Play with the code

(Change some numbers, add/remove a rect, console log all the things)

Enter-append

  <svg></svg>
  <script>
    var rectWidth = 100;
    var height = 300;
    var data = [100, 250, 175, 200, 120];
    
    var svg = d3.select('svg');
    svg.selectAll('rect')

Wut, no rectangle elements?!

So what are we even selecting?

A: an empty selection

So how are those bars appearing?

Enter-append

  <svg></svg>
  <script>
    var rectWidth = 100;
    var height = 300;
    var data = [100, 250, 175, 200, 120];
    
    var svg = d3.select('svg');
    svg.selectAll('rect')
    	.data(data)
    	.enter().append('rect')
    	.attr('x', (d, i) => i * rectWidth)
    	.attr('y', d => height - d)
    	.attr('width', rectWidth)
    	.attr('height', d => d)
    	.attr('fill', 'blue')
    	.attr('stroke', '#fff');

Play with the code

(Try adding/removing some numbers, and make sure to console log all the things)

Scales & Axes

  d3.scaleLinear()
    .domain([min, max]) // input
    .range([min, max]); // output

scale: mapping from

data attributes (domain)

to display (range)

 

 

date → x-value

value → y-value

value → opacity

etc.

Scales & Axes

// get min/max
var min = d3.min(data, d => d[city]);
var max = d3.max(data, d => d[city]);

// or use extent, which gives back [min, max]
var extent = d3.extent(data, d => d[city]);

var yScale = d3.scaleLinear()
  .domain(extent)
  .range([height, 0]);
// continuous
d3.scaleLinear()
d3.scaleLog()
d3.scaleTime()

// ordinal
d3.scaleBand()

Scales I use often:

Scales & Axes

  var yAxis = d3.axisLeft()
    .scale(yScale); // pass in a scale

  d3.select('svg')
    // create a group element we can translate
    // so that the axis will be visible in SVG
    .append('g')
    .attr('transform', 'translate(40, 20)')
    // selection.call(yAxis) is the same as yAxis(selection)
    // and an axis will be created within the selection
    .call(yAxis);

Scales & Axes

Play with the code

(Play with different scales, try different tick values and formats)

Object constancy

update & exit

  // bars includes update selection
  var bars = svg.selectAll('rect')
    .data(data, d => d);

  // exit
  bars.exit().remove();

  // enter
  var enter = bars.enter().append('rect')
    .attr('width', rectWidth)
    .attr('stroke', '#fff');

  // enter + update
  bars = enter.merge(bars)
    .attr('x', (d, i) => i * rectWidth)
    .attr('y', d => height - d)
    .attr('height', d => d)
    .attr('fill', d => colors(d));

key function: controls which datum is assigned to which element

update & exit

  // bars includes update selection
  var bars = svg.selectAll('rect')
    .data(data, d => d);

  // exit
  bars.exit().remove();

  // enter
  var enter = bars.enter().append('rect')
    .attr('width', rectWidth)
    .attr('stroke', '#fff');

  // enter + update
  bars = enter.merge(bars)
    .attr('x', (d, i) => i * rectWidth)
    .attr('y', d => height - d)
    .attr('height', d => d)
    .attr('fill', d => colors(d));

Enter selection: chain attributes that don't depend on data

Combines 2 selections into one

Enter+update selection: chain attrs dependent on data

Transitions

Emphasize changes in state

(object constancy)

Transitions

var t = d3.transition()
  .duration(1000);
var svg = d3.select('svg');
   
var bars = svg.selectAll('rect')
  .data(data, d => d);

// exit
bars.exit().transition(t)
  .attr('y', height)
  .attr('height', 0)
  .remove();

// enter
var enter = bars.enter().append('rect')
  .attr('width', rectWidth)
  .attr('stroke', '#fff')
  .attr('y', height);
// enter + update
bars = enter.merge(bars)
  .attr('x', (d, i) => i * rectWidth)
  .attr('fill', d => colors(d))
  .transition(t)
  .attr('y', d => height - d)
  .attr('height', d => d);

Define transition, syncs animation everywhere it's used

Animate height down to 0 before removing

Animate remaining <rect>'s height to their next state

Transitions

var t = d3.transition()
  .duration(1000);
var svg = d3.select('svg');
   
var bars = svg.selectAll('rect')
  .data(data, d => d);

// exit
bars.exit().transition(t)
  .attr('y', height)
  .attr('height', 0)
  .remove();

// enter
var enter = bars.enter().append('rect')
  .attr('width', rectWidth)
  .attr('stroke', '#fff')
  .attr('y', height);
// enter + update
bars = enter.merge(bars)
  .attr('x', (d, i) => i * rectWidth)
  .attr('fill', d => colors(d))
  .transition(t)
  .attr('y', d => height - d)
  .attr('height', d => d);

go from state A to state B

Everything after .transition(): state B to transition to

Same attributes set before .transition(): state A to transition from

If attributes not specified for A, d3 extrapolates from default
