Make stacked area chart overlapping area - d3.js

This stacked area chart by Mike Bostock appears slightly misleading to me. For example, if you look at the numbers on the yAxis, it appears (to me) that for Monday 23, the lightest blue area has a total of approximately 95 or 96, but if you look at the data, the total for light blue (which is actually group 3) is really 46 for Monday 23. So why is that? because the areas are stacked ontop of each other, wheras the yAxis gives the impression (in my opinion), for example, that the area at the top of the stack includes all the numbers below it (hence my reading of 96 for group 3 on Monday January 23).
My question is, how can that graph (code and data below) be changed so the it works the way that I initially interpreted it, so that the raw data for any area that's ontop includes the totals below. Likely not the correct term for it, but I want to make a stacked area chart "overlapping" instead.

Parsing a dataset of time in the format "Y-M-D H:M:S.MS" gives me 0NaN-NaN-NaNTNaN:NaN:NaN.NaNZ

I am able to see glucose readings but time shows up as: 0NaN-NaN-NaNTNaN:NaN:NaN.NaNZ
I am trying to parse a dataset of time of the format "Y-M-D H:M:S.MS". I need it to be formatted properly so that I can show it on the x axis. I have attached sample dataset to this code.
My code looks like this:
<script>
function overview(){
// Set the dimensions of the canvas / graph
var margin = {top: 10, right: 20, bottom: 30, left: 30},
width = 600 - margin.left - margin.right,
height = 500 - margin.top - margin.bottom;
// // Parse the date / time
var parseDate = d3.utcFormat("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%LZ");
var x = d3.scaleTime()
.range([0, width]);
var y = d3.scaleLinear()
.range([height, 0]);
var xAxis = d3.axisBottom()
.tickFormat(d3.timeFormat("%H"));
var yAxis = d3.axisLeft();
// Define the line
var valueline = d3.line()
.x(function(d) { return x(d.time); })
.y(function(d) { return y(d.glucoseReading); });
// Adds the svg canvas
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 + ")");
// Get the data
d3.csv("glucose.csv", function(error, data) {
data.forEach(function(d) {
d.time = parseDate(d.time);
d.glucoseReading = +d.glucoseReading;
console.log(d.time);
console.log(d.glucoseReading);
});
// Scale the range of the data
x.domain(d3.extent(data, function(d) { return d.time; }));
y.domain([0, d3.max(data, function(d) { return d.glucoseReading; })]);
// Add the valueline path.
svg.append("path")
.attr("class", "line")
.attr("d", valueline(data));
// Add the scatterplot
svg.selectAll("dot")
.data(data)
.enter().append("circle")
.attr("r", 3.5)
.attr("cx", function(d) { return x(d.time); })
.attr("cy", function(d) { return y(d.glucoseReading); });
// Add the X Axis
svg.append("g")
.attr("class", "x axis")
.attr("transform", "translate(0," + height + ")")
.call(xAxis);
// Add the Y Axis
svg.append("g")
.attr("class", "y axis")
.call(yAxis);
});
}
overview();
</script>
My Dataset looks like:
You want to convert (parse) strings to dates, not the other way around. Therefore, instead of d3.utcFormat(), you have to use d3.utcParse(). On top of that, your specifier is incorrect: there is no timezone in your strings.
So, this should be your parseDate function and specifier:
var parseDate = d3.utcParse("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%L")
Here is it working (check your browse console, not the snippet's one):
var parseDate = d3.utcParse("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%L")
var string = "2017-08-23 00:03:52.591";
console.log(parseDate(string))

