I have been working on changing this block to v4 with my limited exposure to d3js.
The changes are made are;
"https://d3js.org/d3.v3.js" to "https://d3js.org/d3.v4.js"
.ease('linear') to .ease(d3.easeLinear)
which i understood further from the change readme here.
The changes results in the chart not being able to reach the cell.exit.transition() block when I tried to console.log the exit function, this is also evident as the grids do not exit and just append from new randomized data:
cell.exit().transition()
.delay(function(d, i) { return (n0 - i) * updateDelay; console.log(n0, n1);})
.duration(updateDuration)
.attr("width", 0)
.remove();
From the readme, there is no change in the transition methods but I am thinking this is due to the change in the select function. I am having trouble seeing what when wrong as there seems to be no errors within the console when I run this.
The problem here seems to be the infamous magic behaviour that was introduced by Mike Bostock (D3 creator) in D3 v2, and later removed in D3 v4.
According to Bostock:
D3 2.0 introduced a change: appending to the enter selection would now copy entering elements into the update selection [...] D3 4.0 removes the magic of enter.append. (In fact, D3 4.0 removes the distinction between enter and normal selections entirely: there is now only one class of selection.)

In your case, the solution is changing the update selection to this:
var cellUpdate = cell.selectAll("rect")
.data(d3.range(n1));
And then:
cellUpdate.exit()
//etc...
cellUpdate.enter()
.append("rect")
//etc...
Here is the updated bl.ocks: https://bl.ocks.org/GerardoFurtado/b0d66087d9888a2cac3a42b114e5e8c4/72a0e54de5ce8cba2c398b282d953dd5c2bcc66e
PS: for this to work in v4/5 (but not from v5.8 onwards) you have to change the text tween as well:
.tween("text", function() {
var self = this;
var i = d3.interpolateNumber(n0, n1);
return function(t) {
self.textContent = formatNumber(Math.round(i(t)));
};
});

