A visualization gallery shows 26 small canvas panels, each demonstrating a different Canvas globalCompositeOperation mode. Three static colored circles (red, blue, green) form the background, while a single yellow circle bounces around each panel using d3.v4’s data binding and requestAnimationFrame. Users can drag the moving circle with their mouse, pausing its animation. The code defines each circle’s initial position and velocity via JavaScript, then applies the composite operation from the `types` array to control how yellow blends with the background.

canvas circles

The visualization displays a grid of randomly colored circles that continuously appear and expand across the screen. It shows a generative animation where each frame introduces new circles at shuffled grid positions, growing from zero to full size before fading away. The code uses D3.js with SVG elements, leveraging transitions to animate circle radius and removal. Rendering depends on the d3-starterkit and d3-jetpack libraries for concise element creation and data binding. Colors are randomly generated RGB values applied to fill and stroke. The animation runs indefinitely via recursive setTimeout calls, creating an evolving, ever-changing mosaic of overlapping rings on a dark background.

Colorcomb

Four hundred particles drift and bounce across a full-screen canvas, their paths perturbed by random forces and velocity damping. A Voronoi tessellation of their positions is drawn twice: first as a thick black stroke for contrast, then each cell is stroked with a color derived from its centroid’s screen coordinates, converted through `d3.lab` and `d3.hcl` with a hue that rotates over time. The animation uses `d3-timer`, `d3-voronoi`, and Canvas 2D rendering.

Canvas Animation Using D3.js II

This example demonstrates an interactive canvas visualization using D3.js, where moving the mouse highlights circles that are generated and animated on a canvas. It uses an offscreen canvas with the same dimensions as the main one, rendered ahead of time, so that the code can detect hovered circles via `ctx.getImageData(mouseX, mouseY, 1, 1)`. The interface includes a dat.GUI control to adjust the circle count, which regenerates the data and redraws the canvas, alongside a stats.js monitor for rendering frequency. Clicking a button reveals the offscreen canvas as an image via `toDataURL()`.

rotating the circles

Three colored circles continuously rotate through a sequence of colors, shifting left and right in two separate animated containers. One container shows a set of three overlapping circles, while the other displays a single circle that cycles through green, blue, and orange. Using D3 v4’s data joins and transitions, each circle’s size, position, and z-index animate over 400 milliseconds, with the enter and exit selections resizing elements to create a smooth, circular rotation effect.

D3 Selections

Fifteen yellow circles animate in a sine-wave pattern across a black canvas, with their vertical position, radius, and opacity oscillating over time. The visualization demonstrates declarative selection and joins in d3 v7.8.5's `select`, `range`, and `.join` methods within a React framework, rendering SVG elements and updating them on a 100-millisecond interval using `setInterval`. The code manipulates circle attributes such as `cx`, `cy`, `r`, `fill`, and `opacity` directly through chained `.attr` calls.

canvas-squares

The visualization displays a grid of small squares that animate across the canvas in rhythmic waves. Using D3.js and the Canvas API, the code schedules repeated intervals that spawn rectangular shapes, which grow from thin lines into full squares while moving in alternating directions. Each square’s animation is driven by a custom timer that interpolates between start and end coordinates, with colors cycling through a palette of blues, purples, and greens. The effect creates a cascading, kinetic pattern across the full viewport, with random elements influencing which squares appear and how they stagger.

Circles with D3

This example shows a set of seven colorful circles scattered across an SVG canvas, each with a distinct size, position, and fill color at 70% opacity. It demonstrates core D3.js v7 concepts including data binding, the General Update Pattern, and method chaining via `select`, `selectAll`, `data`, and `join` to render `circle` elements. The visualization uses static, data-driven coordinates and colors defined in a JavaScript array, rendered through an HTML import map loading D3 from a CDN. The code also showcases the `join` API for creating SVG circles within a container sized to the viewport.

circle-lines

Nine circles arranged in a grid have points that orbit their centers, connected by lines between every pair of circles. The lines form a dynamic, web-like pattern that evolves over time. Built with D3.js, the visualization uses a canvas element with the `globalCompositeOperation` set to `xor` to create the intersecting line effects. An animation loop driven by `d3.timer` updates the positions of the orbiting points and redraws the connections, creating a continuously changing geometric composition.