Constraining axis labels in d3

I am following a tutorial so I can learn a bit of d3js.
Here is my code:
'use strict';
//Dashboard
//setup size of line chart
var margin = {top: 20, right: 20, bottom: 30, left: 50},
width = 600 - margin.left - margin.right,
height = 400 - margin.top - margin.bottom;
//parse data from file
var parseDate = d3.time.format("%b").parse;
//set scales
var x = d3.time.scale()
.range([0, width]);
var y = d3.scale.linear()
.range([height, 0]);
//create axes
var xAxis = d3.svg.axis()
.scale(x)
.orient("bottom");
var yAxis = d3.svg.axis()
.scale(y)
.orient("left");
//construct the line using points from data
var line = d3.svg.line()
.x(function(d) { return x(d.date); })
.y(function(d) { return y(d.users); });
var svg = d3.select(".linechart").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 + ")");
d3.tsv("data.tsv", function(error, data) {
if (error) throw error;
//traverse through the data
data.forEach(function(d) {
d.date = parseDate(d.date);
d.users = +d.users;
});
//establish the domain for x and y axes
x.domain(d3.extent(data, function(d) { return d.date; }));
y.domain(d3.extent(data, function(d) { return d.users; }));
//add "groups"
svg.append("g")
.attr("class", "x axis")
.attr("transform", "translate(0," + height + ")")
.call(xAxis);
svg.append("g")
.attr("class", "y axis")
.call(yAxis)
.append("text")
.attr("transform", "rotate(-90)")
.attr("y", 6)
.attr("dy", ".71em")
.style("text-anchor", "end")
.text("Users (unique)");
svg.append("path")
.datum(data)
.attr("class", "line")
.attr("d", line);
});
The results look like this:
The data is:
date users
Jan 10
Feb 20
Mar 30
....
My question is about the axis, how can I force it to not insert labels on the x axis that are not in the data set?
Set ticks for x axis manually:
...
if (error) throw error;
var ticks = data.map(function(d) { return parseDate(d.date) };
...
x.domain(d3.extent(data, function(d) { return d.date; })).tickValues(ticks);

2 completely different d3 charts on same page

I'm trying to get 2 completely different d3 charts (2 line charts but totally different data - one with several lines and negative data, other with one line positive data) on the same page.
Right now, I only get the first one to be generated and shown correctly on the HTML page, the second chart doesn't show at all (not even svg container is generated).
Here is my code:
(function() {
// Get the data

var parseDate = d3.time.format("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S").parse;
// Set the ranges
var x = d3.time.scale().range([0, width]);
var y = d3.scale.linear().range([height, 0]);
// Define the axes
var xAxis = d3.svg.axis().scale(x)
.orient("bottom").ticks(5);
var yAxis = d3.svg.axis().scale(y)
.orient("left").ticks(5);
// Define the line
var valueline = d3.svg.line()
.x(function(d) { return x(d.temps); })
.y(function(d) { return y(d.temperature); });
// prepare data

d.temps = parseDate(d.temps);
d.temperature = +d.temperature;

OK, I found where the error was coming from. There was a piece of javascript in the middle of the HTML page that stopped d3 to generate the second graph further down in the page.
Thanks for all the help!

D3 multi series line graph missing 3rd line

I apologize if this seems like a repeat. I've seen a lot of similar threads, but none seems to be solving the exact problem I have.
I need to create a multi-series line chart for a class. I'm not well versed in javascript and am completely new to D3, so I'm working through this as best I can. I started with this example: http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/3884955
I copied the code in to an editor and all I've really done to it is change the format of the time scale to four digit year (which seems to be working), rename the variables "city" and "cities" to "category" and "categories", and relabel the Temperature axis with "Percent".
Here's my code:
<body>
<script src="http://d3js.org/d3.v3.js"></script>
<script>
var margin = {top: 20, right: 80, bottom: 30, left: 50},
width = 960 - margin.left - margin.right,
height = 500 - margin.top - margin.bottom;
//Change date format to four digit year.
var parseDate = d3.time.format("%Y").parse;
//x and y axes
var x = d3.time.scale()
.range([0, width]);
var y = d3.scale.linear()
.range([height, 0]);
var color = d3.scale.category10();
var xAxis = d3.svg.axis()
.scale(x)
.orient("bottom");
var yAxis = d3.svg.axis()
.scale(y)
.orient("left");
var line = d3.svg.line()
//change from "basis" to "linear"
.interpolate("basis")
.x(function(d) { return x(d.date); })
//changed d.temperature to d.percent
.y(function(d) { return y(d.percent); });
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 + ")");
d3.tsv("data.tsv", function(error, data) {
color.domain(d3.keys(data[0]).filter(function(key) { return key !== "date"; }));
data.forEach(function(d) {
d.date = parseDate(d.date);
});
//changied variable "cities" to "categories"
var categories = color.domain().map(function(name) {
return {
name: name,
values: data.map(function(d) {
//changed below to percent
return {date: d.date, percent: +d[name]};
})
};
});
x.domain(d3.extent(data, function(d) { return d.date; }));
//changed "cities" to "categories"
y.domain([
//Temp to percent
d3.min(categories, function(c) { return d3.min(c.values, function(v) { return v.percent; }); }),
d3.max(categories, function(c) { return d3.max(c.values, function(v) { return v.percent; }); })
]);
svg.append("g")
.attr("class", "x axis")
.attr("transform", "translate(0," + height + ")")
.call(xAxis);
svg.append("g")
.attr("class", "y axis")
.call(yAxis)
.append("text")
.attr("transform", "rotate(-90)")
.attr("y", 6)
.attr("dy", ".71em")
.style("text-anchor", "end")
//Changed Temperature to percent for label
.text("Percent (%)");
//Changed "city" to "category" and "cities" to "categories"
var category = svg.selectAll(".category")
.data(categories)
.enter().append("g")
.attr("class", "category");
category.append("path")
.attr("class", "line")
.attr("d", function(d) { return line(d.values); })
.style("stroke", function(d) { return color(d.name); });
category.append("text")
.datum(function(d) { return {name: d.name, value: d.values[d.values.length - 1]}; })
.attr("transform", function(d) { return "translate(" + x(d.value.date) + "," + y(d.value.percent) + ")"; })
.attr("x", 3)
.attr("dy", ".35em")
.text(function(d) { return d.name; });
});
</script>
I know this is a lot - pretty much everything. I just have no idea where the problem is. If there is anyone willing to look at this, I'd appreciate it very much. Here's a link to where my current graph is hosted:http://www.pitt.edu/~kac232/hmwrk1ptA_test.html
Currently, what's happening is that I am missing a line for one category, and also my paths are perfectly straight, whigh makes no sense to me. I would expect them to stagger at least a little.
Thanks!
You're going to kick yourself, but the error is in your data's headings. You repeated the heading Bachelor's degree or more. Change one of the names and it will work as expected.

