Rotating Text on a scatter plot - javascript

Using this example, I have been able to create D3's scatter plot with text labels with the scatter points.
I would like to rotate each label to a certain degree, however, when I attempt to do this, all of the text as a whole is rotated on one axis, not individual axis`.
Here is my code:
svg.selectAll("circle")
.data(data)
.enter()
.append('circle')
.attr('fill', '#4E5FF3')
.attr('stroke', 'none')
.attr('cx', d => { return x(Date.parse(d.date)) })
.attr('cy', d => { return y(d.totalValue) })
.attr('r', 3);
svg.selectAll("text")
.data(data)
.enter()
.append('text')
.attr('x', d => { return x(Date.parse(d.date)) })
.attr('y', d => { return y(d.totalValue) })
.text(d => {
return 'Total: ' + d.totalValue + ' - Month: ' + d.monthValue;
})
.attr('transform','rotate(5)translate(0, 0)');
How do I transform each label on an individual axis, rather than all of the labels on one axis?

Instead of using a single value for rotate...
.attr('transform','rotate(5)translate(0, 0)');
...which will rotate the text around the origin (0,0), use the texts' positions in the rotate function, as the optional x and y parameters:
rotate(<a> [<x> <y>])
In the bl.ocks you linked, that would be (using commas):
.attr('transform',function(d){
return "rotate(5," + xScale(d[0]) + "," + yScale(d[1]) + ")"
});
Here is the updated bl.ocks: https://bl.ocks.org/GerardoFurtado/45fa2b852f8b0f229923c6dc1cdfa2b6/cf0917330d3d2775efd83a83c733c544d0338ea2

d3 raise() not working on specific selection

I have a linechart made with d3, but due to the shape of the data, the lines and dots (I'm using dot's over the lines for each specific data point) usually end up being in top of each other.
To counter this problem, I ended giving opacity 0.4 to the lines and dots, and when you hover over a line, the lines and dots of this specific line of data pops out, and sets it's opacity to 1.
My problem is: I'm using the .raise() funcion to make them pop out and stand over the rest of the lines and dots, the function is working only with my lines selection and not with my dots selection, and I don't know why.
My code:
// draw the data lines
const lines = svg.selectAll('.line')
.data(this.data)
.enter()
.append('path')
.attr('class', 'data.line')
.attr("fill", "none")
.attr("stroke", d => colors(d.key))
.attr("stroke-linejoin", "round")
.attr("stroke-linecap", "round")
.attr("stroke-width", 2.5)
.attr('stroke-opacity', 0.4)
.attr('d', d => line(d.values))
.on('mouseenter', d => {
// Highlight them
let myCircles = circles.selectAll('.circle');
lines.attr('stroke-opacity', b => {
return b.key === d.key ? 1 : 0.4;
});
myCircles.attr('fill-opacity', b => {
return b[this.typeIdentifier] === d.key ? 1 : 0.4;
});
// Bring them to the front
myCircles = circles.selectAll('.circle')
.filter(b => b[this.typeIdentifier] === d.key);
const myLines = lines.filter(b => b.key === d.key);
myLines.raise();
myCircles.raise();
});
// draw the circles
const circles = svg.selectAll('.circle')
.data(this.data)
.enter()
.append('g');
circles.selectAll('.circle')
.data(d => d.values)
.enter()
.append('circle')
.attr('class', 'circle')
.attr('stroke', 'white')
.attr('stroke-width', 1)
.attr('r', 6)
.attr('fill', d => colors(d[this.typeIdentifier]))
.attr('fill-opacity', 0.4)
.attr('cx', d => x(d[this.xAxisValue]) + x.bandwidth() / 2)
.attr('cy', d => y(d[this.yAxisValue]))
.on('mouseenter', (d, b, j) => {
tooltip.raise();
tooltip.style("display", null);
tooltip.select("#text1").text(d[this.typeIdentifier])
.attr('fill', colors(d[this.typeIdentifier]));
tooltip.select('#text4').text(d[this.yAxisValue]);
tooltip.select('#text5').text(d[this.xAxisValue]);
const tWidth = tooltip.select('#text1').node().getComputedTextLength() > 60 ? tooltip.select('#text1').node().getComputedTextLength() + 20 : 80;
tooltipRect.attr('width', tWidth);
const xPosition = d3.mouse(j[b])[0];
const yPosition = d3.mouse(j[b])[1];
if (xPosition + tWidth + 35 < this.xWIDTH) { // display on the right
tooltip.attr("transform", `translate(${xPosition + 15}, ${yPosition - 25})`);
} else { // display on the left
tooltip.attr("transform", `translate(${xPosition - tWidth - 15}, ${yPosition - 25})`);
}
})
.on('mouseleave', d => {
tooltip.style("display", "none");
})
So, when you hover the mouse over a line, this should bring the line and dots associated to it to the front, with opacity 1, but for some reason, it's only working on the lines selection, and not on the myCircles selection. The selection is not empty, and I've been printing them all along to test it out. Also, I've tried to bring the circles one by one (with singular selections, and with raw elements) to the front using the .raise() method, and it's not working eiter.
Why is it not working? Could it have to do with the tooltip on hover over the circles? Am I doing something wrong and not seeing it?
Actually, selection.raise() is working. The problem here is just the tree structure of your SVG: all the circles for a given line belong to a <g> element.
If you look at the docs, you'll see that selection.raise():
Re-inserts each selected element, in order, as the last child of its parent.
The emphasis above is mine: the key work here is parent. So, what you want is to raise the <g> element that contains the selected circles above the other <g> elements for the other circles, not the circles inside their <g> parent.
In your case, it's as simple as changing...
myCircles = circles.selectAll('.circle').filter(etc...)
...to:
myCircles = circles.filter(etc...)
Now, myCircles is the selection with the <g> element, which you can raise. Pay attention to the filter function: as you didn't share your data structure I don't know if the data array for the <g> elements (that is, this.data) contains the key property. Change it accordingly.
Here is a demo:
We have a set of circles for each line, each set inside their own <g> parent. Only the left circles are separated, all other circles are draw one over the other on purpose. When you hover over a circle (use the ones on the left) its <g> container is raised, in this case using...
d3.select(this.parentNode).raise()
..., so all circles are visible:
const svg = d3.select("svg");
const scale = d3.scaleOrdinal(d3.schemeSet1);
const lineGenerator = d3.line()
.x(function(d) {
return d.x
})
.y(function(d) {
return d.y
})
const data = d3.range(5).map(function(d) {
return {
key: d,
values: d3.range(5).map(function(e) {
return {
x: 50 + 100 * e,
y: e ? 150 : 50 + 50 * d
}
})
}
});
const lines = svg.selectAll(null)
.data(data)
.enter()
.append("path")
.attr("d", function(d) {
return lineGenerator(d.values);
})
.style("fill", "none")
.style("stroke-width", "3px")
.style("stroke", function(d) {
return scale(d.key)
});
const circleGroups = svg.selectAll(null)
.data(data)
.enter()
.append("g");
const circles = circleGroups.selectAll(null)
.data(function(d) {
return d.values
})
.enter()
.append("circle")
.attr("r", 20)
.attr("cx", function(d) {
return d.x
})
.attr("cy", function(d) {
return d.y
})
.style("fill", function(d) {
return scale(d3.select(this.parentNode).datum().key)
});
circles.on("mouseover", function(d) {
const thisKey = d3.select(this.parentNode).datum().key;
lines.filter(function(e) {
return e.key === thisKey;
}).raise();
d3.select(this.parentNode).raise();
})

