How to handle collisions in Beeswarm plot in d3?

I've been playing around with this example here for a little while. What I'm trying to do is highlight a single node/circle in the plot (by making it larger with a border; later I want to add text or a letter inside it too).
Currently, I've made the circle for Bhutan larger in the plot like the following:
.attr("r",
function(d){return ( d.countryName === "Bhutan" ? r + 4 : r);})
.attr("stroke", function(d){if (d.countryName==="Bhutan"){return "black"}})
However, it overlaps with the other circles. What would be the best approach to avoid these collisions/overlaps? Thanks in advance.

I tried the following to add a letter inside the bhutan circle
//find bhutan circle and add a "B" to it
countriesCircles
.data(data)
.enter().append("text")
.filter(function(d) { return d.countryName === "Bhutan"; })
.text("B");

This is a slightly different problem than in this question here: How to change the size of dots in beeswarm plots in D3.js
You have a few options that I can think of:
Set the forceCollide to be your largest possible radius * 1.33, e.g. (r + 4) * 1.33. This will prevent overlapping, but spread things out a lot and doesn't look that great.
Add the radius property to each entry in your array and make the collide work based off that, which will look a bit better but not perform as awesomely for large sets.
Here's an example of how to do that:
...
d3.csv("co2bee.csv", function(d) {
if (d.countryName === "Bhutan") {
d.r = r + 4;
} else {
d.r = r;
}
return d;
}, function(error, data) {
if (error) throw error;
var dataSet = data;
...
var simulation = d3.forceSimulation(dataSet)
...
.force("collide", d3.forceCollide(function(d) { return d.r * 1.33; }))
...
countriesCircles.enter()
.append("circle")
.attr("class", "countries")
.attr("cx", 0)
.attr("cy", (h / 2)-padding[2]/2)
.attr("r", function(d){ return d.r; })
....
Use the row function in d3.csv to add a property to each member of the array called r, and check the country name to determine which one gets the larger value. Then use that value wherever you need to mess with the radius.
I guess it would've been possible to check the country name everywhere the radius was impacted (e.g. .force("collide", d3.forceCollide(function(d) { return d.countryName === "Bhutan" ? (r + 4) * 1.33 : r * 1.33; }), etc.). This feels a bit cleaner to me, but it might be cleaner still by abstracting out the radius from the data entries themselves...

D3 map, 'd' attribute

(sorry for my english bad level)
Hi I'm using D3 for the first time with mithril js. The map is ok but I have a problem with colors of provinces and it comes from the 'd' attribute to get the id of provinces.The attribute is undefined and I don't understand what is 'd' exactly. is mithril the problem? is there an other way to get 'd' attribute?
controller.map = function(el){
var width = 1160;
var height = 960;
var scale = 10000;
var offset = [width / 2, height / 2];
var center = [0, 50.64];
var rotate = [-4.668, 0];
var parallels = [51.74, 49.34];
var projection = d3.geo.albers()
.center(center)
.rotate(rotate)
.parallels(parallels)
.scale(scale)
.translate(offset)
;
var path = d3.geo.path()
.projection(projection)
;
var svg = d3.select(el).append("svg")
.attr("width",width)
.attr("height",height)
;
d3.json("belprov.json",function(error,be){
if (error) return console.error(error);
var bounds = path.bounds(topojson.feature(be, be.objects.subunits));
var hscale = scale*width / (bounds[1][0] - bounds[0][0]);
var vscale = scale*height / (bounds[1][1] - bounds[0][1]);
scale = (hscale < vscale) ? hscale : vscale;
offset = [width - (bounds[0][0] + bounds[1][0])/2,
height - (bounds[0][1] + bounds[1][1])/2];
var centroid = d3.geo.centroid(topojson.feature(be, be.objects.subunits));
center = [0, centroid[1]];
rotate = [-centroid[0],0];
projection = d3.geo.albers()
.center(center)
.rotate(rotate)
.parallels(parallels)
.scale(scale)
.translate(offset);
svg.selectAll(".province")
.data(topojson.feature(be, be.objects.provinces).features)
.enter().append("path")
.attr("class", function(d) { return "province " + d.id })
.attr("d", path)
;
})
};

The "d" attribute in a path object defines the successive coordinates of the points through which the path has to go (it also gives indication about whether the path should use bezier curves, straight lines, etc.). See some documentation here.
Be careful: in d3, d is often used as a parameter for anonymous functions representing the data currently binded to the current element. So the two are completely different things.
Here, your line
.attr("d", path)
should probably look more like
.attr("d", function(d){return d.path})
i.e., take the field path within the data elements.

