A looping animation draws a thin white polyline across a black canvas, with each segment originating from the previous point and ending at a new point along a circular radius. The line gradually shifts its endpoint between two angular positions, creating a slowly evolving geometric pattern. The code uses a Canvas 2D context with a semi-transparent black fill rect for fading trails, and `setInterval` drives the animation while `d3.range` and `Math.cos`/`Math.sin` compute the circumference points.

SiLK

SiLK renders a continuously evolving, circular line drawing on a black canvas. A white curved path stretches from the center to a randomly selected point on the circumference, with each new segment appearing every 50 milliseconds. The drawing fades gradually as semi-transparent black rectangles overlay the previous frame, creating a persistent yet decaying trace. The visualization uses D3 v4 for canvas selection and color utilities, while all drawing happens directly through the Canvas `getContext('2d')` API, employing `quadraticCurveTo` for the curved strokes and `fillRect` for the fade effect.

SiLK

SiLK is a generative animation that continuously draws a single white line from the center of a black canvas to a point moving along a circle’s circumference. The line’s endpoint advances incrementally, creating an evolving, spirograph-like pattern that gradually fills the frame with faint afterimages, as each frame paints a low-opacity black rectangle over the previous content. Built with D3.js v4 and the Canvas API, the code uses `d3.select` to access the canvas context, `d3.range` to precompute angles, and a `setInterval` loop to drive the animation, with the skip value incrementing by a fractional amount each step to alter the path’s complexity. The rendering relies on `context.fillRect` for fading and `context.stroke` for line drawing, producing a hypnotic, ever-changing visual from a minimal algorithmic rule.

SiLK

On a black canvas, SiLK continuously draws animated white lightning-like bolts from left to right. Each bolt is a jagged polyline whose vertical position shifts randomly as it advances, creating the effect of a crackling electric current. The visualization uses D3 v4’s `d3.randomNormal` to generate the jitter and the Canvas 2D API for drawing and fading. A semi-transparent black fill rectangle is painted each frame, causing older strokes to gradually fade while new bolts appear, producing a persistent, dynamic trail.

SiLK

SiLK generates an endless sequence of glowing white lightning bolts that streak horizontally across a black canvas, each bolt departing from the vertical center and ending at a random height. The animation runs on a 50-millisecond timer, repeatedly drawing a new bolt while fading the previous frame with a translucent black fill using Canvas `fillRect`. The code builds each bolt as a jagged polyline by stepping across the width, adding random vertical offsets, and then correcting the endpoint drift, all rendered with the Canvas 2D `stroke` API within a D3 v4 setup.

slinky

A single white line repeatedly traces the outline of a circle, but its shape is continuously warped by a sinusoidal modulation that scales and rotates each point’s radial position. The animation cycles through several periods of this distortion, making the circle appear to coil and uncoil like a slinky. The code uses D3’s `d3.timer` to update a `path` element, computing new coordinates for 1,000 sample points via a transformation that multiplies the base circle’s x- and y-coordinates by cosine and sine of the angle multiplied by a time-varying factor. The rendering relies on an SVG `path` with a thick white stroke over a dark background, leveraging the lodash and d3-jetpack helper libraries for utilities and concise syntax.

sine-line

A full-screen SVG animation renders a horizontal line of 30 white circles that undulate vertically in a sine wave pattern. The circles’ y-positions are computed with `Math.sin`, incorporating the animation time from `d3.timer`. The code uses d3 selections, `d3.scaleLinear` for spacing, and lodash-style helpers, remaking a p5.js example in D3.

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.

spinning-spiral

A spiral of white line segments rotates continuously, expanding and contracting as its radial offset shifts over time. The animation uses D3’s `d3.timer` to update an array of 480 points each frame, computing polar coordinates with `d3.scale.linear` for angle and distance, then rendering them as SVG `path` elements with `join('L')`. The code draws a single path whose data changes cyclically based on a sine wave, producing a smooth pulsing motion against a dark background.
