How to implement chart animations with the latest NVD3 refactor? - nvd3.js

How can I implement an animation for the pie chart when the page loads? I've set the transition, duration and ease methods but it currently just renders without animation.
I'm creating my chart like so...
nv.addGraph(function() {
//Set Simple Chart Options
var chart = nv.models.pieChart()
.x(function(d) { return d.title })
.y(function(d) { return d.value })
.showLabels(options_obj.show_labels)
.showLegend(options_obj.legend)
.width(options_obj.width)
.height(options_obj.height)
.color(colorRange)
.tooltips(options_obj.tooltips)
.donut(options_obj.doughnut);
//Set chart width/height and initialize animation
d3.select('#chart')
.datum(row_data)
.transition().duration(350).ease('linear')
.attr('width', options_obj.width)
.attr('height', options_obj.height)
.call(chart);
return chart;
});
I'd really like the animation to be similar to http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4341574 (but maybe only the first half).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

In the comments above, you found or created a working example that answers your original question. Then you asked how to make it work for two charts on the same page.
This is just a matter of getting the selectors right, and also understanding how dc.js renders and redraws work.
First off, that example does
var labelG = d3.select("svg")
which will always select the first svg element on the page. You could fix this by making the selector more specific, i.e. #us-chart svg and #us-chart2 svg, but I prefer to use the chart.select() function, which selects within the DOM tree of the specific chart.
Next, it's important to remember that when you render a chart, it will remove everything and start from scratch. This example calls dc.renderAll() twice, so any modifications made to the first chart will be lost on the second render.
In contrast, a redraw happens when any filter is changed, and it incrementally changes the chart, keeping the previous content.
I prefer to listen to dc.js chart events and make my modifications then. That way, every time the chart is rendered or redrawn, modifications can be made.
In particular, I try to use the pretransition event whenever possible for modifying charts. This happens right after drawing, so you have a chance to change things without any glitches or pauses.
Always add event listeners before rendering the chart.
Adding (the same) handler for both charts and then rendering, looks like this:
usChart.on('pretransition', function(chart) {
var project = d3.geo.albersUsa();
var labelG = chart.select("svg")
.selectAll('g.Title')
.data([0])
.enter()
.append("svg:g")
.attr("id", "labelG")
.attr("class", "Title");
labelG.selectAll("text")
.data(labels.features)
.enter().append("svg:text")
.text(function(d){return d.properties.name;})
.attr("x", function(d){return project(d.geometry.coordinates)[0];})
.attr("y", function(d){return project(d.geometry.coordinates)[1];})
.attr("dx", "-1em");
});
usChart2.on('pretransition', function(chart) {
var project = d3.geo.albersUsa();
var labelG = chart.select("svg")
.selectAll('g.Title')
.data([0])
.enter()
.append("svg:g")
.attr("id", "labelG")
.attr("class", "Title");
labelG.selectAll("text")
.data(labels.features)
.enter().append("svg:text")
.text(function(d){return d.properties.name;})
.attr("x", function(d){return project(d.geometry.coordinates)[0];})
.attr("y", function(d){return project(d.geometry.coordinates)[1];})
.attr("dx", "-1em");
});
dc.renderAll();
I used one more trick there: since pretransition happens for both renders and redraws, but we only want to add these labels once, I use this pattern:
.selectAll('g.Title')
.data([0])
.enter()
.append("svg:g")
.attr("class", "Title");
This is the simplest data binding there is: it says we want one g.Title and its data is just the value 0. Since we give the g element the Title class, this ensures that we'll add this element just once.
Finally, the result of this expression is an enter selection, so we will only add text elements when the Title layer is new.

