I am a beginner with D3 and JS in general.
I am trying to do a simple rectangle visualisation with a small csv file as a source.
price, units
80.67, 100
80.87, 99
79.34, 47
File, csv are in the same folder.
I am using Python's SimpleHTTPServer to serve locally in this folder.
This is my code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Test Data</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../d3/d3.v3.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
// load csv from the same directory
d3.csv("test.csv", function (data){
return {
price: +data.price, // convert to number with +
units: +data.units, // convert to number with +
};
var canvas = d3.select("body").append("svg")
.attr("width", 500)
.attr("height", 500)
canvas.selectAll("rect")
.data(data)
.enter()
.append("rect")
.attr("width", function (d) { return d.price; })
.attr("height", 48)
.attr("y", function (d) { return d.units; })
.attr("fill", "blue");
canvas.selectAll("text")
.data(data)
.enter()
.append("text")
.attr("fill", "white")
.attr("y", function (d) { return d.units + 24; })
.text( function (d) { return d.units;})
});
</script>
</body>
I am getting no errors, just a blank page.
What is wrong with this code?
The first thing you do in your callback is to return. None of the code after that is being executed. I'm referring to
return {
price: +data.price, // convert to number with +
units: +data.units, // convert to number with +
};
which should probably be
data.forEach(function(d) {
d.price = +d.price;
d.units = +d.units;
});
The signature of the callback should also be function(error, data) instead of function(data).

I'm brand new to D3.js, so my apologies in advance if I'm overlooking something obvious, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what's not working here...
I've been inching my way through Scott Murray's Interactive Data Visualization for the Web and I've hit a block at Chapter 7. My goal is to load some simple data from a csv document, parse the first column as Date data, and then display. The head of the csv looks like this...
Date, Amount
9/15/17, 26
11/9/17, 31
11/30/17, 23
12/21/17, 26
2/7/18, 23
I run the code below (which comes directly from the book!) and...none of that seems to be happening. When I enter "dataset" into the console, it only seems to include the final row:
{Date: "01/31/17", Amount: "23"}
Amount: "23"
Date: "01/31/17"
I'm perplexed since, again, the code itself comes from the book. I've been working through previous chapters just fine until now. And yes, I'm running a local server. Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks very much in advance!

Instead of :
d3.csv("time_scale_data.csv", rowConverter, function(data) {
--- your code ---
});
Try this :
d3.csv("time_scale_data.csv", rowConverter).then(data){
--- your code ---
});
How do I assign id attribute to each append of circle so that I can later use the circles based on its id. For now I am able to clone the circle on drag with out any id.
Demo: https://jsbin.com/zuxetokigi/1/edit?html,output
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>JSP Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/d3/3.5.5/d3.js"></script>
<script>
svg = d3.select("body").append("svg")
.attr("width", 960)
.attr("height", 500);
circle1 = svg.append("circle")
.attr("id", "circleToClone")
.attr("cx", 100)
.attr("cy", 100)
.attr("r", 20);
var drag = d3.behavior.drag()
.origin(function ()
{
var t = d3.select(this);
return {x: t.attr("cx"), y: t.attr("cy")};
})
.on('dragend', function (d) {
var mouseCoordinates = d3.mouse(this);
if (mouseCoordinates[0] > 120) {
//Append new element
var circle2 = d3.select("svg").append("circle")
.classed("drg", true)
.attr("cx", 100)
.attr("cy", 100)
.attr("r", 20)
.attr("cx", mouseCoordinates[0])
.attr("cy", mouseCoordinates[1])
.style("fill", "green");
}
});
circle1.call(drag);
</script>
</body>
</html>
If you want to give every circle a unique id, you could use a function to generate a GUID/UUID ('Globally Unique Identifier') for every circle.
You could add the following function from Salvik Meltser's GUID/UUID function to your code (anywhere before the drag function):
function guid() {
function _random_letter() {
return String.fromCharCode(97+Math.floor(Math.random() * 26));
}
function _p8(s) {
var p = (Math.random().toString(16)+"000000000").substr(2,8);
return s ? "-" + p.substr(0,4) + "-" + p.substr(4,4) : _random_letter() + p.substr(0, 7);
}
return _p8() + _p8(true) + _p8(true) + _p8();
}
I modified Salvik's original function a little bit because HTML element IDs need to start with a letter in HTML 4 or contain at least one letter in HTML 5.
And then where you append the new circle, just use .attr("id", guid()) to generate a new id for the circle.
var circle2 = d3.select("svg").append("circle")
.attr("id", guid())
.classed("drg", true)
...
You can assign new id attribute to each element created using its index:
var circle2 = d3.select("svg").append("circle")
.classed("drg", true)
.attr("cx", 100)
.attr("cy", 100)
.attr("r", 20)
.attr("cx", mouseCoordinates[0])
.attr("cy", mouseCoordinates[1])
.style("fill", "green");
circle2.selectAll("circle").attr("id", function(d,i) { return i; });

