So I'm new to D3 and have little exp with JavaScript in general. So I have been following some tutorials am currently using source code that creates a basic scatter plot. Now my question is how do I use the transition() method to moves the circles around when I add more datasets? I want to be able to set up buttons and when a user presses them, it activates the transition() method with the corresponding dataset. The tutorial I read on transitions only showed a transition on a single rectangle and did it manually, without data, and not with multiple items
//Width and height
var w = 900;
var h = 600;
var padding = 30;
//Static dataset
var dataset = [
[50, 30], [300, 75], [123, 98], [70, 40], [247, 556],
[410, 12], [475, 44], [25, 67], [85, 21], [220, 88],
[600, 150]
];
//Create scale functions
var xScale = d3.scale.linear()
.domain([0, d3.max(dataset, function(d) { return d[0]; })])
.range([padding, w - padding * 2]);
var yScale = d3.scale.linear()
.domain([0, d3.max(dataset, function(d) { return d[1]; })])
.range([h - padding, padding]);
var rScale = d3.scale.linear()
.domain([0, d3.max(dataset, function(d) { return d[1]; })])
.range([4, 4]);
//Define X axis
var xAxis = d3.svg.axis()
.scale(xScale)
.orient("bottom")
.ticks(5);
//Define Y axis
var yAxis = d3.svg.axis()
.scale(yScale)
.orient("left")
.ticks(5);
//Create SVG element
var svg = d3.select("body")
.append("svg")
.attr("width", w)
.attr("height", h);
//Create circles
svg.selectAll("circle")
.data(dataset)
.enter()
.append("circle")
.attr("cx", function(d) {
return xScale(d[0]);
})
.attr("cy", function(d) {
return yScale(d[1]);
})
.attr("r", function(d) {
return rScale(d[1]);
})
.attr("fill", "blue");
//Create X axis
svg.append("g")
.attr("class", "axis")
.attr("transform", "translate(0," + (h - padding) + ")")
.call(xAxis);
//Create Y axis
svg.append("g")
.attr("class", "axis")
.attr("transform", "translate(" + padding + ",0)")
.call(yAxis);
First, before addressing the transition issue, you need to refactor things a bit. You're going to want to call an update(newData) function every time your data changes, and have this function do all the necessary updates.
This tutorial by mbostock describes exactly the "general update pattern" you'll need.
Parts II and III then go on to explaining how to work transitions into this pattern.
They're very short. And once you understand them, you'll have just about all the info you need to do this.
I guess you just have to specify .transition() function after .data(newData) function
In the following example Y2 is a node in a JSON file, where Y1 was the previous one used
Example:
//Creating the button
var button = d3.select("body")
.append("input")
.attr("type","button")
.attr("value", "A button");
//Transitioning process
button.on("click", function()
{ circles
.data(data.Y2)
.transition()
.attr("cx", function(d)
{
return d[0];
}
)
.attr("cy", 300);
}
)

I want to create a barchart displaying C02 emission.
The Problem (see picture below):
Why are the bars "pushed" to the right? Why are the years in the x-axis displayed without the first integer?
I am using Version 3 of d3.
Given some JSON data like this:
[
{
"Cement": 0.0,
"Gas Flaring": 0.0,
"Gas Fuel": 0.0,
"Liquid Fuel": 0.0,
"Per Capita": null,
"Solid Fuel": 3.0,
"Total": 3.0,
"Year": 1751
},
and so on…
]
To prepare for scaling I did:
var minDate = dataset[0].Year;
var maxDate = dataset[dataset.length - 1].Year;
var maxValue = d3.max(dataset, function(d) {
return d["Per Capita"];
});
I append the svg
var svg = d3
.select("body")
.append("svg")
.attr("width", w)
.attr("height", h);
I sacled the xAxis and the yAxis:
var xAxisScale = d3.time
.scale()
.domain([minDate, maxDate])
.range([0, w]);
var yAxisScale = d3.scale
.linear()
.domain([0, maxValue])
.range([h, 0]);
The I finally builded these axisses…
var xAxis = d3.svg
.axis()
.scale(xAxisScale)
.orient("bottom");
var yAxis = d3.svg
.axis()
.scale(yAxisScale)
.orient("left");
svg
.append("g")
.attr("class", "axis")
.attr("transform", "translate(92," + (h - padding) + ")")
.call(xAxis);
svg
.append("g")
.attr("class", "axis")
.attr("transform", "translate(" + padding + ",-90)")
.call(yAxis);
I also than addeded the rects…
svg
.selectAll("rect")
.data(dataset)
.enter()
.append("rect")
.style("fill", "teal")
.attr({
x: function(d, i) {
return i * (w / dataset.length);
},
y: function(d) {
return yAxisScale(d["Per Capita"]);
},
width: w / dataset.length,
height: function(d) {
return h - yAxisScale(d["Per Capita"]);
}
});
The result is not the intended one.
