This polar plot visualizes the function 1 + cos(t) over the domain [0, 2π], with the result drawn as a red line. The chart uses a radial grid with dashed circular axes and angular tick labels in degrees. Built with D3 v4, the code employs `d3.radialLine` to generate the curve and `d3.scaleLinear` to map data values to radial distances. The SVG rendering includes axis circles, rotated angle labels, and radial grid lines, following an adaptation of Mike Bostock’s original polar plot example.

AI-generated description

This is a variation of Mike Bostock's Polar Plot using D3 v4. In this example, the radial line generator is used to draw the red line and to plot the function 1 + cos(t) over the domain [0,2π].

Polar Plot

A polar plot traces the parametric function sin(2t)cos(2t) as a red line on a circular coordinate grid, with radial circles and 30° angular ticks labeled from 0° to 330°. The visualization uses D3 v3’s `d3.svg.line.radial` for the curve, mapping the function’s time parameter to angle and its value to radius; angular positions are negated and offset by π/2 to align counterclockwise from 3 o’clock, differing from D3’s default clockwise-from-12 orientation. The SVG output includes axes, dashed grid lines, and a solid outermost circle, all styled via CSS classes.

Polar plot

This polar plot visualizes the parametric function sin(2t)cos(2t) as a red line on a circular grid. The plot uses a custom angular orientation, proceeding counterclockwise from 3 o'clock, which differs from D3's default clockwise radial direction starting at 12 o'clock. The code leverages `d3.svg.line.radial` to draw the line, with a linear scale mapping data values to radii. It also constructs radial and angular axes using SVG groups, circles, and lines, with a dashed style for the grid.

Polar Clock II

A polar clock displays the current time across six concentric rings, each representing a time unit from years to seconds. Every ring contains a colored arc and label that rotate and update as time progresses, using a rainbow color scale to encode the fraction of each interval elapsed. The visualization is rendered with D3 v4’s SVG and animation facilities, using `d3.arc` for the ring segments, `d3.timeFormat` and time intervals for labels, and `d3.timer` to drive continuous updates.

Polar Clock II

The Polar Clock II visualization displays the current time as a set of six concentric rings, each representing a time unit from seconds to year, with colored arcs and labels showing the progression within each period. The code uses D3 v4, SVG, and a timer to repeatedly update the visualization, with `d3.arc` generating the curved bodies and text paths for each field. It relies on `d3.timeFormat` and date intervals like `d3.timeDay` to calculate angles and label values, while the `d3.scaleRainbow` color scale maps each angle to a hue.

Polar Clock

This polar clock visualizes time as six nested, colored arcs, each representing seconds, minutes, hours, days, dates, and months, with the arc length proportional to the current value. The SVG updates every second with an elastic transition, using `d3.svg.arc` for curved shapes, `attrTween` to interpolate arc angles, and a linear color scale to map each value to a hue. The code, built with D3 v3, tracks the current date via a `fields()` function and respects the `document.hidden` property to pause animation when the tab is inactive.

Polar Clock III

A polar clock visualizes time through a series of six concentric rings, each representing a progressively shorter time unit from years to seconds. The outermost rings track years and months, while inner rings display weeks, days, hours, and minutes. Each ring contains colored tick marks for sub-units and a rotating arm that sweeps through them, with the active tick highlighted. Built with d3.v4, the animation uses `d3.timeInterval` for time arithmetic, `d3.arc` for arm geometry, and `d3.scaleRainbow` for color mapping, updating every second via CSS transitions.

Radial Scatter Plot

This radial scatter plot displays wind speed and direction data as colored points arranged in a circular layout around a central axis. Each dot represents an observation, with its angular position indicating wind direction and radial distance encoding value magnitude. Using d3.svg.line.radial for coordinate transformation, the visualization places circles via SVG transforms while d3.scale.linear maps values to radius. The code imports d3-scale-radial.js and d3.scale.category20 for point coloring, rendering a polar coordinate system with concentric grid circles and directional tick marks against a clean white background.

Line / Area Chart

This example shows a Cartesian line and area chart plotting two trigonometric functions, sine and cosine, against a shared linear x-axis. A purple line represents sine, while a semi-transparent green area represents cosine, with gridlines spanning the plot area. The visualization uses d3fc’s `chartSvgCartesian` to build the chart, while `seriesSvgLine`, `seriesSvgArea`, and `annotationSvgGridline` are combined via `seriesSvgMulti` for rendering. Data is generated inline with `d3.range`, and the x- and y-domains are calculated using `fc.extentLinear` with padding applied to the y-scale.