How redraw labels in D3 maps?

I am following two tutorials to make a map in TOPOJson :
Display countries, borders and cities (dot & labels). Tutorial here.
Move and zoom the map. Tutorial here.
I am able to display the pan, to pan, to zoom, but the names of the cities are not redrawn.
var path = d3.geo.path()
.projection(projection)
.pointRadius(2);
/* What's hapenning here ? */
var svg = d3.select("#vis").append("svg:svg")
.attr("width", width)
.attr("height", height)
.call(d3.behavior.zoom().on("zoom", redraw));
/* Format projected 2D geometry appropriately for SVG or Canvas. */
d3.json("uk.json", function(error, uk) {
svg.selectAll(".subunit")
.data(topojson.feature(uk, uk.objects.subunits).features)
.enter().append("path")
.attr("class", function(d) { return "subunit " + d.id; })
.attr("d", path);
svg.append("path")
.datum(topojson.mesh(uk, uk.objects.subunits, function(a, b) { return a !== b && a.id !== "IRL"; }))
.attr("d", path)
.attr("class", "subunit-boundary");
svg.append("path")
.datum(topojson.mesh(uk, uk.objects.subunits, function(a, b) { return a === b && a.id === "IRL"; }))
.attr("d", path)
.attr("class", "subunit-boundary IRL");
svg.append("path")
.datum(topojson.feature(uk, uk.objects.places))
.attr("d", path)
.attr("class", "place");
svg.selectAll(".place-label")
.data(topojson.feature(uk, uk.objects.places).features)
.enter().append("text")
.attr("class", "place-label")
.attr("transform", function(d) { return "translate(" + projection(d.geometry.coordinates) + ")"; })
.attr("x", function(d) { return d.geometry.coordinates[0] > -1 ? 6 : -6; })
.attr("dy", ".35em")
.style("text-anchor", function(d) { return d.geometry.coordinates[0] > -1 ? "start" : "end"; })
.text(function(d) { return d.properties.name; });
svg.selectAll(".subunit-label")
.data(topojson.feature(uk, uk.objects.subunits).features)
.enter().append("text")
.attr("class", function(d) { return "subunit-label " + d.id; })
.attr("transform", function(d) { return "translate(" + path.centroid(d) + ")"; })
.attr("dy", ".35em")
.text(function(d) { return d.properties.name; });
});
function redraw() {
// d3.event.translate (an array) stores the current translation from the parent SVG element
// t (an array) stores the projection's default translation
// we add the x and y vales in each array to determine the projection's new translation
var tx = t[0] * d3.event.scale + d3.event.translate[0];
var ty = t[1] * d3.event.scale + d3.event.translate[1];
projection.translate([tx, ty]);
// now we determine the projection's new scale, but there's a problem:
// the map doesn't 'zoom onto the mouse point'
projection.scale(s * d3.event.scale);
// redraw the map
svg.selectAll("path").attr("d", path);
// redraw the labels
svg.selectAll(".place-label");
// redraw the x axis
xAxis.attr("x1", tx).attr("x2", tx);
// redraw the y axis
yAxis.attr("y1", ty).attr("y2", ty);
}
I have tried to add this line :
svg.selectAll(".place-label").attr("d", path);
in the redraw function but it did not worked.
Could you tell me which line should I add to refresh their positions ?
Here is my live code : Plunker live example & code
To make the labels move along with the map you need to do this:
On redraw function
svg.selectAll(".place-label")[0].forEach( function(d){
var data = d3.select(d).data()[0];//this will give you the text location data
d3.select(d).attr("transform", "translate("+projection(data.geometry.coordinates)+")" )//pass the location data here to get the new translated value.
});
For subunits do:
svg.selectAll(".subunit-label")
.attr("transform", function(d) { return "translate(" + path.centroid(d) + ")"; })
Working example here
Hope this works!

