A grid of small circles and hexagon-like arrangements of rounded orange rectangles animates in a staggered transition. The visualization generates a field of triangular tile motifs, where each tile contains three small circles and three rounded rectangles positioned at their edges. Initially, the rectangles and circles sit at the tile centers; after a delay, they rotate outward to the triangle’s midpoints. Using D3.js with SVG transitions, the code applies `translate` and `rotate` transforms to reposition elements, driven by trigonometric calculations for hexagon geometry. The rendering uses D3 selections and transitions, with data-bound groups and nested arrays to handle multiple coordinates.

canvas circles

The visualization displays a grid of randomly colored circles that continuously appear and expand across the screen. It shows a generative animation where each frame introduces new circles at shuffled grid positions, growing from zero to full size before fading away. The code uses D3.js with SVG elements, leveraging transitions to animate circle radius and removal. Rendering depends on the d3-starterkit and d3-jetpack libraries for concise element creation and data binding. Colors are randomly generated RGB values applied to fill and stroke. The animation runs indefinitely via recursive setTimeout calls, creating an evolving, ever-changing mosaic of overlapping rings on a dark background.

nyc-d3-live-code

This example demonstrates interactive SVG animations built with d3.v3. A row of circles oscillates vertically, first transitioning to a flat line, then responding to mouseover events with animated shifts in amplitude. A recursive rectangle-drawing function adds shrinking squares, and hovering over a rect triggers a d3.transition that randomly repositions it and changes its fill color. The sketch uses d3.select, d3.range, .transition(), and event listeners on SVG shapes.

A tweetable d3 animation

A single animated SVG visualization shows 100 circles arranged in a shifting radial pattern. The code uses a `d3.timer` loop to update circle positions, with each circle’s radius and angle computed via sine and cosine functions. The circles are drawn with D3’s `selectAll` and `data` join, appended to an SVG group element. Styling is minimal, with unfilled circles stroked in dark gray on a light background. The animation continuously couples each circle’s distance from the center to time, creating a pulsating, spiral-like effect.

D3 Visualization

This work recreates a Sol LeWitt-inspired generative drawing as an animated SVG. It shows a shifting field of circles whose positions and radii oscillate along a sine wave, creating a flowing, rhythmic pattern across the browser window. The animation is driven by `setInterval` updating a time variable, with the D3.js library’s `select`, `range`, and `join` operations building the circles dynamically each frame. Data is synthesized in `makeData.js`, while `vizData.js` handles the visual rendering.

Circles

A field of 1,000 small circles drifts randomly across an SVG canvas, wrapping around the edges when they exit the viewport. A text label in the corner displays a live frames-per-second counter. The animation uses `d3.timer` to update each circle's `cx` and `cy` attributes every frame, with positions stored in a data array generated from `d3.range(1000)` and `Math.random`. The code runs on D3 v3 and renders purely with SVG elements.

squares-around-circles

The animation shows a grid of small circles, each surrounded by four square outlines that continuously expand and rotate. The squares appear to “breathe,” pushing outward and then resetting in a cyclical loop, creating a pulsing, geometric pattern across the screen. The code uses D3.js with SVG paths, leveraging the `transition` and `attrTween` methods for smooth movement. Each square’s position and orientation are calculated from its center point and a side number, updated via functions like `pushLinesOut` and `pointToPath`. The data is generated procedurally, with no external dataset.
