rect-wave

rect-spiral

An animated grid of squares repeatedly collapses to points and expands into colored rectangles against a dark background. Each cycle, a new set of squares appears, and the staggered delays create a cascading effect as they grow to full size. The code uses D3.js, lodash, and custom d3-starterkit helpers, appending `rect` elements to an SVG and animating their `width`, `height`, `x`, and `y` attributes via `transition()`. The grid positions are derived from dividing the viewport into a matrix, and each square’s fill color is randomly generated.

rect-blinds

The visualization shows a sequence of vertical rectangles that continuously slide and expand across the screen, each with a random color, creating an ever-shifting mosaic. The code uses D3.js and lodash to generate a set of rectangles with random widths, then animates their width and horizontal position using `transition.attr` for smooth movement. The rectangles are drawn with SVG `rect` elements inside a full-window `<svg>`, with each cycle restarting every six seconds. The animation relies on custom timing delays and durations tied to rectangle width, while colors are randomly generated as RGB strings.

canvas-squares

The visualization displays a grid of small squares that animate across the canvas in rhythmic waves. Using D3.js and the Canvas API, the code schedules repeated intervals that spawn rectangular shapes, which grow from thin lines into full squares while moving in alternating directions. Each square’s animation is driven by a custom timer that interpolates between start and end coordinates, with colors cycling through a palette of blues, purples, and greens. The effect creates a cascading, kinetic pattern across the full viewport, with random elements influencing which squares appear and how they stagger.

Simple rect

Animated SVG rectangles appear in horizontal rows and grow to random heights and colors at regular intervals, then shrink and disappear. The visualization uses the d3 library’s `select`, `transition`, and `range` APIs to manage the lifecycle of each rectangle. Data is generated procedurally with JavaScript’s `setInterval` and `Math.random`, creating a constantly updating bar-like chart. The code defines a reusable `timePlot` function that handles enter, update, and exit states for smooth transitions.

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.

Square Grid

A square grid visualization displays quantities from zero to 9,999 as a hundred-by-hundred matrix of small squares, grouped into rows and blocks to represent powers of ten. The animation randomly resets the target count, then uses `d3.select` and `d3.range` to update the `rect` elements via `.transition()` with staggered delays, while a text label interpolates its number using `d3.interpolateNumber` and a custom tween. The rendering uses SVG within a 960×990 canvas, with cell and group spacing computed from the available width.

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.

Square Grid

This visualization displays a changing quantity as a grid of colored squares, where each square represents one unit, arranged so small rows of ten, groups of one hundred, and large rows of one thousand allow quick reading of exact counts by powers of ten. The count updates randomly, with squares animating in and out using `transition.attr("width", 0)` and `transition.delay` based on index. The SVG rendering uses `d3.select` and `d3.range` to manage the cells, and a `d3.interpolateNumber` tween animates the text label. The code uses the D3 v3 library and an interval timer to trigger updates.
