The example shows a field of 100 translucent orange and pink circles of varying sizes, which drift in response to dragging and then ease back to their original positions after a few seconds. The offset follows the formula `t * (1-t) * velocity`, creating a smooth return animation. Using D3’s `drag` and the `d3-inertia` helper, the code tracks pointer movement through callbacks like `start`, `move`, and `end`, while a custom `render` function applies the positional offset to each circle. The SVG rendering uses D3 selections to update `cx` and `cy` attributes based on stored angles and velocities.

AI-generated description

A (not so) simple d3-inertia example.

The offset is t * (1-t) * velocity, which allows the drawing to come back to its original place after n seconds.

Drag circles

Five colored circles are positioned in a row on an 800×480 SVG canvas, each with a radius of 60 pixels. The example demonstrates a basic drag-and-drop interaction using D3.js v4, where users can move any circle freely by clicking and dragging it. The circles change cursor to a move icon on hover and gain a black outline while being dragged. The code uses `d3.drag()` with `dragstarted`, `dragged`, and `dragended` handlers, along with `d3.scaleOrdinal` and `d3.schemeCategory20` for coloring, and `d3.select(this).raise()` to bring the active circle to the front.

Circle Dragging I

This example shows a set of colored circles scattered across an SVG canvas, which users can drag with the mouse. Each circle’s position is stored as x and y properties in its data object, and those values update live during the drag. The code uses d3.select and d3.drag from the d3-drag module to handle the interaction, attaching event handlers for start, drag, and end. At drag start, the circle is raised to the foreground with `.raise()` and gets a black stroke via the `.active` class; the stroke is removed on release. The circles are rendered as SVG `<circle>` elements, colored with a categorical scheme from `d3.scaleOrdinal` and `d3.schemeCategory20`, with random initial positions computed from the SVG’s dimensions.

Click vs. Drag

Twenty colored circles start at random positions. Clicking a circle briefly inflates it to black and back, while dragging moves it to a new location. Using `d3.behavior.drag` with d3.v3, the example distinguishes the two gestures by checking `d3.event.defaultPrevented` in the click handler. The SVG rendering animates transitions for the inflation effect and reorders dragged elements to the front.

Multitouch Drag

Twenty colored circles move freely over a full-window SVG canvas. Each circle is draggable with a multitouch pointer, and its position updates live to follow the finger. The code uses `d3.behavior.drag` with `dragstart`, `drag`, and `dragend` handlers to manage interaction, while `d3.select` and `.transition().ease("elastic")` animate the radius from 32 to 48 pixels on grab and back on release. Random starting coordinates come from `d3.range(20).map()`.

Multitouch Drag II

Twenty colored divs drift across the browser window, each rendered as a circle via CSS border-radius and positioned using a CSS transform translate. Dragging a circle with a mouse or touch lifts it visually: it expands, gains a soft box-shadow, and uses an elastic ease during the size transition. The implementation uses D3 v3’s `d3.behavior.drag` for pointer handling, `d3.scale.category10` for colors, and `d3.interpolate` to animate box-shadow between drag states. Data is randomly generated from 20 coordinate pairs.

Click vs. (a great deal of) Drag(ging)

Twenty colored circles are rendered in an SVG, where each circle can be either clicked or dragged. A click triggers a two-step radius animation (expanding to 64, then shrinking back to 32), while dragging moves the circle and, once the drag exceeds a small threshold, brings the circle to the front using `raise()` and adds an active class. The example uses D3 v4’s `d3.drag()` with `.clickDistance(4)` to distinguish clicks from drags, alongside manual checks on `sourceEvent` coordinates to handle edge cases where the drag ends near the start point. Data is generated randomly as an array of 20 `{x, y}` objects, with colors assigned via `d3.scaleOrdinal` and `d3.schemeCategory20`.

Circle Dragging II

This example shows a canvas-based visualization where users can drag any of twenty randomly positioned circles. It uses the d3.drag module with a custom subject function for hit-testing, checking if the pointer falls within a circle’s radius. During a drag, the circle is reordered to the foreground, marked with a temporary stroke, and its position updates, triggering a redraw via render listeners. The implementation relies on D3 v4’s event handling, Canvas’s 2D context, and d3.scaleOrdinal with the schemeCategory20 palette for circle fill colors, producing smooth, interactive feedback.

Circle Dragging IV

This example demonstrates an improved method for dragging SVG circles, where the circle nearest to the pointer is selected for interaction rather than the topmost one. A Voronoi overlay, computed with `d3.voronoi`, is used for hit-testing, with its cells rendered as light-gray paths. Each circle is clipped to its corresponding Voronoi cell using a `clipPath`. During a drag, the `dragged` function updates the circle’s position and recalculates the Voronoi polygons. The code uses `d3.drag` for the interaction and `d3.scaleOrdinal` with `d3.schemeCategory20` for automatic circle colors.
