A particle traces the unit circle while projecting its x- and y-coordinates onto separate cosine and sine waveforms, revealing the trigonometric relationship between circular motion and sinusoidal waves. Using D3.js, the visualization samples the sine and cosine functions to generate the circle path and dynamically updates the wave lines as the particle moves. The code employs `d3.svg.line` for path generation and a linear scale to map sample indices to pixel positions, with a time-driven animation loop updating the particle and waveforms.

Sine Wave Circles

A grid of 30 circles animates vertically in a sine wave pattern, with each circle’s vertical position determined by its index and a continuously advancing time parameter. The D3 version of the Math Sine Wave P5.js example uses `d3.range` to create the circles, `d3.timer` to drive the animation loop, and SVG circle elements with `cx`, `cy`, and `r` attributes. The sine function from the JavaScript `Math` library calculates the y-coordinate, while a fixed frequency and viewport height shape the wave’s amplitude and period.

Circles Sine Wave Animation D3

Animated circles glide across the screen in a sine wave pattern, with each circle's position, size, and color shifting over time. The visualization uses D3 v7's `select`, `selectAll`, `range`, and `line` APIs to generate and update SVG elements on a 60fps interval. Circle color is derived from a dynamic HSL value based on the animation tick, while the number of circles oscillates between 1 and 35. The line generator draws a smooth path connecting the circles, creating a flowing sinusoidal curve.

sin wave and move

This example animates a set of 15 circles that move along a sine wave across the screen, with the wave’s phase shifting over time. Each circle’s y-position is computed from the sine of its index plus a time variable, updated every second using a `setInterval`. The visualization uses D3’s `select`, `range`, and data-join with `.join('circle')` to create and update SVG circles, while styling is handled by inline CSS attributes. The animation runs on an SVG canvas sized to the full browser window.

moving sine

This example shows 15 circles moving in a sine wave pattern across the screen, with their vertical positions oscillating smoothly over time. A static green square sits in the corner as a fixed reference point. Built with D3 version 7 and rendered as SVG, the animation updates every 1000/60 milliseconds using `setInterval`. Each circle’s y-coordinate is calculated as `250 - Math.sin(d * 0.5 + t) * 220`, and its radius varies via `Math.sin(d.i * t / 20)`. The visualization uses D3’s `select`, `range`, and `.join` API to manage the dynamic circle elements efficiently.

circle with Sine and cosine functions

A circle composed of fifty small colored dots traces a parametric path defined by sine and cosine functions, with vertical black lines connecting each dot to the horizontal axis. The visualization uses React to render SVG elements, mapping array indices to `Math.cos` and `Math.sin` values for positioning. Each circle’s fill color varies with its index and a random factor, demonstrating periodic motion and trigonometric relationships.

Sine Wave Circles

A grid of 30 circles animates in a sine wave pattern, with each circle’s vertical position oscillating over time to create a flowing, wavelike motion across the screen. The wave’s frequency and amplitude are driven by a time-based function, with circles shifting smoothly as the animation progresses. Built with D3 v7, the visualization uses an SVG container and selects all circles to update their `cy` attributes via D3’s `timer` and `range` APIs. The example is a direct port of a p5.js sine wave demonstration, rendered entirely with SVG elements.

animating data cleaner code

This example uses D3 v7 to create an animated, generative visualization of circles. It displays a dynamic sine-wave pattern where 10 to 15 circles move vertically and change radius over time, rendered as SVG elements on a full-window canvas. The animation runs at a 60 FPS interval, with each frame updating the `cx`, `cy`, and `r` attributes of the circles via `selectAll` and `.join`. The periodic motion is computed using `Math.sin` for both position and size, creating a smooth, evolving sine-wave composition.

Fork of Messing around with Sine Wave Circles

Four overlapping sine waves animate across the screen as rows of filled circles. Blue and crimson circles trace complementary sine and cosine paths, while smaller turquoise and orange circles follow similar curves with tighter spacing. The visualization uses D3 v7’s `d3.timer` to update each circle’s `cy` attribute based on a time offset, rendering 200 circles per wave in an SVG. It demonstrates periodic motion through D3’s data-join and selector methods.
