Forked from d3 and canvas - the bind, the draw and the pick

This example demonstrates a dynamic grid of colored cells on an HTML canvas, where each cell represents a data point. A hidden secondary canvas is used for mouse picking; each cell gets a unique color assigned via `genColor()`, and this color is mapped to the original data in a dictionary (`colourToNode`). When the user hovers over the visible canvas, the tooltip displays the corresponding data value by reading the pixel color from the hidden canvas. The visualization uses d3.v4 for data binding and transitions, and it redraws both canvases continuously.

d3 and canvas - the bind, the draw and the pick

This example demonstrates how d3 and Canvas can work together for interactive visualization, showing 5,000 colored grid cells arranged in a 10x10 group layout. The code uses d3.v4 to bind data to custom DOM elements, applying sequential color scales with d3.interpolateSpectral. Rendering happens through a main canvas while a hidden canvas uses unique generated RGB colors and a color-to-node map for picking interactions. A tooltip appears on hover, and d3.timer animates cell widths during transitions, with optional React integration via VizHub.

Fork of d3 and canvas - the bind, the draw and the pick

This example demonstrates a grid of colored rectangles, where each cell represents a data point and its color is mapped from its value using a spectral color scale. The visualization implements a picking mechanism for canvas-based interactivity by assigning each rectangle a unique, hidden color stored in a separate off-screen canvas. Using D3 v4, the code binds data to custom elements, then draws the visible grid with animations, while the hidden canvas enables precise hit-testing through color lookup, demonstrated with a tooltip.

Fork of d3 and canvas - the bind, the draw and the pick

This example shows an interactive canvas visualization of 5,000 colored grid cells, where users can adjust the number of cells via a text input and hover to see a tooltip with the cell’s value. It uses D3 v4 for data binding and scales, while rendering both a visible canvas and a hidden canvas for color-based picking—mapping each cell to a unique RGB color via `getImageData` to identify hovered elements. The demo includes a timer-driven animation that redraws the grid over 300 milliseconds.

d3 and canvas - the bind and the draw

This example demonstrates how D3’s data join can drive canvas rendering through a custom HTML element as an intermediate container. The visualization displays a grid of colored cells, with the number of cells controlled by a text input, and animates their appearance. The code binds data to custom elements using D3’s `selectAll`, `enter`, and `merge`, then draws each cell’s position and fill style onto a 2D canvas context, using a `d3.scaleSequential` color scale and `d3.timer` for animation.

D3 version 4 and the HTML5 Canvas API draw animated, colored grids of cells whose count is set by user input between 1 and 10,000. The code binds data to custom DOM elements, using transitions to animate cell size and fillStyle, then a d3.timer repeatedly invokes a draw function that clears and repaints the canvas. A d3.scaleSequential with d3.interpolateSpectral maps data values to colors.

Canvas Animation Using D3.js II

This example demonstrates an interactive canvas visualization using D3.js, where moving the mouse highlights circles that are generated and animated on a canvas. It uses an offscreen canvas with the same dimensions as the main one, rendered ahead of time, so that the code can detect hovered circles via `ctx.getImageData(mouseX, mouseY, 1, 1)`. The interface includes a dat.GUI control to adjust the circle count, which regenerates the data and redraws the canvas, alongside a stats.js monitor for rendering frequency. Clicking a button reveals the offscreen canvas as an image via `toDataURL()`.

Gist ac01c91d8c9c9dd4b825

This example uses D3.js and the HTML5 Canvas API to render an interactive color picker that visualizes the HCL (Hue-Chroma-Lightness) color space. It shows a 500×500 pixel grid where the horizontal axis maps hue from 360 to 0 degrees, the vertical axis maps lightness from 0 to 100, and chroma is fixed at 35. The code uses `d3.scale.linear` to map pixel coordinates to color values, converts HCL to RGB via `d3.hcl().rgb()`, and writes the results directly to image data with `createImageData` and `putImageData`. Moving the mouse over the canvas triggers `getImageData` to read the pixel color and display its hex value in a label, demonstrating direct pixel manipulation without SVG or DOM elements.

d3 selection exploration

This example demonstrates a generative, interactive line chart within a black canvas. As a timer progresses, the visualization automatically appends points to a path, creating a random walk from the bottom of the screen upward. A semi-transparent radial gradient follows the user's mouse cursor, acting as a spotlight that reveals the chart's details. The implementation relies on D3 v7's selection and `.join()` operations to efficiently manage SVG elements, with mouse events updating a circle and text label in real time.