Could you please elaborate what went wrong?
Why are the bars "pushed" to the right?
Why are the years in the x-axis displayed without the first integer?
I am using Version 3 of d3.
Thank you very much!
The main problem here is that this...
"Year": 1751
... is not a date object. That's just a number. If you look at your axis you'll realise that.
So, you have to parse it. For instance:
const format = d3.time.format("%Y");
dataset.forEach(function(d){
d.Year = format.parse(d.Year);
});
Also, when you do this...
var minDate = dataset[0].Year;
var maxDate = dataset[dataset.length - 1].Year;
... you're blindly trusting that the array is sorted. Don't do that. Instead, do:
var minDate = d3.max(dataset, function(d){
return d.Year
});
var maxDate = d3.min(dataset, function(d){
return d.Year
});
Or, if you want to use destructuring:
var [minDate, maxDate] = d3.extent(dataset, d => d.Year);
Finally, now that you have a proper scale, don't use the indices for the x position. Use the scale:
x: function(d) {
return xAxisScale(d.Year);
},
This covers the problem regarding the x position. For fixing the y position, just set a proper margin.
I'm following the D3 tutorial but adding the axis makes half of my data disappear and I don't understand why. I thought that maybe the axis is taking up the space that's meant for the data so I added an extra 10px to the transform property, but it doesn't make any difference.
var GIST = "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/charisseysabel/f8f48fbf11b8a1b0d62cbe2d6bdc2aa6/raw/2ead1537adb822fbd59a666afd5334d525480a13/nano-2017.tsv"
var width = 1000,
height = 550,
margin = {top: 20, right: 30, bottom: 30, left: 4};
var y = d3.scaleLinear()
.range([height, 0]);
var yScale = d3.scaleLinear()
.range([height, 0]);
var xScale = d3.scaleLinear()
.range([0, width]);
var xAxis = d3.axisLeft(yScale);
var yAxis = d3.axisBottom(xScale);
var chart = d3.select(".chart")
.attr("width", width)
.attr("height", height);
chart.append("g")
.attr("transform", "translate(10, 0)")
.call(xAxis);
chart.append("g")
.attr("transform", "translate(0, 540)")
.call(yAxis);
d3.tsv(GIST, type, function(error, data) {
y.domain([0, d3.max(data, function(d) { return d.value; })]);
var barWidth = width / data.length;
var bar = chart.selectAll("g")
.data(data)
.enter().append("g")
.attr("transform", function(d, i) {
return "translate(" + ((i * barWidth) + 10) + ",0)"; }
);
bar.append("rect")
.attr("y", function(d) { return y(d.value); })
.attr("height", function(d) { return height - y(d.value); })
.attr("width", barWidth - 1);
bar.append("text")
.attr("x", (barWidth / 2) - 2)
.attr("y", function(d) { return y(d.value) + 3; })
.attr("dy", ".75em")
.text(function(d) { return d.value; });
});
function type(d) {
d.value = +d.value;
return d;
}
When you do this...
var bar = chart.selectAll("g").etc...
... you're selecting group elements that already exist in the SVG, which are the axes, and binding your data to them.
There are two easy solutions:
Move your code that creates the axes to the bottom of the d3.tsv, that is, after you have appended the bars.
Select something that doesn't exist, like
var bar = chart.selectAll(null).etc. To read more about the logic behind selectAll(null), have a look at my answer here.
I'm having issues getting D3v4 to show lines on a chart. I might be getting v3/v4 syntax confused.
I have the data nested as there are 5 lines.
