Displaying labels on horizontal chart with d3.js - javascript

I'm creating a simple chart with d3.js using the following code. Now suppose the var data is properly formatted (ex. "[20,15,15,40,10]"), the horizontal chart displays properly but I'd like to add some labels on the left and I'm a bit overwhelmed by d3.js . I was trying to insert an extra div containing the label before every other div representing and showing the data, but I can't understand how or if that's the proper way.
The result should look something like:
Label 1 |=============================40%==|
Label 2 |=================30%==|
Label 3 |======15%==|
and so on. The bars display just fine, but how do I add the labels on the left ? This is the piece of script that displays the bars (given a div with id 'chart' and the proper css).
chart = d3.select('#chart')
.append('div').attr('class', 'chart')
.selectAll('div')
.data(data).enter()
.append('div')
.transition().ease('elastic')
.style('width', function(d) { return d + '%'; })
.text(function(d) { return d + '%'; });
You'll find a working example here . So, how do I add labels on the left of every bar so that the user knows what every bar represents ?

I think your idea of appending a <div> containing a label before each bar is reasonable. To do so, you first need to append a <div> for each bar, then append a <div> containing the label, and finally append a <div> containing the bars. I've updated your example with a JSFiddle here, with the Javascript code below (some changes were also required to the CSS):
// Add the div containing the whole chart
var chart = d3.select('#chart').append('div').attr('class', 'chart');
// Add one div per bar which will group together both labels and bars
var g = chart.selectAll('div')
.data([52,15,9,3,3,2,2,2,1,1]).enter()
.append('div')
// Add the labels
g.append("div")
.style("display", "inline")
.text(function(d, i){ return "Label" + i; });
// Add the bars
var bars = g.append("div")
.attr("class", "rect")
.text(function(d) { return d + '%'; });
// Execute the transition to show the bars
bars.transition()
.ease('elastic')
.style('width', function(d) { return d + '%'; })

How to avoid overlapping and stack long text legends in D3 graph?

I have D3 graph base on Multi-line graph 3 with v7: Legend, this sample contains few and shorts legends for the graph. In my sample I want to increase the length for legends and stack the data if is necessary, I want to avoid overlapping in the legends,
https://bl.ocks.org/d3noob/d4a9e3e45094e89808095a47da19808d
dataNest.forEach(function(d,i) {
svg.append("path")
.attr("class", "line")
.style("stroke", function() { // Add the colours dynamically
return d.color = color(d.key); })
.attr("d", priceline(d.value));
// Add the Legend
svg.append("text")
.attr("x", (legendSpace/2)+i*legendSpace) // space legend
.attr("y", height + (margin.bottom/2)+ 5)
.attr("class", "legend") // style the legend
.style("fill", function() { // Add the colours dynamically
return d.color = color(d.key); })
.text(d.key);
});
There are two possible solutions I can think of, shown in this JSFiddle.
First, if it is acceptable that the legend is not part of the svg, then realize the legend with a simple unordered list in a container next to the svg. This is probably the best when there is a varying number of legend entries and there are no restrictions considering the styling via css. The browser takes care of varying lengths and does an automatic line break.
Second, if the legend has to be a part of the svg, one can use the getBBox()-method that determines the coordinates of the smallest rectangle around an object inside an svg.
In a first step select all the legend entries that have been rendered and get the bounding boxes:
const bbox = svg.selectAll(".legend")
.nodes()
.map(legend_entry => legend_entry.getBBox());
With this array and the width of the svg, we can calculate the positions for each legend entry:
bbox.reduce((pos, box) => {
let left, right, line;
if (pos.length === 0) {
left = 0;
line = 1;
} else {
/* The legend entry starts where the last one ended. */
left = pos[pos.length - 1].right;
line = pos[pos.length - 1].line;
}
/* Cumulative width of legend entries. */
right = left + box.width;
/* If right end of legend entry is outside of svg, make a line break. */
if (right > svg_width) {
line = line + 1;
left = 0;
right = box.width;
}
pos.push({
left: left,
right: right,
line: line,
});
return pos;
}, []);
Margins and paddings have to be included manually in the calculation of the positions. Of course, one could obtain the maximum width of all legend entries and make them all the same width with center alignment as in the d3noob example.
In the JSFiddle, I realized this repositioning by first rendering a hidden legend and then an additional one that is visible. It is of course possible to use only one legend, but I would not to take any chances that the process of repositioning is visible in the rendered document.