I use d3.js v4 to build force-directed graph just like in the basic example. I've also created input field, where user can type the node name. Then I search the matching circle element like so:
findNode(name) {
let theNode = this.d3Svg.selectAll('circle').filter(function(d) {
return d.name == name;
});
}
After that I want to move viewport to the foundNode. How can I do that?
Tried this:
this.d3.zoom().translateTo(theNode, theNode.x, theNode.y);
but nothing happens. Here is what console.log('theNode: ',theNode) says:
I've also found similar question, but some older version of d3 is used there.
Here is the solution.
The following code brings the viewport to the center:
svg.transition()
.duration(750)
.call(zoom.transform, d3.zoomIdentity.translate([width / 2, height / 2]));
I'm trying to build kind of real time graph using D3.js. Code is available at https://plnkr.co/edit/hrawv8CTBIsJf2QWTBMb?p=preview.
The source data represent user authentication results from different organizations. For each organization there is a name, ok count and fail count. The graph should be dynamically (getting the data in loop) updated based on data.
The code is based on https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/3808234.
There are few problems and few things i'm not sure about.
exit function only selects the red bars based on data update:
// JOIN new data with old elements
// specify function for data matching - correct?
var boxes = svg.selectAll(".box").data(data, function(d) {
return d.inst_name;
});
// EXIT old elements not present in new data
// this works somehow strange
// it does select all red boxes
boxes.exit().transition(t).remove();
Why does exit() select only red bars and not all? From my point of understanding the d3 documentation exit() should only select such elements that do not have any new data. Shouldn't that be all bars in case of infinite loop and constant data file?
This obviously breaks the graph quite a lot (see plunker). I need the exit to select only bars, which are not available in data file anymore. See example below.
initial state of data file:
inst_name,ok,fail
inst1,24,-1
inst2,23,-3
...
updated state of data file:
inst_name,ok,fail
inst1,26,-1
inst14,22,-4
...
The bars (both blue and red) for inst2 from intial state should be removed (and replaced by data of inst14) when the data is updated. Why is this not working?
I've read, that new data are matched against older using index. I've specified that inst_name should be used:
var boxes = svg.selectAll(".box").data(data, function(d) {
return d.inst_name;
});
Is this necessary (I've used it everywhere when inserting data)?
Also the transition for removing the elements does not work. What is the problem?
I'm also not sure if specifying data is necessary when adding new bars:
var boxes = svg.selectAll(".box").data(data, function(d) {
return d.inst_name;
});
.....
// add new element in new data
svg.selectAll(".blue")
.data(data, function(d) { // is this necessary ?
return d.inst_name;
}) // use function for new data matching against inst_name, necessary?
.enter().append("rect")
.transition(t)
.attr("class", function(d) {
return "blue box "
})
.attr("x", function(d) {
return x(d.inst_name);
})
.attr("width", x.bandwidth())
.attr("y", function(d) {
return y(d.ok);
})
.attr("height", function(d) {
return height - y(d.ok + min);
})
Thanks for help.
EDIT
The underlying data get changed by script (this was not written clearly in the original post), so it can change independently of the graph state. The data should be only growing.
You've asked a lot of questions.
Why does exit() select only red bars and not all? From my point of understanding the d3 documentation exit() should only select such elements that do not have any new data. Shouldn't that be all bars in case of infinite loop and constant data file?
First, you build two sets of bars (blue [ok] and red [fail]). When you data bind these you give them the same key function, which identifies them by inst_name. You then do your data update, which now selects all the bars at once with:
svg.selectAll(".box")
You again data-bind with the same key function. Your data has 10 values in the array but you just selected 20 bars. The second 10 bars exit (the red ones) because to d3 they are not in your 10 data-points
The bars (both blue and red) for inst2 from intial state should be removed (and replaced by data of inst14) when the data is updated. Why is this not working?
I don't see that in your plunker, you are giving it the same data over and over.
Also the transition for removing the elements does not work. What is the problem?
You haven't given the transition anything to do. It'll run it, then at the end remove the rects. What you need is something for it to transition, like "height":
boxes.exit().transition(t).attr('height', 0).remove();
This will shrink them to 0 height.
So how do we clean up your code?
First, I would operate on g elements each one paired to an item in your data array. You then place both bars in the g that belong to that data point. Take a look here, I've started to clean-up your code (incomplete, though, hopefully it gets you going).
I have a reusable module based on the d3.layout.pack graph example.
I added a transition on exit on the node elements but it seems like the transition works only for one data set and it's not working for the other.
Basically, to simulate the data update I am calling a function with setInterval this way:
function test(){
d3.select('#vis')
.datum(data2)
.call(cluster);
}
setInterval(test, 1500);
...and I added the transition this way:
c.exit().transition()
.duration(700)
.attr("r", function(d){ return 0; })
.remove();
You can find the data update section in the bottom of the file and find the exit transition handling on line 431.
Could you please check what's wrong?
The behaviour you're seeing is caused by the way data is matched in D3. For one of the data sets, all the data elements are matched by existing DOM elements and hence the exit selection is empty -- you're simply updating position, dimensions, etc. of the existing elements.
The way to "fix" this is to tell D3 explicitly how you want data to be matched -- for example by changing line 424 to
.data(nodes, function(d) { return d.name; });
which will compare the name to determine whether a data element is represented by a DOM element. Modified jsfiddle here.
I have a D3.js multiline graph with circles added on every path peak. When I update my graph, the paths update just fine with the new data but the circles don't seem to get updated at all. Here's my code: http://jsbin.com/eMuQOHoV/3/edit
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
You need to update the data point circles in the same way that you've created them. In particular, you're using a nested selection when creating them, but not when updating. This means that the data won't get matched correctly on update and nothing happens.
The code for the update should look like this.
var sel = svg.selectAll('.series')
.data(sources);
sel.select('path')
.transition()
// etc
// update circles
sel.selectAll('.datapoint')
.data(function (d) {
return d.values;
})
// etc

I want to be able to change the radius of each node in my graph that i am creating using d3.js. However, i want to change the radius of each node, one at a time, and i want to able to control the delay between each change along with the sequence of the nodes.
For now this is what i have in terms of code:
var nodes = svg.selectAll(".node");
nodes.each(function() {
d3.select(this).
transition().
delay(100).
attr("r", "5")
});
You can replicate this simply by using the code at this link: http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4062045. The code that i have pasted above is simply an addition to the code at the aforementioned link.
When i run this, all the nodes in my graph transition simultaneously, i.e. grow in size (radius) simultaneously. I however want them to transition i.e. grow in size (radius), one at a time. I repeat that i want to be able to control:
the delay between the transition of each node and
the order of nodes that undergo the transitions.
Any pointers, tutorials, or even other stackoverflow answers would be great. I would ideally want some code examples.
The closest i have come to in terms of online references is this subsection of a tutorial on d3.js transitions: http://bost.ocks.org/mike/transition/#per-element. However, it lacks a concrete code example. I, being new to d3.js and javascript in general, am not able to pick it up without concrete code examples.
You can do this quite easily by calculating a delay based on each node's index. Mike Bostock has an example of such an implementation here. This is the relevant code:
var transition = svg.transition().duration(750),
delay = function(d, i) { return i * 50; };
transition.selectAll(".bar")
.delay(delay)
.attr("x", function(d) { return x0(d.letter); }); // this would be .attr('r', ... ) in your case
To control the order of the transition, all you would then have to do is sort the array so that the elements' indices reflect the animation flow you want. To see how to sort an array, refer to the documentation on JavaScript's array.sort method and also see the Arrays > Ordering section of the D3 API reference.
