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 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.

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.

Trembling triangle #2

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.

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.

Gist 00170d49e926de0c3a9a

A grid of small circles and hexagon-like arrangements of rounded orange rectangles animates in a staggered transition. The visualization generates a field of triangular tile motifs, where each tile contains three small circles and three rounded rectangles positioned at their edges. Initially, the rectangles and circles sit at the tile centers; after a delay, they rotate outward to the triangle’s midpoints. Using D3.js with SVG transitions, the code applies `translate` and `rotate` transforms to reposition elements, driven by trigonometric calculations for hexagon geometry. The rendering uses D3 selections and transitions, with data-bound groups and nested arrays to handle multiple coordinates.

Triangle Circle without Rotate

An SVG scene uses D3 v5 to animate a gray triangle orbiting a yellow central point without rotating itself. The animation runs on a timer that updates a `rotate` transform on an outer group and applies an equal negative rotation to an inner `#g_rotateBack` group, canceling the triangle’s spin. Red and pink reference dots mark the orbit radius and triangle centroid. The drawing includes horizontal grid lines and uses nested `g` elements with explicit transforms for position and counter-rotation.

Triangle Pentagon

This example displays a closed polygonal line connecting eight points in a two-dimensional coordinate space, forming a shape reminiscent of a star or a triangle-pentagon hybrid. The visualization uses the D3.js v4 library’s `d3.line()` path generator to convert the array of x-y coordinates into an SVG `path` element, which is then rendered with a blue stroke and no fill. The code appends the SVG container to the document body via `d3.select()`, hardcoding the 1000x1000 pixel canvas and the data points. The geometric pattern is drawn as a single continuous path, illustrating how D3’s line interpolation handles multiple segments within one dataset.

Circular Layout

The example shows a circular pattern of 180 radial spokes, each containing ten small circles that recede and shift in color outward from the center, producing a sunburst-like mandala effect. It uses D3 v3 to generate the SVG structure, with each spoke rotated incrementally via `transform` attributes. Circle positions and fills are mapped linearly through `d3.scale.linear`, transitioning from brown to steelblue along a radius of 180 to 240 pixels. All shapes have black strokes, and the rendering relies on SVG elements created through data joins on `d3.range` values.
