Check out this fiddle, using D3 and plotting a line graph against dates.
http://jsfiddle.net/T546B/172/
I want to plot some further data on my graph and want to know if its possible, I would ideally like the graph to look like below:-
The extra data is linear and doesn't have a price value and I want it to be included somewhere near the middle of the graph. The data array would be in a format along the lines of:-
var eventArray = [[startdate, enddate, name]];
I was basically wondering if this is possible, plotting two types of data, using different SVG elements on one graph. - not sure how to approach this problem. Any help appreciated!
you just need to set up a second line generator with the coordinates that you want for x and y

I want to place clusters like in this block:
https://bl.ocks.org/SpaceActuary/d6b5ca8e5fb17842d652d0de21e88a05
However, I want the clusters to be on a 2d grid rather than in a line and specify range in each dimension so that I can have e.g. a short but wide lattice.
I tried playing with scalePoint range but couldn't get it to return an array.
I could manually compute positions, but would be a lot cleaner if there's already a built-in way to do this in d3.
I am trying to plot a multiline d3 chart. I have created a method which should take a new dataset and try to plot it in the same d3 frame for new data update changes (possibly filters).
The first draw works fine but the next draw (mocked data: which is a slice of the previous data and few manipulated values) is not showing correct is crossing the x axis.
[See Image below]
Also the starting origin is missing a tick which should also be 2010 in this example
I also want to create few more lines if there is more datapoints in the future which should be dynamic. Current model is {date, actual, projected}, More expected is mean or difference which will only be shown on trigger.
Any help would be appreciated.

Please keep just one problem per question here at Stack Overflow. This answer will deal with problem #1, consider asking separate questions for the other problems.
The issue here is just your enter/update methodology, that is not correct and. Stick with the idiomatic D3, which is along these lines:
const update = this.svg.selectAll('.records')
.data(records);
const enter = update.enter().append('g')
.attr('class', 'records');
Then, you append new paths using enter and update those paths using update.
You can also ditch the groups and create enter/update/exit selections for the paths directly. That will make your code simpler.

I need to to represent a Parallel Coordinates with d3.js. First of all I have no idea if what I think is possible to achieve (and if the Parallel Coordinates is the right chart).
I will explain my idea: I take data from a database and I expose them in a JSON and I store them in an array of objects (with JavaScript).
This is an example of the data http://pastebin.com/DZcMqDMc.
I would like to represent along the abscissa axis years (though there are years repeating themself, as you can see from data example), while along the ordinate axis values of those years (values are in percent, ranging from 1 to 100).
I would like to represent two lines according to "value1" and "value2" property in the JSON file.
Is it possible? Is Parallel Coordinates the right chart?
The main problem I have right now is that I do not understand how to set right the two domains (abscissa and ordinate).
I am basing on the example Parellel Coordinates of Bostock.
For abscissa I am thinking something like that:
x.domain(
d3.extent(test,
function(d) {
return d.years;
}
)
);
It makes sense or?
Try a multi line chart.That might suit your need.
I am not sure what you are trying.
Simply do a line chart, and produce the vertical lines by formatting the ticks to go from 0 to height ( in your var xAxis code include .tickSize(0-height)). You will have to pick the right number of ticks, as in ticks(), so you just get the lines where you want them.
Check out Parcoords, a d3-based parallel coordinates library. For compatibility with d3 v5 see https://github.com/BigFatDog/parcoords-es which is based on the original Parcoords library (https://github.com/syntagmatic/parallel-coordinates) which relies on an outdated version of d3.
For examples and sample code, check out the following link: http://syntagmatic.github.io/parallel-coordinates/.
I would like to create a d3-based plot which graphs a plot within a tooltip. Unfortunately, I haven't found any examples on the web. Here is a sample JSON file.
[{"x":[0.4],
"y":[0.2],
"scatter.x":[0.54,0.9297,0.6024,-1.9224,2.2819],
"scatter.y":[0.4139,1.1298,-0.1119,2.3624,-1.1947]},
{"x":[0.1],
"y":[0.9],
"scatter.x":[-0.8566,-0.5806,-0.9326,0.8329,-0.5792],
"scatter.y":[-0.5462,-0.7054,1.0264,-3.4874,-1.0431]}]
The idea is to have a scatter plot for (x,y) coordinates first. However, when one mouses over a point, a different scatter plot within a tooltip appears based on [scatter.x, scatter.y] coordinates for that respective point.
I can do the scatter plots separately but have been struggling to put them together. Could anyone shed some light on this and/or provide a minimal example?
This was too long for a comment but I'm not certain if it's the answer you were looking for. One of the issues you might find is that your nested data is formatted differently-- one uses JSON objects with x and y, while the other uses two arrays of points.
My solution to this would be to create an extensible function:
function makeScatterPlot(elem, width, height, data, fill)
elem, width, height, and data are the core parameters: which element to attach the chart to, the size of the chart, and the data for the chart (in the JSON object format).
This function would generate all necessary items for the chart and add the chart to the provided element.
Then you want to bind to mouseover of your main chart, and in that function you'll have to do a bit of data modification to re-organize the two arrays into the JSON object structure.
function mainMouseover(d){
var newData = [];
for (var i = 0; i < d["scatter.x"].length; i++){
var t = {x: [0], y: [0]};
t.x[0] = d["scatter.x"][i];
t.y[0] = d["scatter.y"][i];
newData.push(t);
}
var newG = mainG.append("g").attr("transform", "translate(200,200)");
makeScatterPlot(newG, 100,100, newData, "red");
}
Of course, you would modify the translate to match wherever you want your tooltip to be.
Putting this all together you get the following (very crude) fiddle. Hover over either of the black dots to see the sub-chart. Obviously this needs quite a bit of work to be a solid example (i.e. remove the sub-chart on mouseout), but hopefully it will set you in the right direction.
If the tooltip chart is significantly different styling-wise compared to your main chart it may not be the best idea to use an extensible function, and you could just create another custom function instead.
I have a nvd3 line chart which displays a time series and can't get the ticks on the x axis right.
For longer time spans, it works as expected. But for shorter time spans (here: 12/31/05 to 01/01/06), the same date is displayed for multiple ticks:
Please have a look at the code for this chart on JSFiddle
I want the chart to only display ticks at data points, and not in between. Is that possible with a line chart? From my understanding, it is possible with d3, but I can't figure out if this functionality is exposed by nvd3.
I've tried explicitly setting the number of ticks with chart.xAxis.ticks() without success. The only thing that has any effect is explicitly setting the tick values with chart.xAxis.tickValues([...]), but I would prefer not having to calculate them myself.
The way to solve this in general is with custom multi-scale time formats. Note that this example itself will not work with NVD3 because it uses an older version of D3, the examples below will though.
The problem in your case is that the ticks aren't "clean" divisions of time and if you apply a multi-scale format, you get something like this. It always shows the more fine-grained format because anything else would involve a loss of precision.
You can however use a simple heuristic to show the date instead of the time if the hour is less than 3, which works reasonably well in your case. See here for an example. The proper way to do this would be to make your ticks clean divisions.
Which brings us to your actual question. There's no other way than to explicitly set .tickValues() for what you want to do, but you can compute the x positions in your data quite easily:
var xvalues = [],
tmp = data.map(function(e) {
return e.values.map(function(d) { return d[0]; });
});
xvalues.concat.apply(xvalues, tmp);
The code is not the prettiest because it's a nested structure, but fairly straightforward. Using this, you can set your tick values explicitly, full example here.
