An animated triangle on a canvas trembles and morphs as it fills with shifting, warm-colored bands. The rendering uses a D3 v4 timer loop to drive the shape’s jitter, with the triangle’s edges recursively subdivided to create fractal depth. Each frame, the canvas is cleared, and ten offset triangle paths are drawn in sequence with semi-transparent fills, producing a shimmering, layered effect. The code employs `d3.randomNormal`, `d3.scaleLinear`, `d3.interpolateWarm`, and the Canvas 2D API to generate the motion and color.

AI-generated description

Similar to this shaky triangle but with a different offsetting technique.

Spiral Triangle II

Three rotating triangles made of small squares converge in the center, with each square cycling through a smooth cubehelix color palette. The animation uses multiple `d3.timer` callbacks to update square positions and rotations, while `d3.scale.cubehelix` maps time-based domain values to color. Sixty squares per triangle move horizontally and spin at a constant angular speed, clipped to two regions that divide the SVG canvas. The code relies on D3 v3 selection methods and SVG transforms to coordinate the layered motion.

A Animated I

A monochrome animated letterform materializes on a black canvas as a dense field of tiny triangles, all converging and diverging along diagonal paths. The composition splits into two mirrored halves, with particles crossing the center line to form a tall, angular "I" shape before dispersing. Built with D3.js and rendered on a 2D canvas, the animation uses a custom `d3.timer` loop and the Canvas API’s `globalCompositeOperation` for additive blending, while triangle positions are updated via simple velocity and boundary-reflection logic. The data consists of randomly generated triangle coordinates, with colors cycling between cyan and magenta based on movement direction.

d3 | 1 triangle repeated

This visualization arranges 45 identical triangles in a circular pattern, each rotated by 10 degrees around the center of an SVG canvas, creating a complex, gear-like mandala from a simple repeated shape. The code defines triangle vertices as coordinate pairs and uses D3 v4’s data join with `d3.range` to generate groups, appending a path per triangle via `append('path')` and the `datum` method. A slider input lets users adjust the number of triangles from 1 to 50, triggering a re-render with updated rotations, while all strokes use a semi-transparent yellow against a dark background.

Spiral Triangle

A mesmerizing, topologically impossible animation shows a spiral of black-stroked white squares rotating and translating within two triangular clipping regions. The piece recreates a GIF by PATAKK, using an SVG scene with upper and lower clip paths. The code uses d3.v3’s `d3.selectAll`, `d3.range`, and `d3.timer` to drive square transforms, while each square’s position and rotation are computed from a normalized index and elapsed time.

Spiral Triangle III

A grid of 71 small cross-shaped symbols rotates in a spiral pattern around a triangle, with colors shifting through a cubehelix scale. The animation is clipped into upper and lower regions of the SVG canvas, and each symbol moves outward while rotating at a constant angular speed. The code uses D3 v3's `d3.timer` for animation, `d3.svg.symbol` for cross paths, and a custom `d3.scale.cubehelix` with three HSL stops to interpolate fill colors over time.

Delaunay Circles II

A field of points connected by Delaunay triangles animates in a loop, with each triangle’s interior filled by a circle whose radius grows until it touches the triangle’s edges. The canvas redraws every frame, shifting point positions via a time-based function to continually recompute the triangular mesh and its inscribed circles. The visualization uses the `d3-voronoi` library for the Delaunay triangulation and draws directly to a 2D Canvas via JavaScript, with animation driven by a simple time step and no external data source.

Triangle Rotate

A triangle rotates in place against a backdrop of horizontal gridlines, using a looping animation to create a continuous spinning effect. The visualization is built with D3 v5 and SVG, leveraging D3 transitions and the `transition.attr` method to apply incremental rotations to a group element. Static horizontal lines and a red reference point highlight the triangle's pivot, while the code structure separates translation and rotation groups for clarity. The animation runs indefinitely by recursively calling the animate function upon transition completion.

Chained Transitions

Fifty circles, each representing a discrete ordinal value, form a vertical column on the left edge of a 960 by 500 pixel canvas. The animation shows the circles moving horizontally back and forth, creating a chained, wave-like effect as each circle starts its journey after the previous one completes a traversal. The d3.js library (version 2.9.1) drives the motion, using a custom `slide` function to schedule `transition()` calls per circle, with each transition's duration dynamically calculated from the `Date.now()` timestamps to create the sequential delay. The source code is a single HTML file from a gist, with circles styled via CSS.
