Three concentric, overlapping circles in cyan, magenta, and yellow continuously deform into a shifting wave pattern on a dark background. A slider labeled “Frequency” adjusts the speed of the oscillation, while the shapes are drawn as closed radial-line paths that update every frame. The code uses D3 v4’s `d3.radialLine`, `d3.curveLinearClosed`, and `d3.timer`, with the stroke colors blended via CSS `mix-blend-mode: darken`. The radius of each point is computed from a cosine function and a time-based term, creating the rhythmic, breathing motion.

Circle Wave

Three semi-transparent rings in cyan, magenta, and yellow form undulating circular waves around a shared center. Each ring’s radius oscillates based on a cosine function modulated by time, creating a continuously morphing, layered pattern with a darken blend mode. The animation uses `d3.radialLine` to generate the wave paths from an array of 200 angles, while `d3.timer` drives the redraw of each SVG path every frame. The code relies on D3 v4’s SVG rendering and the `mix-blend-mode` CSS property to composite the overlapping strokes.

Fork of Messing around with Sine Wave Circles

Four overlapping sine waves animate across the screen as rows of filled circles. Blue and crimson circles trace complementary sine and cosine paths, while smaller turquoise and orange circles follow similar curves with tighter spacing. The visualization uses D3 v7’s `d3.timer` to update each circle’s `cy` attribute based on a time offset, rendering 200 circles per wave in an SVG. It demonstrates periodic motion through D3’s data-join and selector methods.

Fork of Messing around with Sine Wave Circles

Four overlapping horizontal bands of blue, yellow, turquoise, and white circles undulate vertically across a blue background. Each band contains 50 circles whose vertical positions are driven by sine and cosine functions of time and circle index, creating wave-like patterns. The animation uses a `d3.timer` to update the `cy` attributes of SVG circles every frame, with each band offset using different amplitudes. The visualization is built with D3 v7 and renders through a dynamically created SVG element.

Sine Wave Circles

A row of white circles animates vertically to form a flowing sine wave. The visualization uses D3 v4 to bind an array of 40 numbers to SVG circle elements, positioning each along the x-axis. A `d3.timer` continuously updates each circle’s y-coordinate based on the sine of its index plus elapsed time, creating the wave effect. The circles are evenly spaced with a fixed radius, rendered on a black background.

Sine Wave Circles

A grid of 30 circles animates in a sine wave pattern, with each circle’s vertical position oscillating over time to create a flowing, wavelike motion across the screen. The wave’s frequency and amplitude are driven by a time-based function, with circles shifting smoothly as the animation progresses. Built with D3 v7, the visualization uses an SVG container and selects all circles to update their `cy` attributes via D3’s `timer` and `range` APIs. The example is a direct port of a p5.js sine wave demonstration, rendered entirely with SVG elements.

Messing around with Sine Wave Circles

Four overlapping sine and cosine waves are rendered as horizontal rows of blue, crimson, turquoise, and orange circles. Each wave uses a separate D3 group and a `d3.timer` to animate the vertical positions of 50 circles per row in real time. The animation is driven by `Math.sin` and `Math.cos` functions with a shared time parameter, creating contrasting phase-shifted motion across the four color-coded sets. Circles are positioned using D3’s data join and `attr` updates, with an SVG canvas sized 960 by 500 pixels.

Wave with gradient

This example animates a growing wave of circles across the screen, with each circle’s size and vertical position modulated by a sine function over time. The circles are colored with a radial gradient that transitions from purple to white. Written in D3.js, the code uses `select`, `range`, and a join to append new circles each frame, while `transition` and `easeLinear` control the size change. The animation runs on a `setInterval` at 60fps, incrementally adding circles until they fill the viewport width, then resetting.

D3 practice

An animated wave of circles moves across the screen, with fifteen evenly spaced circles rising and falling in a smooth sinusoidal pattern. Each circle is rendered as an SVG element, with its vertical position recalculated at 60 frames per second using a time-based sine function. The code uses D3’s `select`, `range`, and `join` methods to bind data and update the circle positions, while a `setInterval` drives the animation loop, updating a time variable that shifts the wave phase.
