This visualization displays a categorized timeline of wars involving the United States during its first 100 years, using data from Wikipedia. Events are grouped into five distinct lanes—colonial, native, internal, European, and Latin American conflicts—each rendered as horizontal bars within its own row. The example uses the d3.timeline layout from the d3.layout.timeline plugin, with D3 v4’s scaleOrdinal for color mapping and d3.csv to load the data. Rectangles are positioned and sized based on the timeline’s computed start and end coordinates, with each category separated vertically.

AI-generated description

An example of d3.layout.timeline that shows wars the United States has been involved in during its first 100 years (from Wikipedia). Events have been categorized and rendered in separate lanes for colonial wars, native wars, internal wars, wars involving European powers, and wars in Latin America.

Categorized Timeline Using Dates

This example shows US military conflicts from 1776 to 1876, divided into separate horizontal lanes by category: colonial, Native, European, Latin American, and internal wars. Each event is drawn as a rectangle positioned along a shared date scale, with overlapping events automatically stacked within each lane. The visualization uses the d3.layout.timeline plugin to compute lane assignments and band positions, while d3.scale.ordinal maps conflict categories to a fixed color palette. Data comes from a CSV file listing each war’s start and end dates and its sphere of influence.

Categorized Timeline Using Dates

This example demonstrates a categorized timeline using the d3.layout.timeline plugin, displaying events grouped into four distinct lanes (PROD, INT, DEV, SBX) based on their sphere attribute. The visualization uses an SVG rendering with a color scale mapping each category to a distinct color, and the timeline layout automatically assigns rows to overlapping date ranges within each category. The data shown comes from a CSV of deployment events, and the timeline is filtered to a specific date range. The example highlights how d3.layout.timeline can organize categorical temporal data into swimlanes while maintaining clear visual separation between groups.

Timeline

This timeline displays yearly data from 2008 to 2020, showing the number of lines and the ratio of non-NA values as colored bars. The visualization uses a linear scale for both axes, with bars colored from red to green based on the ratio, and includes an interactive tooltip that reveals exact values on hover. Rendered as an SVG animation, the example loads D3 via UNPKG and imports functions like `scaleLinear`, `axisBottom`, and `axisLeft` from the D3 module, with data provided inline as an array of objects.

Timeline

This example presents an interactive timeline visualization of temporal data, showing the start and end times for multiple entities (such as people) as horizontal bars. Users can zoom and navigate through the time range using provided controls. The visualization is built with D3.js v5, using SVG for rendering and the `scaleTime` and `scaleOrdinal` APIs for time scaling and color assignment. A dropdown menu, created with a custom D3 component, allows users to filter data, while the timeline supports stacked rows and time axis navigation.

Timelines Chart

This timelines chart shows multiple parallel time-series, grouped into distinct sections, with each segment colored to represent a value. The visualization supports both heatmap-style continuous coloring and categorical qualitative coloring. Users can explore the data by zooming and panning, or scrubbing through a timeline brush at the bottom. The example uses the `timelines-chart` D3 component, populating it with randomly generated data via the `getRandomData` function, which constructs groups, labels, and time ranges.

Timelines Chart

This example demonstrates a swimlane-style timelines chart for visualizing multiple time-series groups, where each line is divided into colored segments. Segments are colored using a continuous heatmap scale or, in this instance, a categorical ordinal scale, with randomly generated labels from A to Z. The visualization arranges time-series into six distinct groups and allows interactive exploration through zooming and a brushable timeline at the bottom. Built with the `TimelinesChart()` D3 component from the `timelines-chart` library, it processes randomly generated data produced by the `getRandomData` function in `random-data.js`.
