This simple line graph visualizes a small dataset of numeric date-value pairs loaded from a CSV file. It shows a single steel-blue polyline plotted against linear x and y axes, with five ticks per axis. The example uses d3.js v3 to parse the CSV, apply linear scales, and render the chart as SVG. It defines axes with d3.svg.axis and constructs the line path with d3.svg.line, demonstrating core D3 data-binding and scaling techniques for teaching purposes. The graph focuses on the essential structure of a D3 chart without additional interactivity or annotations.

AI-generated description

This is a simple line graph designed to allow investigation of aspects of using d3.js and is used as a teaching aid.

It is the baseline example graph used in the D3 Tips and Tricks book.

Edit: June 2014

I am going through a process of updating the code resources for the book and the latest (but not particularly different) example of this graph is here.

Simple Line Graph v6

A simple line graph plots daily closing values over time, with the y-axis scaled from zero to the data maximum and dates parsed using `d3.timeParse`. Rendered as an SVG, the chart uses `d3.scaleTime` and `d3.scaleLinear` for axes, while `d3.line` generates the steelblue path. The code loads a CSV file via `d3.csv` and displays the result with `d3.axisBottom` and `d3.axisLeft`, serving as a minimal D3 v6 template.

Most Basic Line chart

This example presents a basic line chart displaying a time series from a two-column CSV dataset. A single steelblue line traces the relationship between date and value over time. The chart is built using the D3.js library (v6), which handles CSV loading, date parsing, and the construction of a time-scaled X axis and linear Y axis. The line path is generated via `d3.line()` and rendered as an SVG element within a fixed 500x500 canvas.

Simple line graph in d3.js

This example shows a simple line graph plotting stock closing prices over time, with date values on the x-axis and price on the y-axis. The visualization uses D3.js version 3.5.17, employing `d3.time.scale` for the date range, `d3.scale.linear` for the value axis, and `d3.svg.line` to generate the path. Data is loaded from a local CSV file via `d3.csv`, with the axes created through `d3.svg.axis`. The SVG rendering includes styled axis lines and a steelblue line, providing a minimal teaching example for D3 chart construction.

Simple line graph with v4

A simple line graph shows the closing price of a dataset over time, with dates on the x-axis and values on the y-axis. Using d3.v4, the code loads a CSV file via `d3.csv`, parses dates with `d3.timeParse`, and constructs the line with `d3.line`. SVG scales and axes are built with `d3.scaleTime`, `d3.scaleLinear`, `d3.axisBottom`, and `d3.axisLeft`. The rendered SVG path displays a steelblue line, with margins and dimensions set explicitly.

simple line chart from dataset

This line chart visualizes a small dataset of monthly values, mapping dates on the x-axis and numeric values on the y-axis, with a steelblue stroke for the line. It also includes an interactive tooltip: moving the mouse over the chart reveals a focus circle and a label showing the price formatted as currency. The visualization uses D3 v3 with `d3.time.scale`, `d3.svg.line`, `d3.svg.axis`, and `d3.bisector` for mouse-based lookup. Data is loaded via `d3.tsv` from a local JSON file, and the rendering is SVG-based.

Simple Line Graph v5

A simple line graph displays daily closing prices over roughly six weeks, extracted from a CSV file with date and value columns. The visualization uses an SVG path rendered through D3 v5's `d3.line()` generator, with a time scale for the x-axis and a linear scale for the y-axis. Margins are set explicitly, and both axes are drawn using `d3.axisBottom()` and `d3.axisLeft()`. The date strings are parsed with `d3.timeParse()`, and the line is styled with a steelblue stroke.

Basic line chart

This basic line chart displays a time series of yearly values from a CSV file, with a single blue line tracing the data points. The visualization uses D3 v4 to parse the CSV columns, mapping the "year" field to a time-scaled x-axis and the "value" field to a linear y-axis. Axes are rendered with d3.axisBottom and d3.axisLeft, and the line path is drawn using d3.line with a stroke width of 2.5 pixels. The chart includes labeled axes and is designed as a reusable template, with customizable data file, column names, and labels in the script.

simple line chart from dataset

This line chart visualizes a small dataset with monthly values, displaying a black polyline and red translucent circles for each data point. The chart includes a time-based x-axis and a linear y-axis, with the last value printed in large text. The code loads data from “dataset.json” using `d3.json`, parses dates with `d3.timeParse`, and renders the chart with SVG shapes. Hovering over a circle triggers a dashed vertical line and a temporary value label, using D3’s selection and event handlers.
