This example demonstrates how the D3 Margin Convention can be encapsulated as reusable functions using Model.js, with the SVG element and inner G element automatically resizing to fit the container. The code defines three separate functions—marginConvention, backgroundRect, and a clip rectangle—each managing its own dynamic behavior through Model.js property bindings. It renders a gray background rectangle and a clipped X pattern, with the visualization’s width and height derived from the container’s box dimensions minus the margin. The example uses D3.js for SVG manipulation and Model.js to coordinate reactive updates between the margin, box size, and inner element dimensions.

AI-generated description

This example shows one way to encapsulate the D3 Margin Convention using Model.js.

Check out the resize behavior in full screen mode.

More generally, this example is an experiment in how to generalize self-contained pieces of dynamic graphical behavior. Note that the following three pieces of this visualization are each implemented in separate functions:

  • The margin convention, which
    • resizes the SVG element by setting width and height
    • translates the G element by the margin top and left
    • assigns values to the model properties width and height, which represent the dimensions of the rectangle inside the margin.
  • The background X.
  • The clip rectangle, which will clip the corners of the background X to be within the rectangle inside the margin.

Margin Convention with ReactiveModel

This example demonstrates the Margin Convention pattern for SVG charts, where a gray rectangle represents the inner plotting area within configurable top, bottom, left, and right margins. It shows how margins respond dynamically both to browser resizing and to a continuous animation that varies each margin sinusoidally. Built on D3 v4 and the ReactiveModel library, the visualization uses reactive model declarations to update SVG attributes such as `width`, `height`, `transform`, and rectangle dimensions whenever their input variables change. The code appends an SVG via `d3.select` and uses `requestAnimationFrame` to drive the margin animation loop.

Axes with Model.js

This example demonstrates how to encapsulate the D3 Margin Convention using Model.js, with axes that respond to resizing. It shows three reusable functions—margin handling, background rectangles, and clip paths—each managing separate visual behavior. The code uses `d3.svg.axis()` for the x-axis, `d3.scale.linear()` for scaling, and Model.js’s `when` method to coordinate dynamic updates. The visualization renders sample data points in an SVG container, with the margin convention adjusting the inner plot area and axis positions on resize.

Margin Convention II with ReactiveModel

This example demonstrates the margin convention for data visualization, animating the margins of a gray rectangle within an SVG as they shift in sinusoidal patterns. It shows how reusable code modules—ReactiveSVG, ReactiveMargin, and GrayRectangle—are composed into a MarginVis component using the ReactiveModel library and its `call` method. The visualization uses D3 v4 to append SVG elements and drive the animation via `d3.timer`, while window resizing updates the chart dimensions through the `Resize` function.

D3 Margin Convention - forked from responsive starter

This example demonstrates the D3 margin convention, a reusable pattern for structuring SVG charts with explicit padding around the plotting area. A component function applies the margin to an SVG, translating a container `g` element and returning the computed inner dimensions. It then renders a single rounded rectangle that fills this inner space, resizing dynamically on window resize events. The code uses D3 v5’s selection methods, including `merge` for efficient updates, and a custom `marginConvention` helper for managing layout.

Responsive Margin Convention

This example shows a reusable pattern for building responsive visualizations that maintain consistent margins as the window resizes. It uses the `d3` library (v5) to render an SVG with a rounded rectangle that fills the available space within the specified margin. The `marginConvention` function translates a group element to the margin offset and calculates the inner dimensions, while the `index.js` file re-renders on window resize. The code demonstrates the classic D3 margin convention, using `d3.select` and SVG attributes like `width`, `height`, and `transform`.

Margin Convention

This example illustrates the margin convention for D3.js v3, visualizing the layout of an SVG chart with outer and inner padding rectangles. Dashed and solid outlines mark the chart area while arrows label the origin and padding offsets. The code defines margin and padding objects, then uses `d3.svg.axis()` to position bottom and right axes on translated `g` elements. SVG markers create arrowheads for dimension annotations, and `d3.scale.identity` maps pixel coordinates, demonstrating how margins simplify chart construction by separating layout concerns from scale ranges.

Margin Convention II with ReactiveModel

This example demonstrates responsive density-based linear axes using D3 v4 and the ReactiveModel library. It combines the margin convention with automatically computed tick counts based on the chart’s pixel dimensions, re-rendering smoothly as the browser resizes. The SVG chart fills the viewport, with a gray inner region and axes whose tick spacing adjusts dynamically. The code relies on ReactiveModel’s declarative reactive dependencies and d3.axisBottom, d3.axisLeft, and d3.scaleLinear for scale and axis management.

Margin Convention

A demonstration of the D3 margin convention for laying out SVG charts. The visualization shows nested rectangles and axis arrows with labels that clarify the positions of margins, padding, and the coordinate origin. The code uses `d3.select` to append an SVG, `d3.svg.axis` for the bottom and right axes, and `d3.scale.identity` for linear scaling. It explicitly defines `margin` and `padding` objects in JavaScript and translates a G element to establish the chart origin, rendering axes and annotations in SVG.
