The streamgraph displays a time series with 20 layers generated from random bump data, using the D3 stack and area components with a wiggle offset to create a flowing, organic shape. A button triggers a transition that interpolates between two different layer layouts over 2.5 seconds, using D3's path transition tweening to smoothly morph the area boundaries. Colors are assigned randomly from the interpolateCool color scale, and the visualization renders as SVG paths, with data generated from a custom bump algorithm inspired by Byron and Wattenberg.

AI-generated description

For continuous data such as time series, a streamgraph can be used in place of stacked bars. This example also demonstrates path transitions to interpolate between different layouts. Streamgraph algorithm, colors, and data generation inspired by Byron and Wattenberg.

Streamgraph

A streamgraph displays twenty stacked layers, each with two hundred samples, generated from synthetic data using a wiggle-offset stack. The visualization animates between two different datasets, smoothly transitioning the area paths over 2.5 seconds when the Update button is clicked. Built with d3.v4, it uses d3.stack, d3.area, and d3.scaleLinear, with a custom zoom that pans horizontally and a color scale from d3.interpolateCool. The random data is created via a bump function, and the rendering is pure SVG.

Streamgraph

A streamgraph displays twenty layers of synthetic time-series data, using a wiggle offset to minimize visual overlap. The graphic animates between two independently generated datasets, smoothly interpolating the stacked area paths over 2.5 seconds. Built with D3 v4, the example uses `d3.stack`, `d3.area`, `d3.scaleLinear`, and `d3.interpolateCool` for color. A button triggers the transition, re-binding the data and applying a transition on the `d` attribute of SVG path elements.

Streamgraph

A streamgraph displays 20 layers of synthetic time-series data, each rendered as a filled area with a smooth, wiggle-based baseline. The visualization alternates between two precomputed datasets when the "Update" button is clicked, triggering a six-second animated transition. The code uses the D3 v3 stack layout with the "wiggle" offset, an area generator, and linear scales for x, y, and color. Layers are vertically offset with a translate transform for added padding.

Streamgraph

This streamgraph visualizes multiple time series as smoothly stacked layers, with a button-triggered transition that interpolates between two randomly generated datasets. It uses d3.stack with the wiggle offset to create the baseline, while d3.area renders the filled paths and an animated transition (via .transition().duration(2500)) morphs the layers into a new layout. The code generates synthetic data with a custom bump function and applies the d3.interpolateCool color scale, all rendered as SVG. Zooming is also enabled through d3.zoom, and the entire chart updates in place when the user clicks the "Update" button.

Streamgraph

This example demonstrates a streamgraph with 20 layers and 200 samples per layer, where the layers smoothly transition between two different datasets when the "Update" button is clicked. The visualization uses color-coded stacked areas that wiggle and morph over a 1.5-second duration, with hover interactions fading non-target layers. Built with d3.v2, it relies on the `d3.layout.stack` with the "wiggle" offset, `d3.svg.area` for rendering paths, and `d3.interpolateRgb` for color generation. Data is procedurally generated via the `stream_layers` function, and rendering uses SVG with custom transitions.

Streamgraph

This streamgraph visualizes two synthetic datasets generated with a custom layer-stacking function, rendered as smooth, colored areas in SVG with D3 v2. Each stream can be toggled and faded by clicking or hovering on its tag in the legenda above the chart, where tag positions are computed using getBBox() to fit the graph width. The visualization supports smooth transitions between datasets and includes a button to switch between the two stacked layouts, with in-stream tags positioned heuristically to label each series. Styling uses a Google Font and interactive highlights, while the code comments note known browser quirks around font loading and transition interruptions.

Streamgraph

This streamgraph visualizes 20 synthetic data layers across 400 time samples, using the protovis library’s `pv.Layout.Stack` with an “inside-out” ordering and “wiggle” offset to minimize slope changes. The chart renders smooth, colored areas whose thickness reveals each layer’s magnitude, with data generated by a bump function in `stream.js`. The visualization adapts to the browser window size via `pv.Scale.linear`, and each area’s fill uses a random color ramp with semi-transparent strokes.

Simple stream + interpolation, layout offset & axes

This streamgraph uses D3’s stacked area layout to show changes in value across multiple categories over time, with a cardinal interpolation smoothing the layers. The chart offsets the layout to center the stream and includes both left and right y-axes as well as a bottom x-axis. Data is loaded from a CSV file (stream.csv) and grouped by a key field, with each series represented as a colored layer using a blue ordinal color scale from the ColorBrewer palette. The x-axis uses a time scale for dates, while the y-axis encodes the cumulative values of the stacked areas. The example highlights D3 v3's streamgraph capabilities with custom axes and layout offset handling.
