This example displays an area chart of stock closing prices over time, with a titled axis and a line overlay. The visualization uses D3 v5 to render SVG shapes, including a shaded area path and a stroked line, while the main title is drawn twice to create a drop-shadow effect. The first text element uses a white stroke and opacity to simulate the shadow, and a second text element is placed on top. Data is loaded from a CSV file and parsed with `d3.timeParse`, with scales and axes created using `d3.scaleTime`, `d3.scaleLinear`, and `d3.axisBottom`/`d3.axisLeft`.

AI-generated description

This is a simple graph demonstrating the addition of text with a drop shadow in conjunction with an area graph. This was written using d3.js v5 and is a follow on to the graph example here.

This graph is part of the code samples for the update to the book D3 Tips and Tricks to version 5 of d3.js.

Drop shadow on text in v4

This example shows a line and area chart of stock closing prices over time, with a title that includes a drop shadow effect. The chart uses a semi-transparent white stroke behind the main text to create the shadow, with the title duplicated in two text elements. The data is loaded from a CSV file and parsed with `d3.timeParse`, while the chart elements are built using `d3.area`, `d3.line`, and the axis functions `d3.axisBottom` and `d3.axisLeft`, all rendered as SVG.

Drop shadow on text in v7

This example shows a time-series area chart of stock closing prices, with a prominent title that appears twice to create a drop shadow effect. The chart uses d3.csv to load the data, d3.timeParse for date formatting, and d3.scaleTime and d3.scaleLinear to set the scales. The area and line paths are built with d3.area and d3.line, while axes are generated via d3.axisBottom and d3.axisLeft. The shadow is achieved by rendering the title text twice: first with a white stroke and reduced opacity, then overlaid by the solid text.

Drop shadow on text in v6

This chart displays a time series of stock closing prices over a month, rendered as both a light blue area graph and a steel-blue line. A title with a white drop-shadow effect is created by duplicating the text element, with the underlying copy styled using a thick white stroke. The visualization uses d3.js v6, leveraging `d3.csv`, `d3.scaleTime`, `d3.area`, `d3.line`, and `d3.axisBottom`/`d3.axisLeft` to build the SVG output from the CSV data.

Simple graph with filled area in v5

This example shows a time series line graph with a filled area beneath it, displaying stock close prices over a month. The chart uses D3 v5 with SVG rendering, where the area is generated by the `d3.area` API and the line by `d3.line`. Data is loaded from a CSV file and parsed with `d3.timeParse`. Axes are added using `d3.axisBottom` and `d3.axisLeft`, with scales defined via `d3.scaleTime` and `d3.scaleLinear`.

Axis Labels in v5

This example displays a line graph of stock closing prices over time, annotated with "Date" and "Value" axis labels. Built with D3 v5, it uses `d3.timeParse`, `d3.scaleTime`, `d3.line`, and `d3.axisBottom`/`d3.axisLeft` to render an SVG path and axes from a CSV dataset. The labels are added as SVG text elements positioned using margin and dimension calculations, demonstrating custom axis labeling in D3 v5.

Area graph with gradient in v5

This example shows a time-series area chart of stock closing prices with a multi-color gradient that shifts from red through black to green based on the y-axis value. The area fills beneath the line, while the x-axis uses time scaling and the y-axis uses linear scaling. Built with D3 v5, it loads data from a CSV file and renders as SVG. The gradient is defined using an SVG `linearGradient` with `userSpaceOnUse` units, created via D3’s selection and data-join methods, and applied to a path generated with `d3.area`. Axis helpers `d3.axisBottom` and `d3.axisLeft` add the scales.

Scatterplot with v5

This example shows a time-series line graph of stock closing prices, with circular scatterplot points overlaid on each data value. The visualization uses a steelblue line and dark circles to highlight individual daily observations across the date range. Built with d3 v5 and rendered as SVG, the code employs `d3.csv` to load the data, `d3.timeParse` for date formatting, and `d3.line` for the path, while `d3.scaleTime` and `d3.scaleLinear` handle the axes. The scatterplot points are appended as SVG circles positioned via the same x and y scales.

Line graph with gradient in v5

A line graph displays stock close prices over time, with the line colored by a vertical gradient that shifts from red to black to green based on the y-axis value. The example uses d3.csv to load date and close data, d3.timeParse for date formatting, and d3.scaleTime/scaleLinear for axes. A linearGradient element with multiple stop offsets is applied via the stroke URL reference, while d3.line generates the path and d3.axisBottom/axisLeft render the scales. The SVG output is built entirely with D3 v5.