NVD3 width error inside Tabs

I am very new to charting with D3 and NDV3.
I am putting the charts inside tabs. (Using Foundation 6.4)
The first chart is fine but the chart on the next clicked tab has a width issue. If I re-size the window it expands to the proper size.
Here is the code based on their example. Both charts are the same code - just with different IDs.
Thanks for any insight on using charts inside jquery tabs.
the code:
<div id="chart1"></div>
<script>
var chart;
var data;
var legendPosition = "top";
nv.addGraph(function () {
chart = nv.models.lineChart()
.options({
duration: 300,
useInteractiveGuideline: true
})
;
chart.xAxis
.axisLabel("Time (s)")
.tickFormat(d3.format(',.1f'))
.staggerLabels(true)
;
chart.yAxis
.axisLabel('Voltage (v)')
.tickFormat(function (d) {
return d3.format(',.2f')(d);
})
;
data = sinAndCos();
d3.select('#chart1').append('svg')
.datum(data)
.attr('height', 400)
.call(chart);
nv.utils.windowResize(chart.update);
return chart;
});
function sinAndCos() { ... }
</script>
First tab is fine - second one is very narrow.
this is the link for the Foundation Tabs.
https://foundation.zurb.com/sites/docs/tabs.html
Thank you very much. Cheers.
Looking at the source code of nvd3 the width and height are determined by the style attribute of the svg.
Add the svg to the div yourself and give it a style attribute. Maybe it also works with a CSS style width and height, for responsive websites. Just like an image you specify the size.
<div id="chart1">
<svg id="svg-chart1" style="width:800;height:400;"></svg>
</div>
<script>
....
d3.select('#svg-chart1')
.datum(data)
.call(chart);
....
</script>
Or with a different selector
<div id="chart1">
<svg style="width:800;height:400;"></svg>
</div>
<script>
....
d3.select('#chart1 svg')
.datum(data)
.call(chart);
....
</script>
I used the line chart example from the NVD3 site and got errors on these lines
.useInteractiveGuideline(true) //We want nice looking tooltips and a guideline!
.transitionDuration(350) //how fast do you want the lines to transition?
so I commented them out. But looking at your example you set these with the options() method. Using options() I get the interactive guideline and no errors.

piechart over a map point using d3.js

I want to draw a pie chart for every point on the map instead of a circle.
The map and the points are displaying well but the pie chart is not showing over the map points. There is no error also. I can see the added pie chart code inside map also.
Below is the code snippet .
var w = 600;
var h = 600;
var bounds = [[78,30], [87, 8]]; // rough extents of India
var proj = d3.geo.mercator()
.scale(800)
.translate([w/2,h/2])
.rotate([(bounds[0][0] + bounds[1][0]) / -2,
(bounds[0][1] + bounds[1][1]) / -2]); // rotate the project to bring India into view.
var path = d3.geo.path().projection(proj);
var map = d3.select("#chart").append("svg:svg")
.attr("width", w)
.attr("height", h);
var india = map.append("svg:g")
.attr("id", "india");
var gDataPoints = map.append("g"); // appended second
d3.json("data/states.json", function(json) {
india.selectAll("path")
.data(json.features)
.enter().append("path")
.attr("d", path);
});
d3.csv("data/water.csv", function(csv) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(csv))
gDataPoints.selectAll("circle")
.data(csv)
.enter()
.append("circle")
.attr("id", function (d,i) {
return "chart"+i;
})
.attr("cx", function (d) {
return proj([d.lon, d.lat])[0];
})
.attr("cy", function (d) {
return proj([d.lon, d.lat])[1];
})
.attr("r", function (d) {
return 3;
})
.each(function (d,i) {
barchart("chart"+i);
})
.style("fill", "red")
//.style("opacity", 1);
});
function barchart(id){
var data=[15,30,35,20];
var radius=30;
var color=d3.scale.category10()
var svg1=d3.select("#"+id)
.append("svg").attr('width',100).attr('height',100);
var group=svg1.append('g').attr("transform","translate(" + radius + "," + radius + ")");
var arc=d3.svg.arc()
.innerRadius('0')
.outerRadius(radius);
var pie=d3.layout.pie()
.value(function(d){
return d;
});
var arcs=group.selectAll(".arc")
.data(pie(data))
.enter()
.append('g')
.attr('class','arc')
arcs.append('path')
.attr('d',arc)
.attr("fill",function(d,i){
return color(d.data);
//return colors[i]
});
}