// Chart Canvas Dimentions
var margin = {top: 20, right: 80, bottom: 30, left: 50};
var width = 900;
var height = 600;
// Time Parse
var parseTime = d3.time.format("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S");
// Chart Axis Sizes
yAxisMax = Math.max.apply(Math, data.map(function(o){return o.value;})) * 1.1;
yAxisMin = Math.min.apply(Math, data.map(function(o){return o.value;})) - (this.yAxisMax * 0.1);
xAxisMax = width * 0.99;
console.log('yAxisMax: '+yAxisMax);
console.log('yAxisMin: '+yAxisMin);
console.log('xAxisMax: '+xAxisMax);
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");
chartLine = d3.svg.line()
.x(function(d){ return x(parseTime(d.date)) })
.y(function(d){ return y(d.value) })
.interpolate("basis");
// Nest Entries by Name (Groups the Lines by Names - Seperate Entities)
var nestedData = d3.nest()
.key(function(d) { return d.name; })
.entries(data);
// D3 Chart - This is the Context to Work With
var context = d3.select("#chartContainer").append("svg")
.attr("width", width + margin.left + margin.right)
.attr("height", height + margin.top + margin.bottom)
.attr("id", "D3lineChart")
.attr("class", "D3EventScopeContainer")

.attr('transform', 'translate(70,0)')
.attr('class', 'interactiveHoverLine hidden')
.attr("x1", 0).attr("x2", 0)
.attr("y1", 0).attr("y2", height);
// Loop through data
nestedData.forEach(function(d,i) {
console.dir(d)
console.dir(d.values)
// Add Line
context
.append('g')
.attr('class', 'lineGroup')
.append('path')
.attr('transform', 'translate(70,0)')
.attr('class', 'chartLinesGroup tag'+ d.key.replace(/\s+/g, '').replace('.', '').replace('-', '').toLowerCase())
.style("stroke", function() { return d.color = color(d.key); }) // Add the colours dynamically
.style("stroke-opacity", 1)
//.attr('d', chartLine(d.values))
.on("mouseover", function() {
d3.select(this)
.style("stroke-width", 7.5)
})
.on("mouseout", function() {
d3.select(this)
.style("stroke-width", 2.5)
});
});
It fails when I enable the line
.attr('d', chartLine(d.values))
This function must not be formated correctly to use the data.
The error I get is - related to date processing:
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I'm essentially trying to get the the lines to show on the chart.
thanks
*** I get around the error message by adding .parse to the end of the time format line:
// Time Parse
var parseTime = d3.time.format("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S").parse;
Still nothing showing on the screen - div/svg has height/width set...
hummmmm
You need to read API;) But at first u must try :
var x = d3.scaleTime()
.range([0, width]);
var y = d3.scaleLinear()
.range([height, 0]);
var color = d3.scaleOrdinal(d3.schemeCategory10);
var xAxis = d3.axisBottom(x).tickFormat(d3.timeFormat("%H:%M:%S.%L"));
var yAxis = d3.axisLeft(y);
parseTime = d3.timeParse("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%L");
chartLine = d3.line()
.curve(d3.curveMonotoneX)
.x(function(d){ return x(parseTime(d.date)) })
.y(function(d){ return y(d.value) });
Hope its help
I have a barchart which is populated by values from a JSON variable. The chart is dynamic because the values are retrieved from an SQL query by doing a count. So my data gets fed back in like :
[{"Fruit":"Apple","COUNT( Fruit )":"12"},{"Fruit":"Orange","COUNT( Fruit )":"6"},{"Fruit":"Pear","COUNT( Fruit )":"1"},{"Fruit":"Blank","COUNT( Fruit )":"1"},{"Fruit":"Pineapple","COUNT( Fruit )":"1"},{"Fruit":"Kiwi","COUNT( Fruit )":"1"}]
For the most part my graphs seem to be displaying properly. However some are returning values that exceed the Y Axis, I dont think it's the values that are causing the issues I believe its the axis that isnt calculating the right height. For instance
If Orange count is 14, sometimes the Y axis stops at a number less than this and that column extends the graph.
By viewing it in google chrome developer console, I can see the height of the bar is
<rect id="Orange" y="-520px" x="94px" height="1040px" width="162"></rect>
which far extends my SVG height of 600px - Margins(top + bottom) of 80px!
