Rorschach effect and morphing using filter elements

An interactive button triggers a morphing Rorschach-like shape, with a red blob transitioning from a randomized scatter into a heart outline using d3.forceSimulation and an SVG filter that applies Gaussian blur and a color matrix for a gooey merging effect. The animation uses SVG circles bound to data points, animating their positions smoothly as the filter creates organic, fluid distortions. The code relies on d3.v4 for simulation and transitions, with the filter defined as an SVG `<filter>` element.

Gooey egde effect

Shifting circles confined within a hexagon produce a bold, gooey edge effect as they move and merge. The visualization applies an SVG filter chain—including `feGaussianBlur`, `feColorMatrix`, and `feConvolveMatrix`—to blur, threshold, and detect edges from the animated shapes. Built with D3 v4 and SVG, it uses a linear gradient fill and a clip path to constrain the motion, offering a dynamic exploration of filter-based visual styling.

SVG inline only Gooey Effect

The example demonstrates a gooey effect in SVG, where multiple pairs of circles merge and separate with a smooth, organic visual transition. A clickable button triggers transformations that animate the circles’ positions, while paired goop paths dynamically generate stretched, fluid-like connections based on the distances and radii of each circle pair. Built with D3 v4, the visualization uses custom functions `goopGen` and `goopTransform` to compute path geometries, along with SVG attributes and D3’s data-binding capabilities to render the interactive animation. The code defines three circle pairs with specified coordinates and keys, all rendered in a 100x100 viewBox.

Gooey Effect

Sixty purple circles animate between a regular grid and a clustered circle, creating a smooth gooey merging effect. The transition is driven by an SVG filter using `feGaussianBlur` and `feColorMatrix`, with the blur values tweened via `transition.attrTween`. D3 v4’s `d3.forceSimulation` handles the clustering physics, while staggered `transition` delays on circle positions emphasize the organic flow. The effect alternates between the two states on a loop.

Colour-full force

Twenty-eight colored circles drift across a black SVG canvas in a soft, gooey cluster. Each circle is assigned a rainbow hue and a random radius, with alternating circles receiving a blurred filter effect that makes them blend together. The motion is driven by D3’s `forceSimulation` with charge, center, and collision forces, while the rendering uses SVG circles and a `feGaussianBlur` with a `feColorMatrix` filter to create the liquid-like appearance.

Motion blur - Diagonal movement & Multiple filters

Fifteen circles radiate outward from a central point, each moving diagonally with a one-directional Gaussian blur filter applied via SVG’s `feGaussianBlur`. Clicking toggles the blur on and off, switching the title between “With” and “Without motion blur filter.” The code builds multiple `<filter>` elements, one per circle, and rotates each circle’s group so the blur aligns with its movement angle. It uses D3.js (v3) for data binding, SVG transforms, and event handling, with filters manipulated via `style("filter", ...)`.

D3 Workshop: Part 2 - SVGs and d3 Transitions

This interactive example demonstrates the incremental process of building and animating SVG shapes with D3.js. A button triggers a sequence that creates, moves, and recolors rectangles with smooth transitions. Using d3 v4, the code binds an array of color objects to SVG `rect` elements via `selectAll` and `.data()`, then applies `transition()` and `duration()` to animate their positions and fills. Static blue, red, and yellow shapes provide visual context while the dynamic data-driven rectangles demonstrate the enter, merge, and update pattern.

D3 Workshop: Part 2 - SVGs and d3 Transitions

This example demonstrates interactive D3 transitions on SVG shapes, starting with static blue, red, and yellow elements before a button triggers animated rectangles that move to random coordinates and change colors based on an array of six color objects. It uses d3 v4, including `selectAll`, `data`, `enter`, `merge`, and chained `transition()` calls with `.duration()`. The code binds data to newly appended rectangles, animating their x/y positions and fill colors, illustrating data joins and update patterns.

Arbitrary Visualization

Clicking on the canvas generates a cluster of blue-tinted, gradient-filled SVG shapes that grow, fade, and dissolve over time. Each click creates a new group of nodes connected by closed basis curves, which are then simulated through a force-directed layout using `d3.forceSimulation` with charge, collision, and Y-position forces. The nodes and links are drawn as SVG `path` elements, with a radial gradient fill and animated opacity transitions that remove each shape after a 60-second delay. The code uses d3 v4 and a custom `d3.line` with `curveBasisClosed` to define the bubble edges.
