This example shows a time-series line chart of stock closing prices, with the x-axis labels rotated to prevent overlap. The SVG visualization uses D3 v3 to parse dates from a CSV file and map them to a time scale, while a linear scale maps the price values. Axis text is formatted with a custom tick format and rotated using D3’s `selection.attr` with a transform string. The line path is generated via `d3.svg.line`, and both axes are built with `d3.svg.axis`.

AI-generated description

This is a follow on from the simple d3.js graph used as an example in the book D3 Tips and Tricks.

It demonstrates the rotation of the x axis text along with the formatting of that text in a non-standard manner. It should be taken in context with the text of the book which can be downloaded for free from Leanpub.

Rotated axis labels in v6

This example shows a line graph of stock closing prices over time, with the x-axis labels rotated at a steep angle to prevent overlap. The chart is rendered as an SVG, built with d3.v6’s scaleTime, scaleLinear, and d3.line for the path, while d3.axisBottom and d3.axisLeft generate the axes. After drawing the bottom axis, the code selects its text elements and applies a rotate(-65) transform along with adjusted text anchoring. The data comes from the included data.csv file, parsed using d3.timeParse.

Rotated axis labels in v4

This example shows a simple line chart of stock closing prices over time, with the x-axis labels rotated at a steep angle to prevent overlap. The graph uses d3.csv to load the date and close value pairs from data.csv, then renders the line with d3.line and scales using d3.scaleTime and d3.scaleLinear. After drawing the axes with d3.axisBottom and d3.axisLeft, it applies a rotation transform of -65 degrees to the tick text, along with adjusted text anchoring, to make the dates readable.

Rotated axis labels in v5

A line chart displays stock closing prices over time, with the x-axis labels rotated at a steep angle to prevent overlap. The visualization uses d3.csv to load date and price data, then maps dates with d3.scaleTime and values with d3.scaleLinear. The line path is drawn via d3.line, while d3.axisBottom and d3.axisLeft generate the axes. Rotated labels are styled by selecting axis text elements and applying a transform of rotate(-65) with adjusted text-anchor and offsets. The SVG rendering approach follows d3 v5 patterns.

Rotated axis labels in v7

A line chart shows stock closing prices over time, with the x-axis labels rotated to avoid overlap. The chart is built with d3.js v7, using `d3.line`, `d3.scaleTime`, and `d3.scaleLinear` for the axes. Data comes from a CSV file and is rendered as an SVG path. The axis text is styled via CSS and rotated using the `transform` attribute.

Formatted time labels for an axis with v4

This example shows a simple line chart of stock closing prices over time, using formatted and rotated date labels on the x-axis. The visualization is built with d3.v4 and rendered as an SVG. It parses dates from a CSV file using `d3.timeParse` and `d3.timeFormat`, applies the axis with `d3.axisBottom` and rotated tick text, and draws the line with a `d3.line` generator. The code follows the structure of a basic d3 line graph, with margins, scales, and data mapping defined explicitly.

Formatted time labels for an axis with v7

This example shows a line graph of stock closing prices over time. The x-axis displays formatted date labels (year-month-day) that are rotated 65 degrees to prevent overlap. The chart is built with D3 v7, using `d3.csv` to load date and close data from a CSV file, `d3.scaleTime` and `d3.scaleLinear` for the axes, and a line generator for the path. The `d3.axisBottom` tick format and rotation are applied to the SVG text elements.

Axis Labels in v6

This example shows a line chart of stock closing prices over time, with clear axis labels for both the x- and y-axes. The visualization uses d3.csv to load date and close values from a CSV file, then d3.scaleTime and d3.scaleLinear to map the data to SVG coordinates. The line is drawn with d3.line, and the axes are rendered using d3.axisBottom and d3.axisLeft. The code adds rotated text for the y-axis label and horizontally centered text for the x-axis label, demonstrating how to annotate axes in d3 v6.

Axis Labels in v7

This example shows a line chart of stock closing prices over time, with clearly labeled x and y axes. The chart uses d3.line to generate the path, d3.scaleTime and d3.scaleLinear for the scales, and d3.axisBottom and d3.axisLeft to render the ticks. Axis labels are added as SVG text elements, with the y-axis label rotated using an SVG transform. Data is loaded from a CSV file and parsed with d3.timeParse, with the visualization rendered as SVG inside a single group element.