Not able to append label on edge of graph in d3.js

I am new to js & d3. I am trying to plot a graph with d3.js forced layout.
My purpose is to append labels ("XXX" & "OOO") on either sides of edges but it's not working.
Here the code snippet:
link.append('svg:text')
.attr('class', 'aEnd')
.text(function(d) { return "XXX"; });
link.append('svg:text')
.attr('class', 'zEnd')
.text(function(d) { return "OOO"; });
Here is the complete code I am working on.
JSFIDDLE : d3_graph_labelled_edge.js
Nesting a text element inside a line element is not allowed, as summed up here.
What you can do is wrapping the line elements inside g containers and append the link labels to them:
var glink = vis.selectAll("line.link")
.data(data.links)
.enter().append("svg:g");
var link = glink.append("svg:line")
[...]
glink.append('svg:text')
.attr('class', 'aEnd')
.text(function(d) { return "XXX"; });

D3 Adding dots to dynamic line chart

I have a scrolling line chart that is being updated in realtime as data comes in. Here is the js fiddle for the line chart. https://jsfiddle.net/eLu98a6L/
What I would like to do is replace the line with a dot graph, so each point that comes in would create a dot, and the scrolling feature is maintained.This is the type of chart I would like to create dow jones dot graph and ultimately I would like to remove the line underneath.
This is the code I have used to try and add dots to my graph.
g.append("g")
.selectAll("dot")
.data(4)
.enter("circle")
.attr("cx", "2")
.attr("cy", "2");
So far I haven't had any success. I'm very new to d3, so any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Based on your code an approach for this can be :
var circleArea = g.append('g'); /* added this to hold all dots in a group */
function tick() {
// Push a new data point onto the back.
data.push(random());
// Redraw the line.
/* hide the line as you don't need it any more
d3.select(this)
.attr("d", line)
.attr("transform", null);
*/
circleArea.selectAll('circle').remove(); // this makes sure your out of box dots will be remove.
/* this add dots based on data */
circleArea.selectAll('circle')
.data(data)
.enter()
.append('circle')
.attr('r',3) // radius of dots
.attr('fill','black') // color of dots
.attr('transform',function(d,i){ return 'translate('+x(i)+','+y(d)+')';});
/* here we can animate dots to translate to left for 500ms */
circleArea.selectAll('circle').transition().duration(500)
.ease(d3.easeLinear)
.attr('transform',function(d,i){
if(x(i )<=0) { // this makes sure dots are remove on x=0
d3.select(this).remove();
}
return 'translate('+x(i-1)+','+y(d)+')';
});
/* here is rest of your code */
// Slide it to the left.
d3.active(this)
.attr("transform", "translate(" + x(-1) + ",0)")
.transition()
.on("start", tick);
// Pop the old data point off the front.
data.shift();
}

