This example demonstrates monotone interpolation, a curve-fitting method that produces a smooth line through a series of points without overshooting the local data range. Six yearly data points from 2001 to 2006 are plotted as white circles with steelblue outlines on a chart with time-scaled X and linear Y axes. The code uses D3 v3’s `d3.svg.line` with the `"monotone"` interpolator to generate the SVG path, while `d3.time.scale` and `d3.scale.linear` handle the axes. The chart is rendered as an SVG element with axis and line classes styled via CSS.

Line Interpolation

This example demonstrates a custom line interpolation method in D3 v3 that connects data points with elliptical arcs instead of straight line segments. The visualization plots 20 generated data points on a scatterplot with axes, drawing a smooth arc between each consecutive point using SVG path commands. The custom interpolator is implemented by overriding d3.svg.line’s interpolate function to join coordinates with the "A 1,1 0 0 1" arc segment syntax, while the line’s x and y accessors map the data through linear scales. Circles mark each original data point, rendered with SVG.

Fork of d3NoobV5 Reusable Examples - Line Types Chart

This example demonstrates eight different D3 line interpolation curves—linear, step, basis, cardinal, monotone, and Catmull-Rom—plotted together on a single time-series chart using stock close prices from a CSV file. Each curve is rendered as a distinct colored SVG path with a corresponding legend, and the chart includes axes, labels, and a title. Built with d3.v5, the code uses reusable chart patterns to organize scales, axes, and data binding, and it animates the drawing of the lines and data points.

d3NoobV5 Reusable Examples ## - Line Types Chart

This example shows a time-series chart comparing eight different line interpolation methods from D3.js, including `d3.curveLinear`, `d3.curveStep`, `d3.curveBasis`, and `d3.curveMonotoneX`. Each curve is drawn as a separate SVG path using the same stock price dataset, with a legend labeling each curve type. Users can click a legend item to toggle the visibility of its corresponding line via opacity transitions. The chart uses `d3.scaleTime` and `d3.scaleLinear` for axes, `d3.line`, and `d3.csv` to load the data.

d3NoobV5 Reusable Examples - Line Types Chart

This example demonstrates eight different D3 curve interpolation methods applied to a line chart of stock data, with each curve type rendered in a distinct color. The visualization compares curves such as linear, step, basis, cardinal, monotoneX, and Catmull-Rom, showing how each affects the visual smoothness and shape of the line. The code uses d3.axisBottom, d3.axisLeft, and d3.line with the corresponding d3.curve functions, while the data comes from a CSV file with date and closing price values. A static area fill is also included beneath the lines.

v4 curve interpolation comparison

This example compares eight D3 v4 curve interpolation functions—including linear, step, basis, cardinal, monotone, and Catmull-Rom variants—by rendering each as a separate line over the same time-series dataset of stock closing prices. The SVG chart includes a clickable legend that toggles the visibility of each curve with a 100-millisecond transition, while the underlying data points remain visible as scatterplot circles. The code builds paths using `d3.line()`, scales time and value axes with `d3.scaleTime()` and `d3.scaleLinear()`, and loads data from a CSV file via `d3.csv()`.

Fork of Fork of d3NoobV5 Reusable Examples - Line Types Chart

This example compares eight D3 line interpolation methods—curveLinear, curveStep, curveStepBefore, curveStepAfter, curveBasis, curveCardinal, curveMonotoneX, and curveCatmullRom—by rendering the same financial time series with each. Using d3.axisBottom and d3.axisLeft, it draws axes on an SVG while overlaying green and orange reference lines from the same dataset. The reusable chart pattern, based on Mike Bostock’s “Towards Reusable Charts” and the Pro D3 structure, animates the lines via D3 v5 transitions. Data comes from a CSV file with date and close prices.

v6 curve interpolation comparison

This example compares eight D3 v6 curve interpolation methods—including `curveLinear`, `curveStep`, `curveBasis`, and `curveCatmullRom`—by rendering them as SVG lines over the same time-series dataset of stock closing prices. A scatterplot of the raw data points provides a visual reference for each curve’s fitting behavior. The color-coded legend labels are clickable, toggling line visibility via opacity transitions. The code builds the chart with `d3.line`, `d3.scaleTime`, `d3.scaleLinear`, and `d3.axisBottom`/`axisLeft`, reading the data from a CSV file.

v5 curve interpolation comparison

This visualization compares eight D3 v5 curve interpolation methods by rendering the same time-series dataset (Apple stock prices from April and May 2012) as distinct colored lines. Each curve—including curveLinear, curveStep, curveBasis, and curveCardinal—is drawn as an SVG path with a shared date-time x-axis and linear y-axis, plus an overlaid scatterplot of the original data points. Clicking a legend label toggles the corresponding line’s opacity with a 100-millisecond transition. The code uses d3.line(), d3.scaleTime(), d3.scaleOrdinal(), color legend, and d3.axisBottom/Left.
