I am trying to create a scatter plot based on two timestamps in d3, but i'm not sure the proper way to use the d3-time-format methods to properly parse the values in the timestamp format and build a range based on a 24-hour period. So far I built a function to loop through my array and use the d3 methods to convert the string to a d3-readable format, but I can seem to figure out how to format the output so it converts from date format to time format. My questions are does d3 accept time format? And how can I go about converting the date object to a time object? At the moment I have a y-axis that presents ticks for years.
Provided is my full code:

To format the date, use d3.timeParse. This will parse any date string to a Date object. D3 can understand and work with time objects with timeScale.
I've renamed your original data to rawData. We also need to sort the data by the X axis:
var toDate = d3.timeParse("%H:%M:%S")
var data = rawData.map(d => ({
x: toDate(d.x),
y: toDate(d.y),
})).sort((a, b) => d3.descending(a.x, b.x)
To calculate the domain, use d3.extent which will compute the domain automatically.
var x = d3.scaleTime()
.domain(d3.extent(data, d => d.x))
.range([0, width]);

Using d3js, I need to draw(append) circles, not all together but with less then one second of distance. So one circle in x position, another one in y position after 0.5 second.
Use setTimeout. Here is the working code snippet.
var nodes = [{

You can use the standard javascript methods setTimeout or setInterval to append the circles one by one with a variable delay depending on the circle index.
Or, you could create all the circles on enter normally using the standard d3 syntax but with opacity set to 0 and just add a .transition() with delay dependent on the index that sets opacity to 1
Here's a working jsfiddle of the latter option: http://jsfiddle.net/pg5m3m3n/5/
Extract:
canvas.selectAll('circle')
.data(data)
.enter()
.append('circle')
.attr({
'cx': function(d) { return d.x; },
'cy': function(d) { return d.y; },
'r': 10,
'opacity': 0
})
.transition().delay(function(d,i) { return i*50; })
.attr('opacity',1);
The pros of this is that it uses d3 syntax and it's just 2 lines of code more than the normal append, the con is that the circles are actually added immediately and only become visible one by one, which may give performance issues if the number of circles to append is huge.
I'm trying to add text labels to certain data points with xCharts. For every point that has a "name" property I want a label near the point with the "name" value as text. This picture shows what I want:
And here is the data set:
var data = {
"xScale": "time",
"yScale": "linear",
"type": "line",
"main": [{
"className": ".pizza",
"data": [{
"x": "2012-11-05",
"y": 1
}, {
"x": "2012-11-06",
"y": 6
}, {
"x": "2012-11-07",
"y": 13,
"name": "Name 1"
}, {
"x": "2012-11-08",
"y": -3
}, {
"x": "2012-11-09",
"y": -4
}, {
"x": "2012-11-10",
"y": 9,
"name": "Name 2"
}, {
"x": "2012-11-11",
"y": 6
}]
}]
};
From what I understand this kind of customization is not supported out of the box in xCharts and must be done with d3 and I'm guessing it something along the lines as described in the documentation about Custom Vis Types. But I'm a complete newbie on d3 so I can't figure out how to create something useful.
How many plotting libraries are there built on top of d3?
I studied there documentation and this is the best I can come up with:
var lineDot = xChart.getVis('line-dotted');
var myVis = {
enter: function(self, storage, className, data) {
lineDot.enter.apply(this, arguments);
// Do your custom actions here
self._g.append('g')
.selectAll('.myText')
.data(data[0].data)
.enter()
.append('text')
.attr('x', function(d,i){
return self.xScale(d.x);
})
.attr('y', function(d,i){
return self.yScale(d.y);
})
.text(function(d,i){
return d.name;
})
},
update: function(self, storage, timing) {
lineDot.update.apply(this, arguments);
// Do your custom actions here
},
exit: function(self, storage, timing) {
lineDot.exit.apply(this, arguments);
// Do your custom actions here
},
destroy: function(self, storage, timing) {
lineDot.destroy.apply(this, arguments);
// Do your custom actions here
},
};
xChart.setVis('myvis', myVis);
Note, I only coded up the enter. You should probably handle the update case as well.
Example here.
There must be something obvious I'm missing here.
I'm trying to draw a simple line and this is my javascript:
// CRASH DATA
var lineData = [
{ "x": 0, "y": 0.5},
{ "x": 2, "y": 0.1},
{ "x": 4, "y": -0.5},
{ "x": 6, "y": -0.8},
{ "x": 8, "y": -0.9},
{ "x": 10, "y": -0.10},
{ "x": 12, "y": -0.10},
{ "x": 14, "y": -0.11},
{ "x": 16, "y": -0.10},
{ "x": 18, "y": -0.9},
{ "x": 20, "y": -0.7},
{ "x": 22, "y": -0.6},
{ "x": 24, "y": -0.5},
{ "x": 26, "y": -0.3},
{ "x": 28, "y": -0.1},
{ "x": 30, "y": 0.2},
{ "x": 32, "y": 0.4},
{ "x": 34, "y": 0.8},
{ "x": 36, "y": 0.8},
{ "x": 38, "y": 0.7},
{ "x": 40, "y": 0.4},
{ "x": 42, "y": 0.4},
{ "x": 44, "y": 0.4},
{ "x": 46, "y": 0.2},
{ "x": 48, "y": 0.1},
{ "x": 50, "y": 0}
];
//DRAW TRAJECTORY
function draw(data){
var margin = {top: 30, right: 20, bottom: 30, left: 50},
width = 600 - margin.left - margin.right,
height = 270 - margin.top - margin.bottom;
var x = d3.scale.linear().range([0, width]);
var y = d3.scale.linear().range([height, 0]);
var xAxis = d3.svg.axis().scale(x)
.orient("bottom").ticks(5);
var yAxis = d3.svg.axis().scale(y)
.orient("left").ticks(5);
//This is the accessor function we talked about above
var lineFunction = d3.svg.line()
.x(function(d) { return d.x; })
.y(function(d) { return d.y; })
.interpolate("linear");
var svg = d3.select("body")
.append("svg")
.attr("width", width + margin.left + margin.right)
.attr("height", height + margin.top + margin.bottom)
.append("g")
.attr("transform", "translate(" + margin.left + "," + margin.top + ")");
// Scale the range of the data
x.domain(d3.extent(data, function(d) { return d.x; }));
y.domain(d3.extent(data, function(d) { return d.y; }));
svg.append("g") // Add the X Axis
.attr("class", "x axis")
.attr("transform", "translate(0," + height + ")")
.call(xAxis);
svg.append("g") // Add the Y Axis
.attr("class", "y axis")
.call(yAxis);
svg.append("path") // Add the lineFunction path.
.attr("class", "line")
.attr("d", lineFunction(data));
};
//PUT EVERYTHING ON SCREEN
$( document ).ready(function() {
draw(lineData);
});
And here is the outcome:
You aren't actually using the scales you define. Your line function should be
var lineFunction = d3.svg.line()
.x(function(d) { return x(d.x); })
.y(function(d) { return y(d.y); })
.interpolate("linear");
