A polar clock displays the current time across six concentric rings, each representing a time unit from years to seconds. Every ring contains a colored arc and label that rotate and update as time progresses, using a rainbow color scale to encode the fraction of each interval elapsed. The visualization is rendered with D3 v4’s SVG and animation facilities, using `d3.arc` for the ring segments, `d3.timeFormat` and time intervals for labels, and `d3.timer` to drive continuous updates.

A variation of a polar clock, inspired by a Flash screensaver by pixelbreaker.

Polar Clock II

The Polar Clock II visualization displays the current time as a set of six concentric rings, each representing a time unit from seconds to year, with colored arcs and labels showing the progression within each period. The code uses D3 v4, SVG, and a timer to repeatedly update the visualization, with `d3.arc` generating the curved bodies and text paths for each field. It relies on `d3.timeFormat` and date intervals like `d3.timeDay` to calculate angles and label values, while the `d3.scaleRainbow` color scale maps each angle to a hue.

Polar Clock III

A polar clock visualizes time through a series of six concentric rings, each representing a progressively shorter time unit from years to seconds. The outermost rings track years and months, while inner rings display weeks, days, hours, and minutes. Each ring contains colored tick marks for sub-units and a rotating arm that sweeps through them, with the active tick highlighted. Built with d3.v4, the animation uses `d3.timeInterval` for time arithmetic, `d3.arc` for arm geometry, and `d3.scaleRainbow` for color mapping, updating every second via CSS transitions.

Polar Clock

This polar clock visualizes time as six nested, colored arcs, each representing seconds, minutes, hours, days, dates, and months, with the arc length proportional to the current value. The SVG updates every second with an elastic transition, using `d3.svg.arc` for curved shapes, `attrTween` to interpolate arc angles, and a linear color scale to map each value to a hue. The code, built with D3 v3, tracks the current date via a `fields()` function and respects the `document.hidden` property to pause animation when the tab is inactive.

Multicolored Clock

The Multicolored Clock visualizes time as a nested set of seven animated arc segments, each representing seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month, and a static credit ring. The arcs smoothly transition every second using elastic easing, with colors interpolating across an HSL spectrum based on each unit’s current value via a linear scale. Built with D3 v3, it uses `d3.svg.arc`, `attrTween` for value interpolation, and `textPath` to label each ring. Data is generated live from the JavaScript `Date` object, rendered as SVG with continuous animation.

Fork of Multicolored Clock

A multicolored clock displays the current time as nested, animated SVG arcs, each ring representing seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, and month. The outermost arc shows the author’s name and a full circle. The visualization updates every second with d3.transition and an elastic easing, while the arc paths are interpolated using attrTween. It uses d3.time.format for time labels, d3.svg.arc for ring geometry, and a linear color scale interpolating between HSL hues.

Arc Clock

Three ring-like arcs display the current hour, minute, and second, with each arc filling proportionally to its unit and updating every second. A label beneath each arc shows the numeric value and unit letter. Built with D3 v3, the visualization uses SVG paths and `d3.svg.arc` for geometry, while `transition.attrTween` and an elastic easing animate the arc changes. The `update` function redraws the clock using `Date` methods like `getHours`, `getMinutes`, and `getSeconds`.

Clock

A real-time analog clock displays hour, minute, second, and millisecond hands against an outer ring and central hub. The visualization uses d3.v4 and d3-component to structure the SVG as reusable nested components, with each hand rendered as a rotated line element. A d3.timer callback updates the rotation transforms based on time elapsed since midnight, while the component lifecycle manages the timer’s creation and cleanup on destroy. The example demonstrates optimized component-based animation without external data sources.

Animated Clock

A stylized clock face displays twelve tan, rounded arc segments for the hour positions, with black hour and minute hands rotating continuously. The animation uses SVG `animateTransform` elements to rotate the hands at different speeds, completing a full revolution every 60 seconds for the minute hand and every 720 seconds for the hour hand. D3.js version 6.6.2 generates the arc paths and labels using the `d3.arc()` generator with `centroid()` positioning, while the white tick marks are static SVG lines rotated around the center.