But failed, I don't know that how to define data structure and don't know how to pie dataset. pie(dataset) or pie(function(d){return d.value} ); could you help me to correct it
the javascript console told me that A is not defined. This A is the value of the name of the dataset. I don't know if the only request is digital value or digital array for pie ring.
Few problems here. It's telling you A isn't defined because it's not. You're using plain text instead of a string, so it thinks A is a variable, not a label. Even if you resolved that, there would be some other issues with the structure.
Copied almost straight from the d3 pie chart example here, I put in your data and it works a charm.
Here's the code, but I also strongly recommend going over the tutorial so you can see how it's supposed to work.

I get pretty excited about the D3.js studying and presentation. And I get stuck on the data importing part. I've tried one month now, and couldn't find a solution for it.
If the data is simply pasted in the code, the scripts works perfectly fine. But once I tried to import the data from outside the script. The webpage won't show anything.
Can someone be kind enough to give me a hand?
Here are my scripts and data:

I am new to Stackoverflow, and trying to edit it as I want, but not perfect. Please feel free to let me know if you get confused about the codes. I will explain, cause I really want to solve this. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for tipping me off! Looking forward to your reply keenly!
This is a security feature in browsers known as the same-origin policy. You can view this in action by firing up your browser-of-choice's dev tools and seeing what happens when it tries to fetch your JSON file.
There are various methods to work around this. If you have access to web hosting, throw it up there. Otherwise, choose a method to run a lightweight server locally. The simplest one that people are routinely told is to serve an index.html file in python:
#(in v2.x)
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
#(in v3.x)
python -m http.server 8000
then browsing to localhost:8000. This is explained in slightly more detail on the d3 wiki. For more in-depth explanations and whatnot, I recommend some reading.
I'm just starting with d3.js and can't get a simple demo to work correctly.
It's tough to debug: If there’s a bug, it often crashes in d3′s minified code with no stack trace. In this case, it doesn’t print any errors to the error console at all.
When I run this code, all my nodes are stuck in position (0,0) instead of being laid out by force(). What's wrong?

$(function() {
var svg = d3.select('#graph').append('svg').attr('width', 900).attr('height', 900)
var myNodes = [{name:'a'}, {name:'b'}, {name:'c'}]
var myLinks = [{source:myNodes[0], target:myNodes[1]}, {source:myNodes[1], target:myNodes[2]}, {source:myNodes[2], target:myNodes[0]}]
svg.append("text").text("myNodes[0].name=" + myNodes[0].name).attr('y', 50)
var force = d3.layout.force().charge(-120).linkDistance(30).size([900, 900])
var link = svg.selectAll("line")
.data(myLinks)
.enter().append("svg:line");
var node = svg.selectAll("circle")
.data(myNodes)
.enter().append("svg:circle")

force.nodes(myNodes).links(myLinks).start()
});

Force just handles setting x/y attributes on the nodes and links:
... The initial x and y coordinates, if not already set externally to a valid number, are computed by examining neighboring node..
It does not actually handle updating of the corresponding svg shapes. This you would typically do in the tick event:
Listen to tick events to update the displayed positions of nodes
force.on("tick", function() {
link.attr("x1", function(d) { return d.source.x; })
.attr("y1", function(d) { return d.source.y; })
.attr("x2", function(d) { return d.target.x; })
.attr("y2", function(d) { return d.target.y; });
node.attr("cx", function(d) { return d.x; })
.attr("cy", function(d) { return d.y; });
});
The only other piece missing from your example is setting the style of the lines. By default they have no stroke color so appear invisible. You can either set the color directly on the line, like this:
var link = svg.selectAll("line")
.data(myLinks)
.enter().append("svg:line")
.attr('stroke', 'red')
.attr('stroke-width', 2)
Or make a CSS class for them:
<style>
.link {
stroke: blue;
stroke-width: 1.5px;
}
</style>
And tag them with it when you create them:
var link = svg.selectAll("line")
.data(myLinks)
.enter().append("svg:line")
.attr('class', 'link')