You can do something like this to color diffrent paths:
//make a color scale
var color20 = d3.scale.category20();
//your code as you doing
//on making paths do
svg.selectAll(".province")
.data(topojson.feature(be, be.objects.provinces).features)
.enter().append("path")
.attr("class", function(d) { return "province " + d.id })
.style("fill", function(d){return color(d.id);})//do this to color path based on id.
.attr("d", path)

Unable to get zoom by dragging a rectangle over a d3 series chart to work properly

I am trying to get zoom to work by dragging a rectangle over my series plot to identify the interval of zooming. Here is my plunkr
http://plnkr.co/edit/isaHzvCO6fTNlXpE18Yt?p=preview
You can see the issue by drawing a rectangle with the mouse over the chart - The new chart overshoots the boundary of the X and Y axes. I thought my group under the svg would take care of the bounds of the series (path) but I am clearly mistaken. After staring at it for a long time, I could not figure it out. Please ignore the angular aspect of the plunkr. I think the issue is somewhere in the
//Build series group
var series = svgGroup.selectAll(".series")
.data(data)
.enter().append("g")
.attr("class", "series");
//Build each series using the line function
series.append("path")
.attr("class", "line")
.attr("d", function (d) {
return line(d.series);
})
.attr("id", function (d) {
//While generating the id for each series, map series name to the path element.
//This is useful later on for dealing with legend clicks to enable/disable plots
legendMap[d.name] = this;
//Build series id
return buildPathId(d.name);
})
.style("stroke", function (d) {
//Use series name to get the color for plotting
return colorFcn(d.name);
})
.style("stroke-width", "1px")
.style("fill", "none");
Any help with this is appreciated.
Thank you very much.

I think the method renderChartWithinSpecifiedInterval(minX, maxX, minY, maxY, pixelCoordinates) maybe has some problem there.
It seems the parameter like max_x passed in line 130 are a very big value like time seconds
var svg = renderChartWithinSpecifiedInterval(min_X, max_X, min_Y, max_Y, false);
max_X,min_X are value like 1415171404335
min_Y = 0, max_Y = 100
But in dragDrop call in line 192
function gEnd(d,i){
svg.selectAll(".zoom-rect").remove();
var svgGp = svg.select("g");
var groupTransform = d3.transform(svgGp.attr("transform"));
var xOffset = groupTransform.translate[0];
var yOffset = groupTransform.translate[1];
var xBegin = Math.min(xStart,xDyn) - xOffset;
var xEnd = Math.max(xStart,xDyn) - xOffset;
var yBegin = Math.min(yStart,yDyn) - yOffset;
var yEnd = Math.max(yStart,yDyn) - yOffset;
renderChartWithinSpecifiedInterval(xBegin, xEnd, yBegin, yEnd, true);
//It seems here the parameters values are all pixels
like xBegin = 100, xEnd = 200
}
hope it helps!

d3.js Two Dimensional Array Bar Chart

I am trying to make a bar chart containing 3 'groups' of data in d3.js. I have been able to implement the example from "Let's Make a Bar Chart" sample http://bost.ocks.org/mike/bar/2/, but am wondering how you would implement that with a 2 dimensional data set instead.
I'm having a bit of a tough time wrapping my head around what I feel should be a fairly straight forward process (select first index of 2d array -> iterate through that array and display the values of each element in bars -> select second index of array -> iterate through that array and display the value of each element in bars etc...), so examples would be hugely appreciated.
The code thus far is:
var data = [4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42];*/
var width = Math.max(500, innerWidth), height = Math.max(500, innerHeight), barHeight = 80;
var x = d3.scale.linear().domain([0, d3.max(data)]).range([0, width]);
var chart = d3.select(".chart").attr("width", width).attr("height", barHeight * data.length * 3);
var bar = chart.selectAll("g").data(data).enter().append("g").attr("transform", function(d, i) { return "translate(0," + i * barHeight + ")"; });
bar.append("rect").attr("width", x).attr("height", barHeight - 1);
bar.append("text").attr("x", function(d) { return x(d) - 3; }).attr("y", barHeight / 2).attr("dy", ".35em").text(function(d) { return d; });
however I would like to change the "data" variable to be:
var data = [[40,45,5],
[50,49,2],
[60,62,4],
[40,41,6],
[42,40,3],
[65,67,10],
[70,67,17],
[66,65,2],
[45,44,3],
[39,38,7],
[38,38,8],
[45,40,4],
[43,35,3],
[50,65,8],
[51,50,6]];

