Two customizable legends demonstrate how D3 v5 encodes data through color and size. The color legend uses `scaleOrdinal` to map fruit categories to distinct hues, while the size legend employs `scaleSqrt` to represent numerical values through circle radii. Both legends are constructed through reusable functions that bind data to SVG groups, with legends rendered as circles and text labels. The color legend applies `attr("fill", colorScale)`, while the size legend filters zero values from its ticks and spaces circles vertically.

Color and Size Legends

Two reusable legend components demonstrate color and size encoding in D3 v5. The color legend uses `scaleOrdinal` to map fruit categories to distinct colors with fixed-radius circles, while the size legend uses `scaleSqrt` to map numeric values to circle radii. Both legends render as SVG groups with tick marks, using D3’s data join pattern and `.call()` to apply each component. The size legend filters out zero values and reverses tick order, with text offset dynamically calculated from each circle’s radius.

Color and Size Legends

This example demonstrates two distinct legend patterns for encoding data. A color legend uses a d3.scaleOrdinal to map categorical fruit names to colored circles, while a size legend employs d3.scaleSqrt to represent numeric values through circle radius, with tick marks generated via sizeScale.ticks. Both legends are built with D3 v5 data joins, appending SVG groups, circles, and text elements with configurable spacing and offsets, rendering in a standalone SVG canvas.

Color and Size Legends

Two reusable D3 legends demonstrate how to encode data through color and size. A color legend maps ordinal fruit names to distinct hues using `scaleOrdinal`, while a size legend translates a quantitative scale from 0 to 10 into circle radii via `scaleSqrt`. Both legends render as SVG groups with labeled ticks, using `selection.merge` to update existing elements efficiently. The examples show legend construction with configurable spacing, text offsets, and tick counts for flexible chart annotations.

Color and Size Legends

Two legends created with D3 v5 are rendered as SVG. The color legend uses a categorical ordinal scale to map fruit categories to colored circles. The size legend uses a square-root scale to map data ticks to circle radii, with a reversed tick order to display larger values first. Both legends are built dynamically using D3's selection and merge APIs within `colorLegend` and `sizeLegend` functions.

Color and Size Legend

Two reusable D3 legends demonstrate how to encode data through color and size. The color legend uses `d3.scaleOrdinal` to map fruit names to categorical colors, while the size legend uses `d3.scaleSqrt` to map numeric values to circle radii. Both legends are implemented as custom D3 functions that append SVG circles and text elements, using `.merge()` for efficient updates and `.exit().remove()` for cleanup. The rendering is entirely SVG-based within a single `<svg>` element, styled with CSS classes.

Color and Size Legends

This example demonstrates two methods for building interactive legends in D3.js v5: a categorical color legend and a quantitative size legend. The color legend uses `scaleOrdinal` to map fruit names to distinct colors, while the size legend uses `scaleSqrt` to map a numeric range to circle radii. Both legends are rendered as SVG groups with circles and text labels, positioned via `translate` transforms. The reusable legend functions (`colorLegend` and `sizeLegend`) accept configuration objects specifying spacing, circle radius, and tick counts, allowing flexible customization within a single SVG canvas.

Color and Size Legends

This example demonstrates two distinct legend types for different data encodings: a color legend with categorical swatches for fruits and a size legend with scaled circles for numeric values. Built with D3 v5, it renders SVG elements using reusable functions `colorLegend` and `sizeLegend`. The color legend uses `scaleOrdinal` with discrete colors, while the size legend employs `scaleSqrt` and generates ticks via `sizeScale.ticks()`. Both legends position circles and text labels with explicit spacing and offset values.

Color and Size Legends

This example demonstrates how to create reusable color and size legends in D3 v5. It uses two custom functions, `colorLegend` and `sizeLegend`, to render ordinal color scales and square-root size scales as SVG groups. The color legend maps fruit categories to distinct fills, while the size legend displays tick values with proportional circle radii. Both legends use D3’s selection joins and scale APIs (`scaleOrdinal`, `scaleSqrt`) to update efficiently.
