A grid of 19,200 small rectangles fills the canvas, each transitioning from steelblue to lightgreen while moving from the top-left corner to the bottom-right. The animation uses d3.v4 transitions with staggered delays based on each cell’s grid position. Rendering is handled by Canvas 2D API calls within a `requestAnimationFrame` loop, while a detached custom D3 selection manages the rectangle attributes without creating DOM elements.

d3 and canvas

This example demonstrates how to bind data to custom virtual elements and draw them to an HTML5 canvas using d3.v4. It renders a colorful grid of rectangles, where each cell’s size and fill style are animated via transitions. The code uses `d3.select` to append a canvas, `d3.range` to generate data, and `d3.scaleSequential` with `d3.interpolateSpectral` for color mapping. A `d3.timer` drives repeated canvas redraws, while the `draw()` function reads each custom element’s attributes (x, y, width, height, fillStyle) to paint the scene.

SVG Lots of Transitions

This example shows a grid of 19,200 small SVG rectangles that simultaneously reverse their positions and change color from steelblue to lightgreen over three seconds. The animation creates a sweeping wave effect as each rectangle’s transition delay is based on its original row and column index. The code uses D3 v4 with `selection.transition()`, `duration()`, and `delay()` to orchestrate the movement, while the SVG attributes `x`, `y`, `width`, and `height` define the grid layout. The data is generated with `d3.range()` and positioned using modular arithmetic.

d3 and canvas

D3 version 4 and the HTML5 Canvas API draw animated, colored grids of cells whose count is set by user input between 1 and 10,000. The code binds data to custom DOM elements, using transitions to animate cell size and fillStyle, then a d3.timer repeatedly invokes a draw function that clears and repaints the canvas. A d3.scaleSequential with d3.interpolateSpectral maps data values to colors.

canvas-squares

The visualization displays a grid of small squares that animate across the canvas in rhythmic waves. Using D3.js and the Canvas API, the code schedules repeated intervals that spawn rectangular shapes, which grow from thin lines into full squares while moving in alternating directions. Each square’s animation is driven by a custom timer that interpolates between start and end coordinates, with colors cycling through a palette of blues, purples, and greens. The effect creates a cascading, kinetic pattern across the full viewport, with random elements influencing which squares appear and how they stagger.

Canvas Animation Using D3.js

This example demonstrates how to apply D3.js’s enter-update-exit pattern and transitions to custom DOM elements, then render their positions and radii onto an HTML5 canvas. A dat.GUI control regenerates randomized circle data, triggering smooth positional and size animations on custom `<c>` nodes. A `MutationObserver` watches attribute changes on a custom element container and redraws the canvas whenever those animated attributes update, bridging the gap between D3’s DOM-centric data joins and canvas-based rendering. The code uses `d3.select`, `transition.attr`, and the Canvas 2D `arc` API.

Zoom Transitions

Animated grid lines on a canvas demonstrate D3’s zoom transitions, which smoothly pan and scale the view every five seconds to a new random location. The example uses `d3.behavior.zoom` with linear scales, and `transition.call` to invoke the zoom’s translate and event methods. Grid rendering relies on the Canvas 2D API, drawing vertical and horizontal lines based on the current domain, with line width scaling by zoom level.

Untitled

A grid of 4,002 small square divs cycles through a continuous color animation, shifting from light gray to steel blue, then to orange, and back to light gray. The page uses D3 v4 with `d3.interpolateRgb` for color transitions and `d3.active` to manage chained, repeating transitions with random delays. The example demonstrates modular JavaScript with ES6 imports, including a promise-based `getCars` function and data filtering from a JSON array, though the grid itself relies solely on D3's selection and transition methods.

canvas circles

The visualization displays a grid of randomly colored circles that continuously appear and expand across the screen. It shows a generative animation where each frame introduces new circles at shuffled grid positions, growing from zero to full size before fading away. The code uses D3.js with SVG elements, leveraging transitions to animate circle radius and removal. Rendering depends on the d3-starterkit and d3-jetpack libraries for concise element creation and data binding. Colors are randomly generated RGB values applied to fill and stroke. The animation runs indefinitely via recursive setTimeout calls, creating an evolving, ever-changing mosaic of overlapping rings on a dark background.