d3.js / svg - how to dynamically append text to my arcs

I am trying to complete the last bit of a d3 project which dynamically creates these blue arcs, over which I need to place arc text, as shown in this image:
The image above is something I've done by placing the arc text statically, through trial and error, but I want to place it dynamically, based on the blue arcs which sit beneath the text. This is the code that dynamically creates the arcs:
var groupData = data_group.selectAll("g.group")
.data(nodes.filter(function(d) { console.log(d.__data__.key); return (d.key=='Employers' ||{exp:channel:entries category="13" backspace="2"} d.key == '{url_title}' ||{/exp:channel:entries}) && d.children; }))
.enter().append("group")
.attr("class", "group");
arc_group.selectAll("g.arc")
.data(groupData[0])
.enter().append("svg:path")
.attr("d", groupArc)
.attr("class", "groupArc")
.style("fill", "#1f77b4")
.style("fill-opacity", 0.5);
The {exp:} content is preparsed data I'm pulling from my content management system in expression engine if it looks confusing.
So, I have my arcs. Now you'll notice in the groupData code block I have a console.log statement, that will give me the names I want to appear in the arc text:
console.log(d.__data__.key);
Now, the code I was using to place the arc text statically was this:
var arcData = [
{aS: 0, aE: 45,rI:radius - chartConfig.linePadding + chartConfig.arcPadding,rO:radius - chartConfig.linePadding + chartConfig.textPadding-chartConfig.arcPadding}
];
var arcJobsData = d3.svg.arc().innerRadius(arcData[0].rI).outerRadius(arcData[0].rO).startAngle(degToRad(1)).endAngle(degToRad(15));
var g = d3.select(".chart").append("svg:g").attr("class","arcs");
var arcJobs = d3.select(".arcs").append("svg:path").attr("d",arcJobsData).attr("id","arcJobs").attr("class","arc");
g.append("svg:text").attr("x",3).attr("dy",15).append("svg:textPath").attr("xlink:href","#arcJobs").text("JOBS").attr("class","arcText"); //x shifts x pixels from the starting point of the arc. dy shifts the text y units from the top of the arc
And in this above code, the only thing left that I should need to do is dynamically assign an ID to the arcs, and then reference that ID in the xlink:href attribute, as well as replace the text("JOBS") with text that pulls from d.data__key. Given the code above which dynamically creates the arcs, and given that I know how to dynamically create and retrieve the text I want to place in the arcs using d.__data.key, I should be able to finish this thing off, but I can't figure out how write code in d3 that will take the data and place it in the arcs. Can anybody help with this?

You should give this blog post on nested selections a read; I believe it'll explain what you're trying to do.
Here's the gist. When you add data to your selection, assign the selection to a variable:
var g = data_group.selectAll("g.group")
.data(nodes.filter(function(d) { /* stuff */ }));
That way, you can perform subselections on it, which will receive a single element of the data bound to your g selection. You can use this to add your arcs and text:
g.enter().append('group') // Question: Are you sure you mean 'group' here?
.attr('class', 'group')
g.selectAll('g.arc')
.data(function(d, i) { return d; })
enter().append('path')
// Setup the path here
g.selectAll('text')
.data(function(d, i) { return d; })
.enter().append('text')
.attr('text', function(d) { return d.__data__.key })
The functions that are being used to do data binding in the nested selections (i.e., the g.selectAll()s) are being passed a single element of the data attached to g as d, and i is its index.

Figured this out. Changed the structure of things a bit so it made a little more sense, but essentially what I did is this:
var groupData = data_group.selectAll("g.group")
.data(nodes.filter(function(d) { return (d.key=='Employers' ||{exp:channel:entries category="13" backspace="2"} d.key == '{url_title}' ||{/exp:channel:entries}) && d.children; }))
.enter().append("group")
.attr("class", "group"); //MH - why do we need this group - these elements are empty. Shouldn't this just be an array? Find out how to delete the svg elements without getting rid of the data, which is needed below.
var groupArc = d3.svg.arc()
.innerRadius(ry - 177)
.outerRadius(ry - 157)
.startAngle(function(d) { return (findStartAngle(d.__data__.children)-2) * pi / 180;})
.endAngle(function(d) { console.log(d.__data__.key); return (findEndAngle(d.__data__.children)+2) * pi / 180});
var arc_and_text = arc_group.selectAll("g.arc")
.data(groupData[0])
.enter().append("svg:g")
.attr("class","arc_and_text");
var arc_path = arc_and_text.append("svg:path")
.attr("d", groupArc)
.attr("class", "groupArc")
.attr("id", function(d, i) { return "arc" + i; })
.style("fill", "#1f77b4")
.style("fill-opacity", 0.5); //MH: (d.__data__.key) gives names of groupings
var arc_text = arc_and_text.append("text")
.attr("class","arc_text")
.attr("x", 3)
.attr("dy", 15);
arc_text.append("textPath")
.attr("xlink:href", function(d, i) { return "#arc" + i; })
.attr("class","arc_text_path")
.style("fill","#ffffff")
.text(function(d, i) { return d.__data__.key; });
D3 still mystifies me a bit, and I'm sure this code could be much improved, but it works.
