A line chart plots value against time with subsecond precision, using a time scale for the x-axis and a linear scale for the y-axis. The bottom axis displays ticks at fractional seconds, demonstrating correct behavior for millisecond-level time domains. Built with D3 v3, the example uses `d3.svg.axis` for tick generation, `d3.svg.line` for the path, and `d3.time.scale` for mapping dates. Data is loaded from a tab-separated file via `d3.tsv`, with timestamps converted from Unix seconds into JavaScript `Date` objects.

Date Ticks

This example demonstrates how D3’s time scale and axis API can animate date tick marks as the domain’s upper bound randomly shifts. A bottom-oriented SVG axis is created with `d3.time.scale` and `d3.svg.axis`, formatting tick labels as month/day strings. Every few seconds, `setInterval` triggers a transition that updates the axis domain to a new random date, smoothly redrawing the ticks and grid lines via `.transition().duration()`. The chart uses no external data, only a generated sequence of dates between January 2 and a random day in late January, with the axis centered vertically on a 960×500 SVG canvas.

Left-Aligned Ticks

A one-year time axis is rendered as a horizontal bar chart, with the gridlines extending downward and the tick labels left-aligned at the start of each year. The example uses D3 v3’s `d3.svg.axis` and `d3.time.scale` to generate the ticks, applying a `tickPadding(-2)` and adjusting the text `x` and anchor properties to shift labels right of the baseline. The SVG output contains a light gray rectangle for the plot area, white gridlines, and black tick marks.

first line chart

This example demonstrates a basic time-series line chart using D3.js version 4, plotting data points over a date range against numeric values. The visualization renders an SVG path with a thick orange stroke to represent the trend, while axes are drawn using D3’s `d3.axisBottom` and `d3.axisLeft`. The code loads tab-separated data via `d3.tsv` from an external URL, parses dates with `d3.timeParse`, and maps values using `d3.scaleTime` and `d3.scaleLinear`. The line is generated with `d3.line`, and the chart is positioned within a configured margin. The data source is a static TSV file, and the rendering is fully SVG-based.

Left-Aligned Ticks

This example shows a bottom-oriented time axis where tick labels are left-aligned instead of centered, placing each label to the right of its tick mark. The code uses a d3.time.scale with an extended domain and range, adding one month on each side to reserve space, and d3.svg.axis with the “bottom” orient. After rendering, a post-selection targets all text elements and sets x and y offsets with text-anchor “start” to shift the labels. The visualization renders as SVG with d3.v3.

Tick Format

This example compares three ways to format tick labels on linear axes, each rendered as an SVG axis via `d3.axisLeft`. The left axis uses `scale.tickFormat` with an SI-prefix type (`"s"`), producing a consistent prefix across all ticks. The middle axis applies `d3.format(".0s")` directly, causing variable precision and prefix per label. The right axis uses `d3.formatPrefix(".1", 1e6)` to enforce a fixed mega-prefix, demonstrating manual control over SI formatting. The three axes share the same domain from -1e6 to 2e6.

Line Time 2

The chart displays a stepped line tracing a time series of monthly values from a CSV file, with data points highlighted by large circles. The visualization renders to an SVG element, using D3 v7’s `scalePoint`, `scaleLinear`, `line`, and `curveStep` APIs to construct the path, alongside `axisBottom` and `axisLeft` for the axes. Data is loaded via `csv`, sorted by date, and mapped onto the scales with a 0.5 padding factor. A title text element sits above the plotting area.

Fork of D3 Scale - ScaleTime

This example demonstrates how D3’s `scaleTime()` maps dates to x-coordinates along a linear time axis. It plots four circles at quarterly intervals between January 2016 and January 2017, positioning them at y=200 while labeling each with its full date string. The visualization uses an SVG canvas, with data bound via D3’s selection join (`selectAll().data().join()`). The scale’s domain spans one year, and its range runs from x=60 to x=900, making temporal spacing explicit. The code imports `scaleTime` from D3’s scales module.

Custom Time Format

This example demonstrates a custom multi-scale time format for a D3 axis, showing how tick labels adapt to different time granularities—displaying milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, days, and months as the scale zooms. It uses `d3.time.format.multi` to define an array of format/filter pairs, applied via `d3.svg.axis`. The code generates an SVG chart with a single year-long domain, rendering tick labels dynamically based on the date’s precision. The data source is the current date, and the rendering relies on D3 v3’s SVG axis API.
