This example combines histograms and violin plots to visualize gene expression distributions across multiple samples. The chart displays each gene as a rotated, mirrored histogram with a step-after interpolation, alongside a box plot showing quantiles and the mean. Built with D3 v3 and SVG, it uses `d3.scale.ordinal` and `d3.scale.linear` for axes, and `d3.quantile` for statistical summaries. The data comes from a JavaScript file containing sample expression values for each gene.

AI-generated description

This demo inspired by z-m-k, where I have make it as a reuseable modular and fix a trival statistics problem.
You guys can generate many effects with the interpolation attribut, while I think step-after is most appropriate interpolation from the statistics perspective.

Gist 6568151

A histogram displays a randomly generated Irwin–Hall distribution of 50 values, showing the count of scores binned into twenty uniform intervals. The chart uses D3’s histogram layout and linear scales to position bars, with axis ticks placed between bars to clarify bin boundaries. Bar counts are labeled above each rectangle, and mouseover events log the original data objects and associated names filtered from the source array. Rendered as SVG using d3.v2, the example demonstrates binning and interactive data binding.

Histogram

This histogram visualizes the distribution of a numeric variable, grouping observed values into discrete bins and displaying their frequencies as vertical bars. It uses the D3.js library, specifically leveraging `d3.histogram` and `d3.scale` APIs to compute bin ranges and map data to screen coordinates. The rendering relies on SVG paths generated from the binned counts, with axes and labels drawn via D3’s measurement and tick utilities. The dataset originates from a GitHub gist, and the code operates entirely in the browser without external data files.

Histogram Chart

This histogram chart visualizes the Irwin–Hall distribution by generating 10,000 random samples and grouping them into bins. Built with D3 v3, it employs the reusable chart module pattern, where a `histogramChart()` function configures scales, axes, and bars. The chart uses `d3.layout.histogram` for binning, an ordinal x-scale for bar positions, and an SVG rendering with a bottom axis. The code also demonstrates the use of `d3.rebind` to expose histogram properties and the x-axis tick format, while the parent script generates sample data via `Math.random`.

Histogram

This interactive histogram visualizes the distribution of one numeric variable using data loaded from a CSV file. Built with D3 v7, it renders bars as SVG rectangles, with the x-axis scaled linearly and the y-axis representing bin counts. The chart updates responsively on window resize, recalculating the histogram with 40 thresholds to accommodate the new width. Data is fetched from the `data_to_viz` GitHub repository.

Kernel Density Estimation to Violin Plot

This example starts with a histogram and kernel density estimation for the Old Faithful eruption wait times from R's faithful dataset, then morphs the density curve into a violin plot. The animation transitions the curve from a line into a mirrored area, scaling it to half height, and fades the histogram and axis. Built with D3 v3, it uses `d3.svg.area`, `d3.layout.histogram`, and `transition.attr` to animate the shape, demonstrating how a density estimate becomes a violin plot.

Untitled

A violin plot displays the distribution of sepal length for three Iris species, with each species represented by a mirrored density curve. The chart is rendered as an SVG using D3 v4, loading data from a CSV file. The code uses `d3.histogram` to bin values, `d3.nest` for grouping by species, and `d3.area` with `d3.curveCatmullRom` to draw the smoothed violin shapes. Axes are created with `d3.axisLeft` and `d3.axisBottom`, and a linear scale maps bin counts to widths.

test2

This example presents interactive boxplots for four data groups, allowing viewers to switch between linear and log10 scales and toggle individual columns. The boxplot elements—including IQR boxes, median lines, whiskers, and outlier points—are rendered as SVG shapes with animation. The visualization is built with D3 v5, using `d3.scaleLinear`, `d3.scaleBand`, and `d3.axisLeft` to compute and draw the statistical summaries. A tooltip appears on mouseover of the median line, while Bootstrap buttons and custom checkboxes manage the scale and column selections.

2d to 1d binned chart

This interactive visualization lets viewers collapse a two-dimensional scatterplot of nine colored circles into one-dimensional histograms along either the x-axis or y-axis, or retain the full 2D layout. Buttons trigger animated transitions where circles bounce into their respective bins, which are delimited by dashed reference lines. The code uses d3.v4’s SVG rendering, `d3.scaleQuantize` for positioning, and `d3.histogram` to bin data by chosen coordinates. A custom `transition` with `d3.easeBounceOut` and 500–750ms durations animates the morph, while `d3.scaleOrdinal` assigns distinct fill colors to each point.
