This example illustrates that `d3.selectAll(...).transition()` creates multiple independent transitions, each running on its own schedule. It uses D3 v3.5.5 to animate circles and visualizes the lifecycle of scheduled, starting, running, ending, and stopped transitions with graphical markers. The code demonstrates named transitions to run multiple concurrent animations on the same elements and uses `transition().delay()` and `transition().duration()` to control timing. User interaction via radio buttons drives the staged explanation.

AI-generated description

I hope this sequel will help you to understand how a d3-transition works, specifically when it is applied on multiple elements.

The main objective of this sequel is to illustrate that:

  • selectAll(...).transition() defines several transitions
  • each transition runs independantly

This sequel also illustrates:

  • the use of transition().delay(...), transition().duration()
  • the lifecycle of a transition (scheduled/starting/running/ending/stopped)

This sequel uses D3 v3.5.5.

If you look at the code, you will see that:
  • I use named transition in order to run several transition on the same element
  • I stop running transitions by overriding the adequate named transitions

D3.selectAll(...).transition() Explained

This visualization explains D3 transitions by animating seven circles, each representing an independently scheduled transition. Using D3 v3, it demonstrates how `selectAll(...).transition()` creates multiple, independent transitions, and how `delay()`, `duration()`, and named transitions manage their lifecycle. The example visualizes each transition’s schedule with graphical “head,” “body,” and “tail” markers, along with labeled start and end times, and includes controls to play or rewind stages, showing how transitions can be interrupted and overridden.

D3 Transitions

This animation demonstrates D3’s transition system by staging six colored circles that grow from a radius of zero to their target sizes, with each circle entering on a staggered 200-millisecond delay. After the initial enter transition, the circles remain static; the code uses `d3.selectAll` to bind data by `id`, then applies `d3.transition` with `.duration(2000)`, `.delay`, and `.attr` tweening to animate the `r` attribute. The example uses D3 v7 and relies on the `select`, `transition`, and `easeLinear` imports, with a light green SVG background and hardcoded circle positions and fills.

D3: Using each() to specify two transitions in sequence

Clicking the paragraph triggers a chained animation in a D3 v4 scatterplot of 50 random data points. The example demonstrates `transition.each()` to apply two sequential transitions: first, circles grow in radius and change to semi-transparent steelblue over one second, then they shrink back and regain full opacity. Axes rescale simultaneously using `d3.axisBottom` and `d3.axisLeft` with updated linear scales. This SVG-based visualization shows how to coordinate multi-stage updates on a single selection.

Transition Options

Two circles sit side by side in separate SVGs, demonstrating how D3 transitions can move elements either sequentially or simultaneously. The example shows the difference between chaining transitions on separate selections versus applying a single transition to all circles at once, with buttons to trigger position changes and color cycling. Built with D3 v4, it uses `d3.select`, `transition()`, `delay()`, `on("start", repeat)`, and `d3.active()` to orchestrate animation loops. The rendering is SVG-based, and the code uses Bootstrap for button styling. No external data is loaded; the visualization relies purely on programmatic animation of hardcoded circle positions and fills.

D3 Transitions

This animation demonstrates D3 transitions by showing six colored circles that fade in with staggered delays and varying final radii, then respond to updates by moving between positions. The visualization uses d3-transition with two distinct timing configurations—a slow transition for enter and exit phases and a fast linear ease for updates. Data binding via `selection.join()` maps circle elements to an array of objects containing position, size, and color properties, with opacity set to 0.708 and a light green background.

D3 - Transitions

This example demonstrates three ways D3.js handles data updates with transitions. The top SVG updates circles without animation, the middle uses a simple transition to move circles smoothly, and the bottom shows an enter-update-exit pattern where new circles fade in, existing circles move, and removed circles fall downward and disappear. A button click regenerates random data values. The code uses D3 v7 selections, the `.join()` method, and `.transition()` with a duration of 1000ms, all rendered as SVG circles with fill opacity.

D3 Transitions

D3 Transitions demonstrates animated circle transitions using D3 version 7. The visualization renders six fixed-position circles that grow from radius zero to their target sizes over two seconds, with staggered delays, then rapidly move between hardcoded coordinates using a 500-millisecond linear ease. The code uses `select`, `transition`, and `easeLinear` from `d3`, applying data joins with explicit enter, update, and exit handlers. Enter animations expand circles, updates reposition them, and exits shrink them before removal, all within a light green SVG backdrop.

D3 Transitions

Six colored circles float over a pale blue background as D3 transitions animate them into view. Each circle scales from radius zero to its full size with staggered delays, then repositions itself at new coordinates using a faster linear ease. The example uses `selection.join()` to manage enter and update states, applying `transition()` with explicit durations and `easeLinear` to control the motion. Data is defined inline in JavaScript, rendered as SVG circles with distinct fills and 0.667 opacity.
