This example showcases 27 sequential color scales, comparing those built into D3 v4 with those from the d3-scale-chromatic library. The visualization renders a full-width set of thin vertical bars, initially colored using the Inferno scale, with each bar’s fill mapped to its x-position via a `d3.scaleSequential` interpolator. Clicking a button above the chart triggers a transition that smoothly recolors the bars using the selected interpolator, such as Viridis, Blues, or YlGnBu. The interface uses SVG rectangles and D3’s transition API for animated updates, with the code leveraging `d3.range` and data-driven styling.

D3 Scale - ScaleSequential - Different Interpolators

This example demonstrates eight different D3 color interpolators applied to sequential scales, each rendered as a horizontal band of colored rectangles. The visualization shows how the viridis, inferno, magma, plasma, warm, cool, rainbow, and cubehelixDefault colormaps transition across a 0–100 domain, with each interpolator labeled above its corresponding row. The code uses `d3.scaleSequential()` with each interpolator to map data values to fill colors, while `d3.scaleLinear()` positions the rectangles along the x-axis. The SVG output is generated from range data via `d3.range()` and rendered with D3's data join pattern.

D3 4.0 Sequential Scales Explorer

This interactive heatmap visualizes a 2D histogram of date and value data, with cell colors encoding counts. A dropdown menu and auto-cycling animation let users switch among sequential color interpolators from D3 4.0’s `d3.scaleSequential` and the `d3-scale-chromatic` library, including Viridis, Inferno, and ColorBrewer schemes. Built with D3 4.0, it renders SVG rects and axes, loading data from a CSV file.

A6 - Color Scales in D3

This example demonstrates four distinct D3.js visualizations, each employing a different color scale type: a bar chart using a sequential color scale, a diverging bar chart with a diverging scale, a scatterplot with a qualitative scale, and a line chart. The code uses D3’s `scaleSequential`, `scaleDiverging`, and `scaleOrdinal` APIs to map data values to colors. Each chart is rendered using SVG elements created via D3’s `select` and `append` methods. The visualizations are embedded as standalone pages, with the bar chart and diverging chart showing categorical comparisons, while the scatterplot and line chart reveal patterns across continuous variables.

D3 4.0 Sequential Scales Explorer

This interactive D3 v4 heatmap displays a two-dimensional histogram of date and value buckets, with tile colors encoding count data. Users select from a menu of sequential color interpolators, including Viridis, Inferno, and colorbrewer schemes, to recolor the visualization. The chart updates dynamically using `d3.scaleSequential`, and an animation cycles through interpolators every second until manual selection. The SVG rendering includes axes, a color legend, and labels for the count, date, and value dimensions.

Sequential scale

This example visualizes a color scale applied to a series of circles along a horizontal axis, showing how a sequential color interpolator maps numeric values to colors. The circles are positioned using a linear scale, while their fill colors are determined by `d3.scaleSequential` with the `d3.interpolatePlasma` interpolator. The code uses D3 v4 to bind an array of data values to SVG circles, rendering them within an SVG container. The visualization demonstrates the smooth gradient transitions of the plasma color scheme across the range of input values.

Color Scale

A sequential color scale maps a simple array of integers 0 through 39 to the PiYG interpolator, producing a smooth purple-to-green gradient across a single row of rectangular swatches. The visualization, built with D3 v5, uses `d3.scalePoint` to position each rectangle along the x-axis and `d3.scaleSequential` with `d3.interpolatePiYG` to assign its fill. Each rectangle’s width equals the point scale’s `step()`, creating a contiguous band. The rendered SVG highlights how sequential color scales encode ordered data, with the gradient clearly representing the numeric progression from low to high values.

An Exmple for D3.scaleSequential

This example demonstrates how D3’s `scaleSequential` maps continuous numeric domains to color interpolators. It shows two rows of rectangles, each colored by a different sequential scale: one using `interpolateRdGy` and another using `interpolateReds`. The code uses `scaleSequential` with explicit domains and applies the resulting colors as SVG fill styles. A `scaleLinear` positions the rectangles horizontally, and black-outlined polygons mark a selected range. The visualization relies on D3 v5 and renders entirely as SVG.

Colors Interpolation

Three color interpolation scales demonstrate how D3.js v4 maps numeric domains to color ramps, rendered as rows of circles in SVG. The first scale interpolates from red to green using two stops, the second adds a middle yellow stop, and the third uses eight discrete stops for a finer gradient. Each scale employs `d3.scaleLinear` with the `d3.interpolateHcl` color interpolator, while the circles are generated programmatically from a simple data array. The example illustrates how interpolation choice and stop density affect perceived color transitions.
