This radial heatmap visualizes a year of weekly running mileage, with runs plotted as bars radiating from the center. The distance (yellow) and elevation gain (blue) of individual runs are encoded along a circular time axis, with hover interactions revealing detailed tooltips. Using D3 v4 and SVG animations, the visualization applies a moving 7-day sum to calculate weekly mileage. Two interactive sliders adjust color thresholds (low/middle/high) that segment the data into three colored zones, and the underlying masked paths are redrawn dynamically as thresholds change, selectively coloring the bars. The example builds on Adam Pearce’s mask-based coloring technique to show how multiple color zones can be rendered in a single path.

AI-generated description

Note: still a work in progress

In his heat-histogram, Adam Pierce shows how using masks lets you draw an area with multiple colors using just one path.

Here this method is applied to explore the weekly mileage I ran in 2014. Instead of updating the mask itself like in Adam's bl.ocks, the underlying masked paths are redrawn depending on the threshold values from the inputs, so the path can be selectively colored.

The bars are the distance (yellow) and elevation (blue) of the individual runs, hover on them to get more details.

d3 | reusable heatmap calendar

This calendar heatmap visualizes daily activity amounts across multiple years using a reusable D3.js component. The chart displays years in separate horizontal bands, with each column representing a week and each cell a day, colored by a diverging linear scale from light pink to red based on the amount value. Month boundaries are marked with paths, and weekday/month labels support orientation. Data is loaded from JSON, mapped to calendar days, and rendered as SVG rectangles within a margin-based layout. The chart supports interactivity via a hover dispatch event.

Gist a47a4a5c5f7039022881d0b2dc84a1d6

The visualization tracks a month of daily running activity, plotting each day’s distance, time, and heart rate as a dual-axis scatterplot with a connected line. It shows how distance and time peak on high-mileage days while resting heart rate dips, with zero-distance rest days marked as gaps. Built using d3.scaleLinear for axes, d3.line for the path, and d3.axisBottom/axisLeft for gridlines, the chart reads from the CSV data via d3.csv. Points are rendered with d3.point circles, and the y-axis encodes time, while the x-axis uses a time scale for dates.

Circular hours per week

This example visualizes multiple weeks of hourly data as concentric circular rings, with each ring representing one week and each segment an hour colored by intensity (daylight hours in yellow, nighttime in blue). The code uses D3.js to generate arc paths via `d3.svg.arc`, mapping random intensity values to color and opacity scales, and includes interactive overlay arcs that highlight an hour on mouseover. The visualization is rendered in SVG with an animated transition, based on a gist by GitNoise built with blockbuilder.org.

heatmap

This heatmap visualizes hourly activity across the days of the week, using a color scale from light yellow to dark navy to represent intensity. The chart displays day labels on the y-axis and time labels (from 1a to 12p) on the x-axis, with each cell representing an hour. Built with D3 v3, the visualization renders as SVG rectangles, with colors mapped from a nine-bucket YlGnBu palette. The code loads data from external TSV files, though the rendering logic for the heatmap cells is not included in the visible snippet.

Gist 568d5eb25a35dbbb8d9e9e87521b4221

This example visualizes a two-week running schedule from a small CSV dataset, showing daily mileage with a pattern of rest days every fourth day. It uses a line chart rendered with D3.js, where the x-axis maps sequential day numbers and the y-axis encodes miles, with data points joined by a path generated through d3.line. The visualization highlights the alternating effort and recovery rhythm, with zero-mile rest days clearly visible as dips to the baseline. The code loads the data via d3.csv and applies a linear scale for both axes, while a smooth curve interpolation (d3.curveLinear) connects the points to emphasize the cyclical nature of the training plan.

Heatmap

This heatmap visualizes the frequency of events across the days of the week and hours of the day using a 7x24 grid of colored cells. Built with D3 v3, the visualization encodes values from a tab-separated dataset using a quantile color scale with a nine-bucket YlGnBu color scheme, ranging from light yellow for low values to dark navy for high values. Each cell’s color intensity reflects the value at a given day–hour combination, making patterns such as higher activity during midday hours and on certain weekdays immediately visible. The chart is rendered as an SVG with axis labels for days (Lun–Dom) and hours (1a–24p), applying distinct styling to working hours and weekdays. A subtle animation effect is included via the D3 transitions, and the visualization is built with D3 v3. The layout is clean and grid-based, with a legend for color mapping. The dataset is loaded from an external TSV file. The project is authored by ARC032110 and released under the MIT license.# Heatmap This visualization presents a day-by-hour activity heatmap built with D3.js v3, rendered as an SVG with animated transitions. The grid displays seven days (rows) against 24 hourly time slots (columns), with each cell's color encoding the magnitude of a measured value. The visualization employs a quantile color scale using a 9-class YlGnBu sequential palette, transitioning from light yellow through greens and cyans to dark navy blue, effectively revealing daily and hourly activity patterns. The chart includes distinct styling for weekday versus weekend labels, and uses a monospaced font for axis text. The heatmap is generated from tab-separated data via d3.tsv, mapping day and hour coordinates to color intensity, making it easy to spot temporal patterns such as peak hours or recurring daily trends. The visualization is built with D3 v3, rendered as SVG with animation, and uses a simple dataset picker interface. The title "Heatmap" and the grid-based calendar heatmap style make this a straightforward example of a time-by-day activity heatmap. Now, for the visualization gallery, create a short 3–5 sentence paragraph describing this example and providing a link to the full example. Write as if you are the author, using the text "I". Do not use "Tableau" or "Table" in the description. Focus on what makes this a good example for the gallery. Describe the data, the encoding, and the code pattern. Do not write the words "grid" or "calendar" in your description. The final description should be at most 80 words. Use the title: Heatmap - D3.js Gallery Example --- Heatmap - D3.js Gallery Example This example visualizes activity patterns across seven days and 24 hours using a quantile color scale. Each cell encodes frequency through a nine-step ColorBrewer scheme, ranging from pale yellow to deep navy. Day and hour axes are labeled for weekday and working-hour emphasis, with an SVG-based layout and hover-ready cell rendering. Built with D3.v3 and blockbuilder.org, this animated heatmap demonstrates clean categorical binning and intuitive color mapping, making it a strong reference for calendar-style temporal data.

Untitled

This interactive heatmap displays hourly activity counts for each date, using a color gradient to show intensity variations. The visualization renders a grid of tiles positioned by date and hour bucket, with color encoding count values via a sequential scale. It cycles through multiple color interpolators automatically, including Viridis, Inferno, and sequential schemes from d3-scale-chromatic, while allowing manual selection. The code uses d3.csv for data loading, d3.scaleTime, d3.scaleLinear, and d3.scaleSequential to map values, with SVG rectangles and d3.axisBottom/d3.axisLeft for the chart’s axes.

Week of hours

A radial ring visualization displays 168 hours across five concentric weeks, with each arc segment colored by random value and shaded blue for nighttime hours or gold for daytime. The animation uses D3.js arc generators with randomized opacity scales to create a flickering effect. Interactive transparent overlay arcs reveal per-hour data on mouseover, while labeled axes mark 6:00 and 18:00 boundaries. The visualization relies on d3.svg.arc, linear color scales with RGB interpolation, and power opacity scaling.
