Scale

If visualization is constructing “visual representations of abstract data to amplify cognition ”, then perhaps the most important concept in D3 is the scale, which maps a dimension of abstract data to a visual variable.

var scale = d3.scaleLinear()
              .domain([396, 166513])
              .range([10, 300])

scale(396)    // 10
