Five thousand random points are drawn in an SVG scatterplot. A draggable brush region highlights points inside it in red, and after the mouse is released, the brush smoothly animates back to its original position from the default extent. The example uses D3’s `d3.svg.brush`, `d3.geom.quadtree` for efficient point selection, and a transition on the brush call to animate the extent, interrupting any ongoing transition if the user interacts again.

AI-generated description

This example demonstrates brush transitions, a new feature in D3 3.3.

Try dragging the brush or selecting a new region. When you mouseup, the brush transitions smoothly back to its original position. The transition is initiated simply by applying the brush to a transition (rather than a selection), similar to automatic axis transitions. Note that interacting with the brush interrupts the current transition!

Brush Transitions

A scatterplot of 5,000 random points displays a red brush selection over a central region. Dragging or creating a new selection highlights points within the brush extent, while releasing the mouse triggers a smooth animated transition of the brush back to its original 100-by-100 pixel default position. The example demonstrates D3 3.3's brush transitions, implemented with `d3.svg.brush`, a quadtree for efficient point lookup, and `transition.call` to reapply brush extents during animation.

Brush Transitions

This example demonstrates brush transitions, a feature introduced in D3 3.3, where a rectangular brush automatically animates back to its default position after the user finishes dragging or selecting a new region. The visualization shows 5,000 random points with a brush overlay; as the brush moves, points within the current extent are highlighted red using a quadtree-based search. The code uses `d3.svg.brush`, `d3.geom.quadtree`, and `d3.scale.identity`, with SVG circles for rendering. Applying the brush to a `transition` (rather than a selection) smoothly returns the brush to its original extent, and interacting with the brush interrupts any ongoing transition.

Brush I

A brushable scatterplot displays 300 randomly generated points. A horizontal brush initially selects a range, highlighting points within it in red with a brown stroke. The example uses d3.brushX to define the brush and handles the brush event to update the selection state. Clicking re-centers the brush using a fixed width, demonstrating interactive selection on an SVG rendered with d3.scaleLinear and d3.axisBottom.

svg & canvas & brush

This example overlays a canvas-rendered scatterplot of 1,000 randomly generated points with an SVG layer containing axes and a d3.brush selection rectangle. The canvas continuously redraws each frame using `requestAnimationFrame`, highlighting points under the mouse cursor via `ctx.isPointInPath` and filling those inside the brush area. The SVG brush, configured with `d3.brush()`, updates the selection bounds, demonstrating a hybrid approach that combines canvas performance with SVG’s interactive brush capabilities.

Brush Handles

This example shows a scatterplot of 800 random points on a linear x-scale, with a draggable d3.brushX selection. Custom semicircular path handles are attached to the brush’s west and east edges, letting users resize the selection by dragging these visible arcs instead of the invisible brush boundary. The brushmoved handler updates the handle positions and highlights points inside the selected range. It uses d3.brushX, d3.axisBottom, d3.randomNormal, and d3.arc for the handle shapes, rendering to SVG.

The Brush

A line chart displays randomly generated data points, with a transparent red brush overlay that highlights a selected data point and its corresponding value label. Dragging the brush across the chart triggers the highlighting, which animates smoothly. Built with D3 v3, the visualization uses SVG rendering, `d3.svg.brush()` for selection, and `d3.svg.axis()` for gridlines and ticks, with all data generated randomly in the browser.

Brush & Zoom II

This example demonstrates how brushing a scatterplot with d3.brush zooms to the selected region, while double-clicking resets the view. The code generates 900 random points in three gaussian clusters, rendering them as colored circles and using a linear scale to map coordinates. The brush’s `end` event updates the x and y domains, then animates the axes and points via `transition`. A 350ms idle timeout distinguishes a brush clear from a double-click reset.

Brush Handles

This example shows an 800-point scatterplot with a draggable, visible brush handle range selection. The brush is rendered as two semi-circular handles on either side of the selection extent, which the user can drag to resize the range. The code extends `d3.brushX` with custom `path` elements and uses `d3.arc` to define their shapes. When the brush moves, a `brushmoved` function updates the handle positions and highlights the selected circles by toggling an "active" class, which changes their fill opacity.