D3.js - Donut chart click event with multiple rings

I have been trying to implement D3.js donut with multiple rings. But, the problem is with click event as it works fine with click on first ring but, show weird behavior while clicking on the second ring. Also it shows some weird problems with mousehover as well.
{"metaData":null,
"data":{graphDetails":[{"displayName":"MUW","name":"DEF","score":5},{"displayName":"ABC","name":"ABCD","score":15},{"displayName":"DEFA","name":"DEF","score":35}],"graphOneDetails":[{"displayName":"D1","name":"D1","score":11},{"displayName":"D2","name":"D2","score":25},{"displayName":"D3","name":"D3","score":22}]},"success":true}
//Define arc ranges
var arcText = d3.scale.ordinal().rangeRoundBands([0, width], .1, .3);
// Determine size of arcs
var arc = d3.svg.arc().innerRadius(radius - 75).outerRadius(radius - 25);
var arc_2= d3.svg.arc().innerRadius(radius - 25).outerRadius(radius);
//Create the donut pie chart layout
d3.layout.pie().value(function(d){
return d["score"];
}).sort(null);
//Append SVG attributes and append g to the SVG
d3.select("#donut-chart")
.attr("width", width)
.attr("height",height)
.append("g")
.attr("transform","translate("+radius+","+radius+")");
//Define Inner Circle
svg.append("circle")
.attr("cx",0)
.attr("cy",0)
.attr("r",280)
.attr("fill","#fff");
//Calculate SVG paths and fill in the colors
var div = d3.select("body")
.append("div")
.attr("class","tooltip")
.style("opactiy",0);
// Append First Chart
var g = svg.selectAll(".arc").data(pie($scope.categories))
.enter()
.append("g")
.attr("class","arc")
.on("click",function(d, i){
alert(d.data.name)
}).on("mouseover",function(d){
alert(d.data.name);
}).on("mouseout",function(d){
alert(d.data.name);
});
g.append("path")
.attr("d",arc)
.attr("fill","#024");
g.append("text")
.attr("transform", function(d){
return "translate("+arc.centroid(d)+")";
}).attr("dy",".35em")
.style("text-anchor","middle")
.attr("fill","#fff")
.text(function (d,i){
return d.data.displayName
});
g.selectAll(".arc text").call(wrap.arcText.rangeBand());
//Append Second Chart
g.data(pie($scope.divisions)).append("path")
.attr("d",arc_2)
.attr("fill","#eee");
g.on("click, function(d,i){
alert(d.data.name);
}).on("mouseover", function(d){
alert(d.data.name);
});
//Append text to second chart
g.append("text")
.attr("transform", function(d){
return "translate("+arc_2.centroid(d)+")";
}).attr("dy",".35em")
.style("text-anchor","middle")
.attr("fill","#fff")
.text(function (d,i){
return d.data.displayName
});
g.selectAll(".arc text").call(wrap.arcText.rangeBand());
In initial state it works fine, but, when I click one chart it displays the data correctly. And when I click inner chart and updates my json to
{"metaData":null,
"data":{graphDetails":[{"displayName":"MUW","name":"DEF","score":5},{"displayName":"DEFA","name":"DEF","score":35}],"graphOneDetails":[{"displayName":"D1","name":"D1","score":11},{"displayName":"D3","name":"D3","score":22}]},"success":true}
Then it display inner chart as a full donut but, the outer chart comes as an arc instead of full donut. Same problem is happening with the mouse over as while I am hovering over the second chart each and everything comes correctly as a tool-tip. (I didn't include the code of tool-tip). But, I mouse over on ABC and returns me DEFA. So, I think there must be something related to the way I have appended these two arcs.

Adding a span icon to a D3 bar chart

I'm working on a fairly basic bar chart where I'm trying to have a span icon that appears, anchored at the start of each bar. Which icon appears is dependent on the class of the bar. For example, if the bar is blue, I want a certain icon vs. if the bar is red.
I've appended and added the span which shows up in the console, but is not actually appearing any where in the chart.
I have the icons stored as spans in my css, one for each version of the value name that gets plugged in.
I've tried a variety of selections, ordering, etc. But can't get it to stick.
var bars = svg.selectAll('.bar')
.data(data)
.enter().append('g')
.attr('class', 'bar');
bars.append('rect')
var icons = svg.selectAll('rect')
.data(data)
.enter().append("span")
.attr("class", function(d, i) {
return "icon-" + d.value + "-right";
})
.attr('dx', -6)
.attr('dy', (bar_height / 2) +5)
.attr('text-anchor', 'start');
You should use foreignObject element to insert HTML into SVG.
Like so:
var icons = svg.selectAll('foreignObject').data(data);
icons.enter().append("foreignObject")
.attr("class", function(d) { return "icon-" + d.value + "-right"; })
.append("xhtml:body")
.append("xhtml:span");
Also you can use text element to add icons to the SVG:
var icons = svg.selectAll('text').data(data);
icons.enter().append("text")
.html("&#xf00d") // utf-8 character for the icon
