This example demonstrates how varying the beta parameter of d3.curveBundle alters the shape of a line connecting four fixed points. Seven paths are rendered as SVG elements, each using a different beta value from 0.4 to 1.0, with opacity increasing proportionally to the beta index. The d3.line generator applies the selected curve function to the same point array, producing a family of curves that gradually transition from a tight, angled path to a smoother, more rounded one. The visualization highlights the sensitivity of bundle curves to their tension parameter.

Curved Lines

Four line charts show how D3’s curve bundle interpolator changes with beta values of 0, 0.25, 0.5, and 1, producing progressively smoother, more rounded paths from the same six fixed points. Each chart uses the same coordinates, with only the curve function varying, and is drawn as an SVG path with a black stroke. The example reproduces a figure from Munzner’s *Visualization Analysis and Design* using D3 v5’s `d3.line()` and `d3.curveBundle.beta()`.

D3 Line - Curve

Two SVG panels compare a standard D3 line path with a curved variant using D3 version 7. The code draws a linear path through six explicit coordinate points (x, y), then applies `d3.curveCardinal` to the same data via `d3.line().curve()` to produce a smoother interpolation. Each panel renders the resulting path as an SVG `<path>` element using the `lineGenerator` and `curveGenerator` functions, overlaid with reference circles marking the original data points. The example demonstrates how the curve generator modifies the path data without changing the underlying dataset.

d3 curve

This example shows a green curve rendered through an SVG path, connecting four user-defined points using D3’s line generator with the natural cubic spline interpolation. The curve’s shape is computed from the point coordinates, which are explicitly set inside the JavaScript code. D3.v5 is used to build the path data, while the path is appended to an `<svg>` element with the ID `svg1`. The page also includes a separate canvas element, though it is not involved in this rendering. The code references `getPointAtLength` to inspect the path geometry.

D3 Curve Explorer

This interactive example shows how different D3 curve types interpolate the same set of draggable points, with buttons to toggle curve families and variants like `curveLinear`, `curveBasis`, `curveBundle`, and `curveCardinal` at various parameters. A sidebar displays a description of the active curve. Users can drag points, add new points via the plus icon, and remove them with the minus icon, all rendered as SVG elements. The code uses D3 v4’s shape API to generate the path data and event handlers for mouse interaction.

shapes

This example demonstrates how to generate a smooth, curving line path in D3 version 7 using the `d3.line` generator with the `curveCardinal` interpolation. The code defines an array of six coordinate points and passes them to the generator, whose output is then assigned to an SVG `<path>` element via the `attr` method. The visualization runs entirely in an SVG renderer with a single path displaying the resulting curved shape on a 2000x2000 canvas. The example highlights a minimal, direct approach to converting raw coordinate data into a visual shape.

D3 Shapes In action

This example demonstrates how to generate a line chart from random data points using D3's line generator. The code creates 200 points with x-coordinates increasing by 3 and y-coordinates randomly assigned between 0 and 100, then passes this array to `d3.line()` to produce a smooth path. The resulting SVG path element is styled with a gray stroke and no fill, and the file uses D3 version 7.8.5 with SVG rendering, as specified in the HTML and package configuration.

Book LRND3 v4 Chapter3

This example demonstrates shape generation and path interpolation in D3 v5, drawing a sine wave with multiple curve types including d3.curveStepBefore and d3.curveBasis, alongside an area chart and an arc. The visualization splits the SVG canvas into quadrants, each showing different geometric primitives: a line path, a filled area with symbols, and an arc created via d3.arc. The code uses d3.range, d3.scaleLinear, d3.line, d3.area, and d3.symbol to construct the visuals. The rendering approach uses SVG elements appended to the body via a chart factory function, with data generated programmatically from mathematical functions.

curve again.js Demo

This example shows an interactive SVG visualization of a smooth curve generated from a set of control points, with a dataset of historical figures plotted as points along the curve based on their birth dates. The visualization uses the D3.js v3 library with a custom SDCurve object implementing dynamic Levin-type subdivision for curve refinement. Users can drag control points to reshape the curve in real time, and the data points reposition accordingly, illustrating how the curve acts as a timeline mapping individuals’ birth dates to positions in two-dimensional space. The rendering is done via SVG circles and paths, with data loaded from a TSV file.