How to add space between axis and line in D3 line chart?

Given this simple chart I created:
var data = [["2013-01-24 06:38:02.235191", 52], ["2013-01-23 06:38:02.235310", 54], ["2013-01-22 06:38:02.235330", 45], ["2013-01-21 06:38:02.235346", 53]],
maxValue = d3.max(data, function (d) { return d[1]; }),
margin = {top: 20, right: 20, bottom: 50, left: 50},
width = 500 - margin.left - margin.right,
height = 300 - margin.top - margin.bottom,
svg, x, y, xAxis, yAxis, line;
$.each(data, function(index, val) {
val[0] = new Date(val[0]);
});
x = d3.time.scale()
.range([0, width])
y = d3.scale.linear()
.domain([0, maxValue])
.range([height, 0]);
xAxis = d3.svg.axis()
.scale(x)
.tickSize(4, 2, 0)
.ticks(d3.time.days, 1)
.tickFormat(d3.time.format("%m/%d"))
.orient("bottom");
yAxis = d3.svg.axis()
.scale(y)
// .ticks(5)
// .tickValues([0, maxValue * 0.25, maxValue * 0.5, maxValue * 0.75, maxValue])
.tickSize(4, 2, 0)
.orient("left");
line = d3.svg.line()
.x(function(d) { return x(d[0]); })
.y(function(d) { return y(d[1]); });
svg = d3.select("#chart-holder").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 + ")");
x.domain(d3.extent(data, function(d) { return d[0]; }));
y.domain(d3.extent(data, function(d) { return d[1]; }));
svg.append("g")
.attr("class", "x axis")
.attr("transform", "translate(0," + height + ")")
.call(xAxis)
.selectAll("text")
.attr("transform", function(d) {
return "rotate(-60)translate(" + -this.getBBox().height * 1.7 + "," +
-this.getBBox().width/4 + ")";
});
svg.append("g")
.attr("class", "y axis")
.call(yAxis);
svg.append("path")
.datum(data)
.attr("class", "line")
.attr("d", line);
svg
.selectAll("circle")
.data(data)
.enter().append("circle")
.attr("fill", "#0b8da0")
.attr("r", 3.5)
.attr("cx", function(d) { return x(d[0]); })
.attr("cy", function(d) { return y(d[1]); });
How can I add a space between axis and line, so it won't touch the axis.
Also is there a way to force yAxis ticks to always start from 0, no matter what is the smallest value in the data set?
Working example can be found here: http://jsfiddle.net/n7Vmr/
You can just change the domain of the scale used to draw the y-axis, look for the line
y.domain(d3.extent(data, function(d) { return d[1]; }));
needs to be changed, if you want it one less than the smallest value in your dataset use
y.domain([d3.min(data, function (d) { return d[1]; })-1, maxValue]);
or if you want it to start from 0, regardless of the data
y.domain([0, maxValue]);
