This visualization demonstrates a histogram that undergoes iterative smoothing, transforming raw random data into a progressively blurred density curve. A canvas trail of rainbow-colored strokes reveals the histogram’s evolution over time, starting at blue and fading as new frames are drawn. The code uses D3 v4 APIs including `d3.range`, `d3.randomNormal`, `d3.histogram`, and `d3.area`, with rendering performed on two Canvas contexts via `getContext("2d")`. A `d3.timer` drives the animation, repeatedly applying a blur function that averages each bin’s density with its predecessor.

Histogram Smoothing

A histogram of 300 random normal samples, drawn as a smooth area chart on a Canvas, is repeatedly smoothed by a three-point moving average. Each animation frame applies one blur pass to the bin densities, causing the distribution to progressively flatten and widen toward a normal curve. The code uses d3.histogram to bin the data, d3.area with a Canvas context for rendering, and d3.timer to drive the animation, with colors cycling through hues via d3.hsl. The rainbow-like trail of strokes shows the smoothing progression over time.

Histogram Smoothing

This visualization demonstrates how repeated iterations of a moving average smooth a histogram of 300 random normal samples into a progressively flatter curve, approximating a Gaussian filter and kernel density estimation. The code uses d3.histogram to bin the data, d3.area to render the histogram on two stacked Canvas elements, and a d3.timer to animate the blur process at 30 FPS. Each frame, the `blur` function averages each bin’s density with its neighbors, while the foreground canvas redraws the area with a semi-transparent fill and the background canvas strokes the current curve with a hue that cycles through time.

Canvas Scatterplot

Two thousand normally distributed points render as a steelblue canvas scatterplot. The code generates data with d3.randomNormal, binds it to custom elements with a d3 data join, and draws the points using Canvas 2D context arcs. A d3.timer repeatedly calls the draw function for 300 milliseconds, clearing and repainting the canvas to animate the visualization. The example uses d3.v4, with linear scales mapping the domain from 2 to 8 onto a 1400 by 750 pixel canvas.

Histogram

This histogram visualizes the distribution of a dataset using interactive bars, rendered with React and D3. It shows the frequency of data points across numeric bins, with hover effects highlighting individual bars. The code uses `d3.histogram` to compute bin ranges and `d3.scaleLinear` for positioning, while SVG paths are generated via `d3.area` for the bar shapes. The chart dynamically updates based on user-selected bin counts, demonstrating a reusable React component pattern. The underlying data is random-generated, and the styling relies on plain CSS defined in the linked stylesheet.

Gist 6568151

A histogram displays a randomly generated Irwin–Hall distribution of 50 values, showing the count of scores binned into twenty uniform intervals. The chart uses D3’s histogram layout and linear scales to position bars, with axis ticks placed between bars to clarify bin boundaries. Bar counts are labeled above each rectangle, and mouseover events log the original data objects and associated names filtered from the source array. Rendered as SVG using d3.v2, the example demonstrates binning and interactive data binding.

Randomized Depth-First III

A spanning tree of the canvas is generated using randomized depth-first traversal and then flooded with color, where hue encodes Manhattan distance from the root. The animation runs in a web worker, with each frame painting new frontier cells via Canvas `putImageData` and `createImageData`. The visualization uses D3’s `d3.timer` and `d3.hsl` for color cycling, while the maze structure is built incrementally by shuffling frontier edges in the worker’s `generateMaze` function.

Canvas Scatterplot

This example renders 20,000 randomly generated points as a Canvas scatterplot, with x, y, and radius values sampled from normal distributions. It demonstrates a color-picking technique for interaction: a hidden canvas draws each point in a unique RGB color, and the visible canvas draws them in steelblue. On mousemove, the code calls Canvas `getImageData` on the hidden canvas to identify the point under the cursor, then displays a tooltip with its coordinates and radius. It uses d3.scaleLinear for axes and d3.timer for a brief animation loop.

Document

The visualization generates a random sequence of twenty charts, cycling through line charts, pie charts, and bar charts. Each line chart displays four smoothed monotone curves with colored dots, while the pie chart and bar chart render categorical and time-based data. Built with D3 v4, the code uses `d3.line`, `d3.arc`, and `d3.axisBottom`/`d3.axisLeft` to produce SVG output. Data is procedurally generated using `d3.randomUniform` and `d3.range`, with each chart styled via inline attributes and CSS classes.
