Key Features

  • Learn about D3 4.0 from the inside out and master its new features
  • Utilize D3 packages to generate graphs, manipulate data, and create beautiful presentations
  • Solve real-world visualization problems with the help of practical recipes

Book Description

This book gives you all the guidance you need to start creating modern data visualizations with D3 4.x that take advantage of the latest capabilities of JavaScript.

The book starts with the basic D3 structure and building blocks and quickly moves on to writing idiomatic D3-style JavaScript code. You will learn how to work with selection to target certain visual elements on the page, then you will see techniques to represent data both in programming constructs and its visual metaphor. You will learn how map values in your data domain to the visual domain using scales, and use the various shape functions supported by D3 to create SVG shapes in visualizations.

Moving on, you ll see how to use and customize various D3 axes and master transition to add bells and whistles to otherwise dry visualizations. You ll also learn to work with charts, hierarchy, graphs, and build interactive visualizations. Next you ll work with Force, which is one of the most awe-inspiring techniques you can add to your visualizations, and you ll implement a fully functional Choropleth map (a special purpose colored map) in D3.

Finally, you ll learn to unit test data visualization code and test-driven development in a visualization project so you know how to produce high-quality D3 code.

What you will learn

  • Get a solid understanding of the D3 fundamentals and idioms
  • Use D3 to load, manipulate, and map data to any kind of visual representation on the web
  • Create data-driven dynamic visualizations that update as the data does
  • Leverage the various modules provided by D3 to create sophisticated, dynamic, and interactive charts and graphics
  • Create data-driven transitions and animations within your visualizations
  • Understand and leverage more advanced concepts such as force, touch, and Geo data visualizations

主要特點


  • 從內部了解D3 4.0並掌握其新功能

  • 利用D3套件生成圖表、操作數據並創建美麗的演示文稿

  • 通過實用的示例解決現實世界的可視化問題

書籍描述

本書為您提供了開始使用D3 4.x創建現代數據可視化的所有指導,並充分利用JavaScript的最新功能。

本書從基本的D3結構和構建塊開始,迅速轉向編寫符合D3風格的JavaScript代碼。您將學習如何使用選擇器來定位頁面上的特定可視元素,然後您將看到如何使用編程構造和其可視化隱喻來表示數據的技術。您將學習如何使用比例尺將數據域中的值映射到可視域,並使用D3支持的各種形狀函數在可視化中創建SVG形狀。

接下來,您將了解如何使用和自定義各種D3軸,並掌握過渡效果,為乏味的可視化添加花哨的效果。您還將學習如何使用圖表、層次結構、圖形並構建交互式可視化。接下來,您將使用Force,這是您可以添加到可視化中的最令人驚嘆的技術之一,並在D3中實現一個完全功能的Choropleth地圖(一種特殊目的的彩色地圖)。

最後,您將學習如何對數據可視化代碼進行單元測試和測試驅動開發,以便知道如何生成高質量的D3代碼。

您將學到什麼


  • 深入了解D3的基礎知識和慣用語法

  • 使用D3將數據加載、操作並映射到Web上的任何類型的可視表示

  • 創建數據驅動的動態可視化,隨著數據的變化而更新

  • 利用D3提供的各種模塊創建複雜、動態和交互式的圖表和圖形

  • 在可視化中創建數據驅動的過渡和動畫

  • 了解並利用更高級的概念,如力學、觸摸和地理數據可視化