In testing your code I was unable to see the pie charts rendering, at all. But, I believe I still have a solution for you.
You do not need a separate pie chart function to call on each point. I'm sure that there are a diversity of opinions on this, but d3 questions on Stack Overflow often invoke extra functions that lengthen code while under-utilizing d3's strengths and built in functionality.
Why do I feel this way in this case? It is hard to preserve the link between data bound to svg objects and your pie chart function, which is why you have to pass the id of the point to your function. This will be compounded if you want to have pie chart data in your csv itself.
With d3's databinding and selections, you can do everything you need with much simpler code. It took me some time to get the hang of how to do this, but it does make life easier once you get the hang of it.
Note: I apologize, I ported the code you've posted to d3v4, but I've included a link to the d3v3 code below, as well as d3v4, though in the snippets the only apparent change may be from color(i) to color[i]
In this case, rather than calling a function to append pie charts to each circle element with selection.each(), we can append a g element instead and then append elements directly to each g with selections.
Also, to make life easier, if we initially append each g element with a transform, we can use relative measurements to place items in each g, rather than finding out the absolute svg coordinates we would need otherwise.
d3.csv("water.csv", function(error, water) {
// Append one g element for each row in the csv and bind data to it:
var points = gDataPoints.selectAll("g")
.data(water)
.enter()
.append("g")
.attr("transform",function(d) { return "translate("+projection([d.lon,d.lat])+")" })
.attr("id", function (d,i) { return "chart"+i; })
.append("g").attr("class","pies");
// Add a circle to it if needed
points.append("circle")
.attr("r", 3)
.style("fill", "red");
// Select each g element we created, and fill it with pie chart:
var pies = points.selectAll(".pies")
.data(pie([0,15,30,35,20]))
.enter()
.append('g')
.attr('class','arc');
pies.append("path")
.attr('d',arc)
.attr("fill",function(d,i){
return color[i];
});
});
Now, what if we wanted to show data from the csv for each pie chart, and perhaps add a label. This is now done quite easily. In the csv, if there was a column labelled data, with values separated by a dash, and a column named label, we could easily adjust our code to show this new data:
d3.csv("water.csv", function(error, water) {
var points = gDataPoints.selectAll("g")
.data(water)
.enter()
.append("g")
.attr("transform",function(d) { return "translate("+projection([d.lon,d.lat])+")" })
.attr("class","pies")
points.append("text")
.attr("y", -radius - 5)
.text(function(d) { return d.label })
.style('text-anchor','middle');
var pies = points.selectAll(".pies")
.data(function(d) { return pie(d.data.split(['-'])); })
.enter()
.append('g')
.attr('class','arc');
pies.append("path")
.attr('d',arc)
.attr("fill",function(d,i){
return color[i];
});
});
The data we want to display is already bound to the initial g that we created for each row in the csv. Now all we have to do is append the elements we want to display and choose what properties of the bound data we want to show.
The result in this case looks like:
I've posted examples in v3 and v4 to show a potential implementation that follows the above approach for the pie charts:
With one static data array for all pie charts as in the example: v4 and v3
And by pulling data from the csv to display: v4 and v3

d3.js: Update multiple pie charts

This question has been asked before but I don't think the given solution is the cleanest way to do it so I'm hoping someone may have figured it out since then. I am generating multiple pie charts using d3.js and am dynamically updating them through SQL queries. This is my update function:
function updateCharts()
{
var updatedDataSet = getDataSet();
// Create a pie layout and bind the new data to it
var layout = d3.layout.pie()
.value(function(d, i) { return d[i].count; })
.sort(null);
// Select the pie chart
var pieChartSVG = d3.selectAll("#pie");
// Select each slice of the pie chart
var arcsUpdate = pieChartSVG.selectAll("g.slice")
.data(layout([updatedDataSet]))
.enter();
// Apply transitions to the pie chart to reflect the new dataset
arcsUpdate.select("path")
.attr("fill", function(d, i) { return color(i); })
.attr("d", arc)
.transition()
.duration(1000)
.attrTween("d", arcTween);
}
But it doesn't work. If I take the .enter() out of arcsUpdate then it works but applies the same changes(data and tweens) to each chart. I could get around this by doing a foreach() on the elements returned from pieChartSVG but I can't think of a way of doing that other than the one described in the other question.
I have had to use the solution from the other question as I have to move forward but it's not a "clean" solution so I'd love to know if anybody is aware of a better way to handle it.
I thought you need take the .enter() out of arcsUpdate just like
var arcsUpdate = pieChartSVG.selectAll("path")
.data(layout([updatedDataSet]));
// Apply transitions to the pie chart to reflect the new dataset
arcsUpdate.enter()
.append("path")
.attr("fill", function(d, i) { return color(i); })
.attr("d", arc)
.transition()
.duration(1000)
.attrTween("d", arcTween);
This is the correct way.
And if it applies the same changes(data and tweens) to each chart. Please check out they are binding same updateDataSet or not.

NVD3 RotateLabels not working on MultiChart

First and last labels are rendered incorrectly. Does anyone know if there's a way to fix this, or is it a bug?
Here's how it's rendering for me
http://i.imgur.com/F4I9FjL.png
The solution can change depending of the elements you've inside body tag. I've selected all .nv-x .nv-axis elements inside <body>. The line that defines the attr option, you can change de translate and rotate values.
var chart = nv.models.discreteBarChart();
nv.addGraph(function() {
... (chart options like chart.x and chart.y, load data, etc.)
d3.select('body')
.selectAll('.nv-x.nv-axis > g')
.selectAll('g')
.selectAll('text')
.attr('transform', function(d) { return 'translate (-13, 15) rotate(-45 0,0)' });
});
return chart;
});
