Overview of this book

Do you want to make sense of your data? Do you want to create interactive charts, data trees, info-graphics, geospatial charts, and maps efficiently? This book is your ideal choice to master interactive data visualization with D3.js V4. The book includes a number of extensive examples that to help you hone your skills with data visualization. Throughout nine chapters these examples will help you acquire a clear practical understanding of the various techniques, tools and functionality provided by D3.js. You will first setup your D3.JS development environment and learn the basic patterns needed to visualize your data. After that you will learn techniques to optimize different processes such as working with selections; animating data transitions; creating graps and charts, integrating external resources (static as well as streaming); visualizing information on maps; working with colors and scales; utilizing the different D3.js APIs; and much more. The book will also guide you through creating custom graphs and visualizations, and show you how to go from the raw data to beautiful visualizations. The extensive examples will include working with complex and realtime data streams, such as seismic data, geospatial data, scientific data, and more. Towards the end of the book, you will learn to add more functionality on top of D3.js by using it with other external libraries and integrating it with Ecmascript 6 and Typescript

Summary

In this chapter, we've explored a couple of the D3 APIs that we skipped in the previous chapters. We first looked at the different symbols supported by D3 that you can easily use in line charts or scatterplots. Next, we looked at how you can use the d3.path API directly to draw lines and shapes. We also looked at an alternative use of paths, where we use them to define how an animated object moves across the screen. In the second part of this chapter, we focused on how to import and export SVG visualizations. We first showed how to export an SVG element as a PNG and as an SVG. After that, we showed how to load an external SVG file and use it in D3. Finally, we looked at the d3.brush API, which can be used to select multiple elements on the screen.

In the next chapter, which is the last one, we'll explore some of the third-party extensions of D3 and how you can use D3 in ES6 and TypeScript.