Does anyone know why my Y Axis isn't getting the right Max value?
Code here:
var canv = document.getElementById("exportCanvas");
canv.width = screen.width;
var margin ={top:40, right:0, bottom:40, left:40},
width=screen.width - 250,
height=600-margin.top-margin.bottom;
var jsplit = jdata.split('"');
var keyX = jsplit[1];
var keyY = "";
var data = JSON.parse(jdata);
for (k in data[0]) {
if (k!=keyX) keyY=k;
}
console.log("keyX = " + keyX);
console.log(keyY);
console.log(data[0]);
// scale to ordinal because x axis is not numerical
var x = d3.scale.ordinal()
.domain(['Orange','Apple','Pear']) //Added this in temporarilly. this should be calculated from the data.
.rangeRoundBands([0, width], 0.25,0.25);
//scale to numerical value by height

var y = d3.scale.linear()

Apologies for commented out code, I have been playing with it alot to try and suss this out.
You need to recalculate y.domain() when your dataset refreshes. So when you update your data, you can try something like:
y.domain([0, d3.max(data, function(d){return d[keyY]})]);
chart.select(".y.axis")
.call(yAxis.scale(y));
Okay, I'm starting to get a little more familiar with D3 but am still a little hazy on some things. I'm now trying to draw grid lines but am realizing that I may be hacking away versus doing it correctly. I tried to add some gridlines, using a tutorial, but ended up with a lot of code that I seem to be jimmy rigging in order to get it to line up properly. I was wondering if anyone could point me to a better way of writing this...
The original code is this.
<script type="text/javascript">
//Width and height
var w = 800;
var h = 400;
var padding = 20;
var border=1;
var bordercolor='black';
var dataset = [
[5, 20], [480, 90], [250, 50], [100, 33], [330, 95],[-50,-100],[50,-45],
[410, 12], [475, 44], [25, 67], [85, 21], [220, 88],[-480, -467], [3,-90],[468,481]
];
// create scale functions
var xScale = d3.scale.linear()
.domain([d3.min(dataset, function(d) { return d[0]; }), d3.max(dataset, function(d) { return d[0]; })])
.range([padding, w - padding * 2]);
var yScale = d3.scale.linear()
.domain([d3.min(dataset, function(d) { return d[0]; }), d3.max(dataset, function(d) { return d[1]; })])
.range([h - padding, padding]);
var rScale = d3.scale.linear()
.domain( [-100, d3.max(dataset, function(d) { return d[1]; })] )
.range([2,5]);
//Create SVG element
var svg = d3.select("body")
.append("svg")
.attr("width", w)
.attr("height", h)
.attr("border",border)
;
//define X axis this is rly a function, remember, variables can hold functions in JS
var xAxis = d3.svg.axis()
.scale(xScale)
.orient("bottom")
.ticks(1)
.tickSize(-h, 0, 0)
; //Set rough # of ticks
//Define Y axis
var yAxis = d3.svg.axis()
.scale(yScale)
.orient("left")
.ticks(1)
.tickSize(-w, 0, 0)
;
//create the circles
svg.selectAll("circle")
.data(dataset)
.enter()
.append("circle")
.attr("cx", function(d) {
return xScale(d[0]);
})
.attr("cy", function(d) {
return yScale(d[1]);
})
.attr("r", 3);
// draw axes here
svg.append("g")
.attr("class", "axis") //assign "axis" class
.attr("transform", "translate(0," + (h - padding) +")")
.call(xAxis);
svg.append("g")
.attr("class", "axis") //assign "axis" class
.attr("transform", "translate(" + padding + ",0)" )
.call(yAxis);
// end draw axes here
</script>
and the code I added in the second link is here
var vis = svg.append("svg:g")
.attr("transform", "translate(20,0)")
var rules = vis.append("svg:g").classed("rules", true)
rules.append("svg:g").classed("grid x_grid", true)
.attr("transform", "translate(-20,"+h+")")
.call(d3.svg.axis()
.scale(xScale)
.orient("bottom")
.ticks(4)
.tickSize(-h,0,0)
.tickFormat("")
)
rules.append("svg:g").classed("grid y_grid", true)
.call(d3.svg.axis()
.scale(yScale)
.orient("left")
.ticks(5)
.tickSize(-w,0,0)
.tickFormat("")
)
rules.append("svg:g").classed("labels x_labels", true)
.attr("transform", "translate(-20,"+ h +")")
.call(d3.svg.axis()
.scale(xScale)

// .tickFormat(d3.time.format("%Y/%m"))
)

.call(d3.svg.axis()
.scale(yScale)
.orient("left")
.ticks(5)
.tickSubdivide(1)
.tickSize(0, 0, 0)
.tickFormat("")
)
Again, really appreciate any help
Assuming that you have Mike Bostock's standard margins defined and you have defined a linear scale for the y-axis the following code will create horizontal gridlines without using tickSize().
