A contour plot displays animated isolines of a mathematical function, with colors shifting through a red-blue diverging scale as the threshold values change over time. The visualization computes a grid of sine-based values, then uses d3-contour to generate contour geometries at varying thresholds. d3.geoPath draws these shapes onto a Canvas element, while d3.scaleSequential and d3.interpolateRdBu map contour values to colors. A d3.timer drives the animation, continuously updating the thresholds to create the moving contour bands.

Contour Plot

A contour plot visualizes the volcano dataset from R, showing elevation values through filled isolines. The map uses a sequential color scale with a custom terrain interpolation, transitioning from green to yellow to white across the elevation range. Implemented with d3-contour and rendered as SVG paths, the code applies d3.geoPath with a geoIdentity projection to scale the contours, while d3.hsv and d3.interpolateHsvLong define the color transitions for the 5-unit threshold intervals.

Contour Plot II

This example visualizes the Goldstein-Price test function using a grid of 240 by 125 sampled values, displayed as a series of 20 logarithmic contour thresholds. The contours are rendered as filled SVG paths with a blue-green-yellow color scale. The code uses `d3.contours` to compute the isolines and `d3.geoPath` with `d3.geoIdentity` to project them, while `d3.scaleLog` and `d3.interpolateYlGnBu` define the color mapping. The data is generated procedurally from the mathematical function.

Contour Plot II

This example visualizes the Goldstein–Price function, a common test function for optimization, as a set of 20 logarithmic contour levels. The contours are drawn with SVG paths, each filled with a color from the YlGnBu interpolated color scale to indicate value. The underlying grid of 240×125 values is computed by sampling the function across its domain. The code uses `d3.contours` to generate the contour geometry, `d3.geoPath` with `d3.geoIdentity().scale()` to project the coordinates to the SVG canvas, and a `d3.scaleLog` for threshold mapping.

Cloud Contours

A single magenta contour line endlessly traces the boundary of cloud cover over a NASA Earth Observations satellite image of global cloud fraction. The contour threshold animates smoothly over a five-second cycle, creating a pulsing effect that highlights different cloud-density regions. The code loads a monochrome PNG, blurs it with the StackBlur algorithm, and reads pixel values via Canvas `getImageData` to generate contour data with `d3.contours`. A `d3.timer` drives the animation, while `d3.geoPath` and a `d3.geoIdentity` projection render the vector outline onto the canvas.

Contour Test using Jason Davis implementation with D3

This visualization demonstrates contour generation on a 20×10 grid of numeric values using the Conrec algorithm, ported to D3. The scalar field is encoded as a series of filled contour polygons, each mapped to a distinct level between -5 and 3. A linear color scale interpolates from white to red, with semi-transparent fills and black strokes delineating the contours. The data is rendered into an SVG using D3's line generator, with spatial scaling applied to map the grid coordinates onto a 500×500 pixel canvas. The example showcases how D3 can work alongside external contouring libraries to produce smooth isolines directly in the browser.

Old Faithful Contour Plot

A contour plot visualizes the density of eruption data from the Old Faithful dataset, with continuous green-shaded regions representing higher concentrations of points. The visualization uses d3.contourDensity to compute density estimates and d3.geoPath for rendering the resulting contours as SVG paths. Axes and labels are drawn using d3.axisBottom and d3.axisLeft, while a sequential color scale with d3.interpolateGreens maps density values to fills. The interactive example updates the contour bandwidth dynamically as the mouse moves across the page.

GeoTIFF Contours

This example visualizes surface temperature data from a GeoTIFF file as twenty colored contour bands over a map-like SVG view. It reads the raster values with the GeoTIFF library, computes contours using `d3.contours` with smoothing disabled, and renders them as filled paths via `d3.geoPath`. A sequential color scale with `d3.interpolateMagma` maps each contour’s value to its fill color, producing a vivid elevation-style temperature gradient across the geographic extent.

Contour

A contour map visualizes temperature change across U.S. climate divisions, with colored contour bands overlaid on state boundaries. The visualization uses d3.geoVoronoi to assign grid points to climate divisions, d3.contourDensity to generate contours from weighted point data, and d3.geoPath with an AlbersUSA projection to render geographic features. Temperature values from a CSV file drive contour density, while a diverging color scale maps contour thresholds.
