Using D3 to create and animate X3D - with x3dom

D3 selects and manipulates X3D scene elements to render and animate a 3D scatterplot with axes and random data points. The code uses d3 scales and transitions to move boxes to new positions every 2.5 seconds, while x3dom handles the WebGL rendering. D3’s namespace prefix registers the X3D tags, and the runtime’s showAll method adjusts the camera view.

x3dom in D3

This example combines D3.js with x3dom to render an interactive 3D scatterplot of 40 randomly generated points. Three coordinate axes are drawn using the custom `d3_x3dom_axis.x3domAxis` API, with colored lines for x, y, and z scales. A 3D scene is built by appending `x3d`, `scene`, and `viewpoint` elements, while points are plotted as spheres via appended `transform`, `shape`, and `sphere` elements. The code uses D3's `scaleLinear` for mapping data ranges and demonstrates direct DOM manipulation through D3 selections in an x3dom context.

d3 x3dom demo

This demo shows a set of steel-blue 3D boxes arranged in a row, whose heights change every 2.5 seconds based on random data. Built with d3.js and x3dom, it uses D3’s data join and transition methods to update each box’s translation and scale attributes, while x3dom renders the WebGL scene. A viewpoint defines the camera angle, and the `setInterval` function triggers new random data generation for continuous animation.

Simple X3D with D3

This example demonstrates a minimal X3D scene built directly through D3’s selection and namespace mechanism. It creates an empty X3D container with a 500‑pixel height and full width, then appends a scene and a single box shape. The code uses D3’s `d3.ns.prefix` to register the X3D namespace, enabling `x3d:x3d`, `x3d:scene`, and `x3d:shape` elements, while relying on the x3dom library to render the 3D object in the browser. No data is loaded; the visualization is purely structural.

D3 Scatterplot (Animations)

This D3 v3 scatterplot displays 15 randomly generated data points on an SVG canvas with linear scales and axes. The visualization highlights animated transitions: clicking the header text regenerates the dataset, updates the x and y scale domains, and smoothly transitions the circles to their new positions using D3’s `.transition()` method. The code uses `d3.svg.axis`, `d3.scale.linear`, and SVG circle elements, with random integer values generated in JavaScript.

d3.layout.force3d (a quick hack to get force layout into the third dimension)

A force-directed graph layout extends into three dimensions using X3DOM for rendering. The visualization builds a network of spheres connected by lines within a 3D coordinate system with labeled axes. The layout uses two chained d3.layout.force simulations: one handling X/Y positioning and a second managing the Z-axis. Nodes are added dynamically as colorful spheres, with edges forming between new and existing nodes. This implementation demonstrates combining D3's force simulation with X3DOM's declarative 3D scene graph for interactive network exploration in spatial depth.

D3 Scatterplot (Animations)

This D3 scatterplot demonstrates animated transitions between datasets. The visualization initially renders 15 random data points as circles, with x- and y-axes scaled to the data’s domain. When a user clicks the text header, new random data replaces the old, and the circles smoothly transition to their updated positions while the axes rescale accordingly. The code uses d3.svg.axis for the axes and d3.selectAll("circle").transition() to animate the updates, with scales from d3.scale.linear.

70. D3 Axes Dynamic

Clicking the text updates a scatterplot of 50 circles with new randomized data values. D3 version 4.5.0 is used to render the SVG, with d3.scaleLinear domains recomputed on each click and axes redrawn. The circles and axis lines transition over one second via d3.transition, showing how scales and axes rescale dynamically.

71. D3 On HTML

Clicking the text updates a scatterplot with new random data. The example shows how to use D3's `on()` method with `transition` to change circle styling at the start and end of the animation, turning circles magenta and larger during the transition before returning them to black. It uses `d3.scaleLinear`, `d3.axisBottom`, and `d3.axisLeft` to render axes, with circles drawn as SVG elements and transitions animating their positions over 1000 milliseconds.
