A grid of 1,200 small colored squares, each assigned a position via inline CSS `transform` and a hue from `d3.hsl`, reacts to mouseover by flying to the center of the viewport. The selected square scales up and rotates 180 degrees using D3’s `transition().style("transform")`, which interpolates the CSS transform string, then shrinks and removes itself. Built with d3.v4 and `d3.range`, the animation leverages D3’s transform interpolation to smoothly tween translate, scale, and rotate values, while `raise()` brings the active square to the front.

Transform Transitions

A grid of colored squares animates in response to mouse hovers, demonstrating smooth interpolation between different 2D SVG transforms. Each rect transitions from its original translate to a combined translate, scale, and rotate, then shrinks and fades before being removed. The code uses d3.v3 transitions with `.attr("transform")` to leverage matrix decomposition, automatically decomposing transforms into canonical translate, rotate, scale, and skew components. The visualization is built with a data-joined SVG rect per grid cell, filled with HSL colors based on position, and rendered entirely through D3’s selection and transition APIs.

Transform Transitions

This visualization demonstrates smooth SVG transform transitions, where hovering over any square in a grid triggers an animated sequence that scales, rotates, and repositions it before fading it out. It uses D3 v3’s matrix decomposition to interpolate between arbitrary transform types, such as moving from a simple translate to a combined scale and rotate. The grid consists of 960 by 500 pixel area divided into 20-pixel cells, colored via HSL based on row and column position. Each cell listens for mouseover events, then chains transitions with delays to animate the transform and opacity changes.

Gist 00170d49e926de0c3a9a

A grid of small circles and hexagon-like arrangements of rounded orange rectangles animates in a staggered transition. The visualization generates a field of triangular tile motifs, where each tile contains three small circles and three rounded rectangles positioned at their edges. Initially, the rectangles and circles sit at the tile centers; after a delay, they rotate outward to the triangle’s midpoints. Using D3.js with SVG transitions, the code applies `translate` and `rotate` transforms to reposition elements, driven by trigonometric calculations for hexagon geometry. The rendering uses D3 selections and transitions, with data-bound groups and nested arrays to handle multiple coordinates.

Square Grid

This visualization displays a changing quantity as a grid of colored squares, where each square represents one unit, arranged so small rows of ten, groups of one hundred, and large rows of one thousand allow quick reading of exact counts by powers of ten. The count updates randomly, with squares animating in and out using `transition.attr("width", 0)` and `transition.delay` based on index. The SVG rendering uses `d3.select` and `d3.range` to manage the cells, and a `d3.interpolateNumber` tween animates the text label. The code uses the D3 v3 library and an interval timer to trigger updates.

Scale & translate

A short, looping D3.js v4 animation demonstrates the interplay of SVG transform operations. It starts with four circles, one red at (100,100) and three at the origin, and then sequentially applies `translate` and `scale` transforms via `transition()` calls. The example highlights how `scale()` scales the coordinate system, not just the element, showing that a subsequent `translate` must compensate for the scaling factor to maintain a desired position. The circles use SVG attributes and fill-opacity styling.

fresh block

A single red square animates through a sequence of 180- and 360-degree rotations using SVG transitions. The example demonstrates chained `transition()` calls with `duration` and `delay` to create a two-step spinning effect around a fixed center point. Built with D3.js v1 modules including `d3-transition`, `d3-selection`, and `d3-color`, the code directly manipulates the `transform` attribute on a `<rect>` element. The square starts at coordinates (100,100) and rotates in place without moving its position, showcasing how D3 handles attribute tweening for transform strings. No data source is used; the visualization is purely a geometric animation.

rect-spiral

An animated grid of squares repeatedly collapses to points and expands into colored rectangles against a dark background. Each cycle, a new set of squares appears, and the staggered delays create a cascading effect as they grow to full size. The code uses D3.js, lodash, and custom d3-starterkit helpers, appending `rect` elements to an SVG and animating their `width`, `height`, `x`, and `y` attributes via `transition()`. The grid positions are derived from dividing the viewport into a matrix, and each square’s fill color is randomly generated.

Squares ↔ Hexagons

This example demonstrates a smooth morphing animation between two regular plane tilings: initially square cells transition into taller, non-regular hexagons. A grid of points is shifted horizontally by a changing offset each frame, and a Voronoi diagram is computed from these points using `d3.geom.voronoi`, rendering the resulting polygons as SVG paths. The offset moves point columns alternately, causing the cell shapes to transform continuously. The code uses `d3.timer` for the animation loop, with 2-pixel circles marking each generator point.
