This example visualizes a classic “spinny” loading icon using D3.js version 3. It shows a rotating ring of ten small circles that continuously spin around the center of the screen. The circles are positioned using sine and cosine functions based on a linear angle scale, with their radii varying from larger to smaller around the ring. The animation is driven by `d3.timer`, which updates the rotation attribute of a group element each frame, incrementing the angle by a fixed amount. The visualization uses SVG for rendering and relies on D3’s data join to bind an array of numbers to the circles.

Fork of D3 spinner - 2

A circular loading spinner animation comprises ten evenly spaced blue dots arranged around a light blue SVG canvas. The dots rotate positions and vary their radius and opacity based on a rotating array of angles, creating a wave-like pulse effect. The code uses D3.js selection methods, including `data` joins with enter and update handling, alongside `d3.interval` to trigger periodic rotation of the dataset. All rendering is done via SVG, with parametric circle equations computing each dot’s coordinates.

D3 spinner

This example shows a minimalist loading spinner rendered as a single animated arc that rotates continuously around a circular track on a pale green background. The animation uses D3 transitions with a 20-second duration, where `transition.attrTween` interpolates the arc’s `endAngle` from 0 to 2π, and an `on("end")` callback restarts the spin indefinitely. The code builds the shape with `d3.arc()`, setting outer and inner radii relative to the container size, and positions it via an SVG `<g>` transform.

Spin on sphere

Eight animated table-tennis balls arranged in a four-by-two grid illustrate common spin types from the server’s perspective. Each sphere rotates continuously, with three mutually perpendicular great circles and a red marker showing the spin axis and direction. The visualization distinguishes topspin, backspin, sidespin, corkscrew, and their combinations based on rotation speeds. Built with D3 v3, it uses an orthographic projection (`d3.geo.orthographic`), graticule, and a `d3.timer` loop to update the paths in SVG. Spin values come from a CSV file.

Spinner with d3-component

This example demonstrates how to display a spinner while data is loading and replace it with a bar chart after a simulated fetch. It uses d3-component’s conditional rendering to switch between components, with a local timer driving the spinner’s rotation based on elapsed time. The visualization is rendered as SVG, using D3 transitions with a bounce ease to animate bar heights.

spinning-spiral

A spiral of white line segments rotates continuously, expanding and contracting as its radial offset shifts over time. The animation uses D3’s `d3.timer` to update an array of 480 points each frame, computing polar coordinates with `d3.scale.linear` for angle and distance, then rendering them as SVG `path` elements with `join('L')`. The code draws a single path whose data changes cyclically based on a sine wave, producing a smooth pulsing motion against a dark background.

star circle spin - canvas

Nine red stars orbit a central point on a 500-pixel Canvas, each tracing a circular path while collectively spinning as a group. Built with D3.js v4, the animation uses custom shape elements to store angular state, updating each star’s position every 5 milliseconds. The stars’ coordinates come from a hardcoded SVG path, scaled and offset dynamically per iteration, creating a smooth, rotating constellation effect.

A tweetable d3 animation

A single animated SVG visualization shows 100 circles arranged in a shifting radial pattern. The code uses a `d3.timer` loop to update circle positions, with each circle’s radius and angle computed via sine and cosine functions. The circles are drawn with D3’s `selectAll` and `data` join, appended to an SVG group element. Styling is minimal, with unfilled circles stroked in dark gray on a light background. The animation continuously couples each circle’s distance from the center to time, creating a pulsating, spiral-like effect.

Fork of Sine Wave Circles

A D3.js animation renders a field of 100 white circles that oscillate vertically in a sine wave pattern across a black SVG canvas. Each circle's vertical position is calculated using the sine of its horizontal index divided by five, plus a time-based increment from the `d3.timer` callback, producing a smooth, continuous wave motion. The circles are evenly distributed horizontally based on the SVG width and sized proportionally. The example, a port of the P5.js Math Sine Wave, demonstrates D3's core selection and attribute-updating APIs, leveraging SVG circles as the primary rendering primitive for the animated visualization.