svg.selectAll("line.horizontalGrid").data(yScale.ticks(4)).enter()
.append("line")
.attr(
{
"class":"horizontalGrid",
"x1" : margin.right,
"x2" : width,
"y1" : function(d){ return yScale(d);},
"y2" : function(d){ return yScale(d);},
"fill" : "none",
"shape-rendering" : "crispEdges",
"stroke" : "black",
"stroke-width" : "1px"
});
I would suggest to use d3.svg.axis().scale() to tie up the grid to your coordinates. I drew a quick example based on your code: http://jsfiddle.net/temirov/Rt65L/1/
The gist is to use the existing scales, x and y, and to use ticks as grid. Since yAxis and xAxis are already defined we can just re-use them. Here is the relevant code:
//Draw a grid
var numberOfTicks = 6;
var yAxisGrid = yAxis.ticks(numberOfTicks)
.tickSize(w, 0)
.tickFormat("")
.orient("right");
var xAxisGrid = xAxis.ticks(numberOfTicks)
.tickSize(-h, 0)
.tickFormat("")
.orient("top");
svg.append("g")
.classed('y', true)
.classed('grid', true)
.call(yAxisGrid);
svg.append("g")
.classed('x', true)
.classed('grid', true)
.call(xAxisGrid);
You could use the ticks() function of your scale to get the tick values and then use them in a data call to draw the lines.
var ticks = xScale.ticks(4);
rules.selectAll("path.xgrid").data(ticks).enter()
.append("path")
.attr("d", function(d) {
return "M" + xScale(d) + " " + padding + "L" + xScale(d) + " " + (h-padding);
});
You may prefer using a line generator for the grid lines instead of creating the path manually. This works similarly for y grid lines, only that the y coordinate is constant and ranges from 0 to width of graph. You may need to adjust the start and end values to make it look "nice".
In the d3fc project we have created a gridlines component that renders in exactly the same way as the D3(v4) axis.
Here's an example of the usage:
var width = 500, height = 250;
var container = d3.select("#gridlines")
.append("svg")
.attr("width", width)
.attr("height", height);
var xScale = d3.scaleLinear()
.range([0, 100]);
var yScale = d3.scaleLinear()
.range([0, 100]);
var gridline = fc.annotationSvgGridline()
.xScale(xScale)
.yScale(yScale);
container.append("g")
.call(gridline);
Which renders as follows:
The spacing of the gridlines is determined by the ticks supplied by the associated axes.

Following #arete's idea, you can use the following to avoid re-drawing unnecessarily the gridline:
function createsGrid(data) {
var grid = gridLine.selectAll("line.horizontalGrid").data(scaleY.ticks());
grid.enter()
.append("line")
.attr("class","horizontalGrid");
grid.exit().remove();
grid.attr({
"x1":0,
"x2": width,
"y1": function (d) { return scaleY(d); },
"y2": function (d) { return scaleY(d); }
});
}
and define the following in your CSS file
line.horizonalGrid{
fill : none;
shape-rendering : crispEdges;
stroke : black;
stroke-width : 1.5px;
}
You could just use innerTickSize, instead of tickSize:
var xAxis = d3.svg.axis()
.scale(xScale)
.orient("bottom")
.ticks(1)
.innerTickSize(-h);
Use tickSizeInner()
// x axis
var x = d3.scaleLinear().range([0, width]).domain([0, 100000]);
svg
.append("g")
.call(d3.axisBottom(x).ticks(10).tickSizeInner(-height))
