I'm using Segment Plot to show multiple lines on the chart. How can I make these lines have arrows on their ends?
You can do this with some SVG + DOM hacking. You can define a "marker element" that can be placed at the beginning, middle or end of a line (see http://tutorials.jenkov.com/svg/marker-element.html for details on markers).
This means manipulating the SVG generated by Plottable. To get the underlying DOM elements, you need to get hold of the d3 "selection" representing each line.
Add a marker definition to the <svg> element where you are rendering the plot. I am pretty sure plottable won't overwrite entities already inside, but if it does you can always add it after rendering the plot.
Use Segment#entities to get all "PlotEntity" objects from the plot (http://plottablejs.org/docs/classes/plottable.plots.segment.html#entities).
Use the PlotEntity#selection property (http://plottablejs.org/docs/interfaces/plottable.plots.plotentity.html#selection) to get the set of DOM elements representing each segment.
The "Selection" interface is just a d3 selection (https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Selections). You can then add the appropriate "marker-end" attribute to each element, which should give you the arrow heads you want.
On the off-chance these lines are vertical, I have a super easy hack. Use .symbol() to create a scatter plot where the points are either up or down arrows, and place them at the ends of the segments.
Otherwise, you may have to draw the arrows yourself. You can get the pixel locations of the ends of the segments like this:
locX = xScale.invert(endpointXValue)
locY = yScale.invert(endpointYValue)
And then you could append an arrow shape to the foreground (see the crosshair container in this example)

We need to make it move like here.example The code is complex there, I can't figure it out.
I wrote the code my code, but I don’t understand how to make the tooltip move horizontally not behind the mouse, but near the nearest horizontal mark (as in the example)
It is not yet clear where the text above the bold text in the tooltip comes from. How to remove it so that it looks like in the picture?
How do I make the title of the tooltip match the label on the X-axis?
There are many ways to accomplish this. The way I typically do this is to create a series of SVG elements -- such as circles or rects -- using the same scale and data as the paths.
You can make these objects visible or invisible. Either way, you can attach mouseenter, mouseleave events to each to render and populate the tooltip.
Is it possible to align the data points and outliers of box plot in one straight line like in center of box plot?
Additionally, can I color the data points?
The current and the desired screen shot are attached with it.
You can use
.dataWidthPortion(0)
to not spread the points out at all. Documentation.
General advice on changing the color or style of anything, if there is no accessor for it:
Look for the chart in the chart selectors wiki, or if it's not there, inspect the item you want to change in the developer tools and find out what SVG tag and CSS class the item has. In this case, it's circle.data
Add a pretransition handler which selects the items you want, and changes them:
var cc = d3.scaleOrdinal().range(d3.schemeDark2);
bp02.on('pretransition', chart => {
chart.selectAll('circle.data').attr('fill', function(d) {
const boxDatum = d3.select(this.parentNode).datum();
return cc(boxDatum.value[d]);
})
});
In this case, we're creating an ordinal scale to map the available data to the colors in a color scheme.
The interesting question is here is what data to bind to the color of the dots, and how to get that data.
A box plot's data consists of an array of key/value pairs where each value is a Y value. When the box plot draws it will bind each circle.dot element to the index of the data in the array.
So we need to get the array that is bound to the box. Luckily d3.select(this.parentNode).datum() will give us the key/value pair for the box.
For this example, we are encoding the color based on the Y value, which we get by looking inside boxDatum.value. You don't specify how you want the dots colored but this shows the data that is available.
I am new to d3 and I am trying to do something like this. Here is what I have done so far JSFiddle, but I don't know how to align the lines to put them like in the picture and also how to put an information box below the chart.
var x=d3.scale.linear().domain([0,r]).range([0,w])
var y=d3.scale.linear().domain([r,0]).range([h,0])
center_group.append('line').attr("x1",x(r/4)).attr("y1",0);
center_group.append('line').attr("x1",x(-r/4)).attr("y1",0);
center_group.append('line').attr("x1",0).attr("y1",x(25));
center_group.append('line').attr("x1",0).attr("y1",x(-r/4));
Thanks!
If I understand correctly, you're trying to align the reticle lines within the circle. I've created a fiddle which should demonstrate a solution to the two issues in your original fiddle.
//circle svg drawn above this point...
center_group.append('line').attr("x1",x(r/6)).attr("y1",0).attr("x2",x(r/5.1));
center_group.append('line').attr("x1",x(-r/6)).attr("y1",0).attr("x2",x(-r/5.1));
center_group.append('line').attr("x1",0).attr("y1",x(19.7)).attr("y2",x(r/6));
center_group.append('line').attr("x1",0).attr("y1",x(-r/6)).attr("y2",x(-r/5.1));
//then include table, as shown here: http://bl.ocks.org/gka/17ee676dc59aa752b4e6
The first issue is that the lines were being drawn before the (white-filled) circle (so any line within the circle was covered). Second issue was that the lines were unbounded, so i added x2 and y2 attributes where needed. See picture link for results.
Regarding the information box, you could simply append a text element under the chart and drop your data in there, but for something more robust, you could include a table, as shown in the example linked in my code above (only two links allowed apparently).
I am creating a line chart with grid lines. Here's the similar example: http://bl.ocks.org/hunzy/11110940
I need to change the background of vertical space between X(2) to X(4), X(8) to X(10) and X(12) to X(14) on mouse hover. But I am not able to understand how to use D3 to reference those spaces between the grid lines.
There is nothing there to click on/hover over. The normal axis/grid creates lines, not rectangles. You would need to change the default behave of the axis objects to create "invisible, but clickable" rectangles in order to be able to attach a mouse event to those spaces.
I don't know if this is the recommended approach but it seems like it could work. After the axis has been created:
something
.attr('class','xaxis')
.call(xAxis)
You could select the ticks with something like this:
d3.select(svg).select('.xaxis g.tick').each(function(){
// this.transform will be "translate(X,Y)"
})
In the function you can query the existing properties of the g elements and extract the transform attribute which will contain the X and Y offset for the "tick". This can be used to determine one dimension of your rectangle objects. The other dimension is determined by the size of the other axis or something like that.
D3.js axes typically have "handlebars" on the end of each axis, like this:
Those look nice. But.
How can these be removed to make an axis look flat, like this:
The square ends of the path are sized using either the .tickSize method, in which case the second argument gives the outer tick size and the first the main tick size, or else using the .outerTickSize method. In either case, supply a value of 0 to suppress the ticks.
ticks.tickSize(innerTickHeight, 0);
or
ticks.outerTickSize(0);
