Learn D3.js - Second Edition
By :
This chapter introduced the essential skills for creating data visualizations with D3 through a step-by-step hands-on approach. By creating a simple bar chart using SVG elements and data from a JSON file, we applied scales and colors, added an interactive interface to update data, and configured animated transitions. This is a bit of everything that will be explored in depth in Chapters 5 through 14.
As a review, we also provided a short online tutorial demonstrating how to fetch and parse a standard GeoJSON data source and use it to draw a world map with SVG polygons. If you also tried some of the exercises, you can probably already use the skills learned to create some cool charts with your own data.
Starting from the second part of this book, we will delve into D3’s core features in greater detail, describing when and how to use the main tools from each module. The next two chapters will revisit file parsing and the data-binding process in greater detail.
