation.

Sine Wave Circles

A row of white circles animates vertically to form a flowing sine wave. The visualization uses D3 v4 to bind an array of 40 numbers to SVG circle elements, positioning each along the x-axis. A `d3.timer` continuously updates each circle’s y-coordinate based on the sine of its index plus elapsed time, creating the wave effect. The circles are evenly spaced with a fixed radius, rendered on a black background.

Fork of Sine Wave Circles

This example visualizes a sine wave as a row of 30 circles that oscillate vertically in sequence, creating an undulating wave pattern across a 960-by-500 SVG canvas. Each circle’s y-position is determined by a sine function whose phase shifts with time and varies with the circle’s index, producing a smooth, continuous wave animation. The code uses D3 v7’s `range` and `timer` APIs to drive the animation, updating circle positions via selection attributes. It is a direct port of a p5.js sine wave example, implemented with SVG elements and vanilla JavaScript.

Sine Wave Circles Playground

A grid of 300 white circles forms a static horizontal row that animates vertically as a sine wave, creating a fluid, undulating pattern across a black background. The animation uses D3 v7's `d3.timer` to continuously update each circle's `cy` attribute based on the sine of its index and elapsed time. Written in ES6 and ported from an older bl.ocks.org example, this SVG-based playground demonstrates how math functions can drive simple shapes into organic motion.

Fork of Sine Wave Circles

A sine wave is visualized as a horizontal row of 30 circles whose vertical positions oscillate over time, creating a smooth wave-like motion across the SVG canvas. The code uses D3.js v7 to bind a numeric range to circle elements, computing each circle’s y-coordinate from a sine function of its index plus a time offset from `d3.timer`. The amplitude is scaled to the SVG height, with a fixed radius derived from the width and circle count. This D3 adaptation mirrors the original p5.js example, rendering animated circles without any external data source.

Fork of Sine Wave Circles

A row of 30 circles animates vertically to form a traveling sine wave across the SVG canvas. Each circle’s y-position is computed from the sine of its index, producing a smooth, continuous oscillation over time. The visualization uses D3 v7’s `range` to generate the circle data, `timer` to drive the animation loop, and `Math.sin` to calculate wave displacement. All elements are rendered as SVG `<circle>` nodes, with the wave frequency fixed and the height normalized relative to the viewport.

Fork of Sine Wave Circles

A D3.js animation renders a field of 100 white circles that oscillate vertically in a sine wave pattern across a black SVG canvas. Each circle's vertical position is calculated using the sine of its horizontal index divided by five, plus a time-based increment from the `d3.timer` callback, producing a smooth, continuous wave motion. The circles are evenly distributed horizontally based on the SVG width and sized proportionally. The example, a port of the P5.js Math Sine Wave, demonstrates D3's core selection and attribute-updating APIs, leveraging SVG circles as the primary rendering primitive for the animated visualization.