d3.js text rotate issue, numbers display reverse

I'm using d3 text to draw some numbers, and use rotate to change the position, but it seems it changes more than I expect, as in the screenshot, how to let the left side numbers reverse, I think it may like 3D rotate, I don't know how to solve it , or the text I draw is wrong.
g.selectAll('text')
.data(sumArr)
.enter()
.append('text')
.text(function(d){
return d;
})
.style('fill', '#aeaeae')
.attr('x', function(d){
console.log(d, x(d))
return x(d) + R + 10;
})
.attr('y', 12 * SCALE)
.attr('font-size', 12 * SCALE)
.attr('transform', function(d,i){
return 'rotate(' + (300/30 * i - 125) + ')';
});

How to break a line in d3.axis.tickFormat?

I want to write a function, that returns a tick label with two lines of text. As I can see, an svg text tag is used for text labels. Is there a way to add tspan there or something?
You can access the elements created by the axis: Demo
d3.select('svg')
.append('g')
.attr('transform', 'translate(180, 10)')
.call(xAxis)
.selectAll('text') // `text` has already been created
.selectAll('tspan')
.data(function (d) { return bytesToString(d); }) // Returns two vals
.enter()
.append('tspan')
.attr('x', 0)
.attr('dx', '-1em')
.attr('dy', function (d, i) { return (2 * i - 1) + 'em'; })
.text(String);
Also, you'll have to set .tickFormat to '' on the axis.

How to set the label for each vertical axis in a parallel coordinates visualization?

I'm new to d3.js (and stackoverflow) and I'm currently working through the parallel coordinates example. I'm currently using a 2d array named 'row' for the data. Above each vertical axis is the label '0' or '1' or '2', etc. However, I'd like each vertical axis to be labeled with the text in row[0][i]. I believe the numbers 0,1,2 are coming from the datum. Any suggestions on how I may use the labels in row[0][i] instead? I suspect I'm doing something wrong that's pretty basic. Here's the relevant code. Thanks !
// Extract the list of expressions and create a scale for each.
x.domain(dimensions = d3.keys(row[0]).filter(function (d, i) {
return row[0][i] != "name" &&
(y[d] = d3.scale.linear()
.domain(d3.extent(row, function (p) { return +p[d]; }))
.range([height, 0]));
}));
// Add a group element for each dimension.
var g = svg.selectAll(".dimension")
.data(dimensions)
.enter().append("g")
.attr("class", "dimension")
.attr("transform", function (d) { return "translate(" + x(d) + ")"; });
// Add an axis and title.
g.append("g")
.attr("class", "axis")
.each(function (d) { d3.select(this).call(axis.scale(y[d])); })
.append("text")
.attr("text-anchor", "middle")
.attr("y", -9)
.text(String);//.text(String)
If you only have a controlled set of Axis (like three axis), you may just want to set them up, individually, as follows...
svg.append("text").attr("class","First_Axis")
.text("0")
.attr("x", first_x_coordinate)
.attr("y", constant_y_coordinate)
.attr("text-anchor","middle");
svg.append("text").attr("class","Second_Axis")
.text("1")
.attr("x", first_x_coordinate + controlled_offset)
.attr("y", constant_y_coordinate)
.attr("text-anchor","middle");
svg.append("text").attr("class","Third_Axis")
.text("2")
.attr("x", first_x_coordinate + controlled_offset*2)
.attr("y", constant_y_coordinate)
.attr("text-anchor","middle");
However, if you have dynamically placed axis that rely on the data, you may want to place the axis info using a function that holds the y coordinate constant while determining the x coordinate based on a fixed "offset" (i.e. data driven axis placement). For example...
svg.append("text")
.attr("class",function(d, i) {return "Axis_" + i; })
.text(function(d,i) {return i; })
.attr("x", function(d, i) { return (x_root_coordinate + x_offset_value*i); })
.attr("y", constant_y_coordinate)
.attr("text-anchor","middle");
I hope this helps.
