D3.js

D3.js is a JavaScript library for manipulating HTML based on data.

How to Use D3.js?

To use D3.js in your web page, add a link to the library:

<script src="//d3js.org/d3.v3.min.js"></script>

D3.js is easy to use.

This script selects the body element and appends a paragraph with the text "Hello World!":

d3.select("body").append("p").text("Hello World!");

Scatter Plot

Example

// Set Dimensions
const xSize = 500;
const ySize = 500;
const margin = 40;
const xMax = xSize - margin*2;
const yMax = ySize - margin*2;
// Create Random Points
const numPoints = 100;
const data = [];
for (let i = 0; i < numPoints; i++) {
  data.push([Math.random() * xMax, Math.random() * yMax]);
}
// Append SVG Object to the Page
const svg = d3.select("#myPlot") .append("svg") .append("g") .attr("transform","translate(" + margin + "," + margin + ")");
// X Axis
const x = d3.scaleLinear() .domain([0, 500]) .range([0, xMax]);
svg.append("g") .attr("transform", "translate(0," + yMax + ")") .call(d3.axisBottom(x));
// Y Axis
const y = d3.scaleLinear() .domain([0, 500]) .range([ yMax, 0]);
svg.append("g") .call(d3.axisLeft(y));
// Dots svg.append('g') .selectAll("dot") .data(data).enter() .append("circle") .attr("cx", function (d) { return d[0] } ) .attr("cy", function (d) { return d[1] } ) .attr("r", 3) .style("fill", "Red");
