[D3] Build an Area Chart with D3 v4

Similar to line charts, area charts are great for displaying temporal data. Whether you’re displaying a single set of data or multiple sets using an overlapping or stacked layout, D3 provides APIs to make the process straightforward. This lesson walks you through creating multiple layouts easily.

var margin = {
top: 10,
right: 20,
bottom: 65,
left: 40
};
var width = 400 - margin.left - margin.right;
var height = 600 - margin.top - margin.bottom;

var svg = d3.select('.chart')
.append('svg')
.attr('width', width + margin.left + margin.right)
.attr('height', height + margin.top + margin.bottom)
.call(responsivefy)
.append('g')
.attr('transform', 'translate(' + margin.left + ', ' + margin.top + ')');

/**
* Load data
*/
d3.json('../data/data3.json', function (err, data) {
const parseTime = d3.timeParse('%Y/%m/%d');

data.forEach(company => {
company.values.forEach(d => {
d.date = parseTime(d.date)
d.close = +d.close
})
})

/**
* Y axis
*/
const yScale = d3.scaleLinear()
.domain([
d3.min(data, co => d3.min(co.values, d => d.close)),
d3.max(data, co => d3.max(co.values, d => d.close))
])
.range([height, 0])
.nice();
const yAxis = d3.axisLeft(yScale);
svg.call(yAxis);

/**
* x axis
*/
const xScale = d3.scaleTime()
.domain([
d3.min(data, co => d3.min(co.values, d => d.date)),
d3.max(data, co => d3.max(co.values, d => d.date))
])
.range([0, width])
.nice();
const xAxis = d3.axisBottom(xScale).tickSize(10).tickPadding(5);
svg.append('g')
.attr('transform', `translate(0, ${height})`)
.call(xAxis)
.selectAll('text')
.attr('text-anchor', 'end')
.attr('transform', 'rotate(-45)');

console.log("yScale(yScale.domain()[0])", yScale(yScale.domain()[0])); //yScale(680)-->525
/**

const area = d3.area()
.x(d => xScale(d.date))
.y0(yScale(yScale.domain()[0]))
.y1(d => yScale(d.close))
.curve(d3.curveCatmullRom.alpha(0.5));

svg.selectAll('.area')
.data(data)
.enter()
.append('path')
.attr('class', 'area')
.attr('d', d =>  area(d.values))
.style('stroke', (d, i) => ['#FF9900', '#3369E8'][i])
.style('sroke-width', 2)
.style('fill', (d, i) => ['#FF9900', '#3369E8'][i])
.style('fill-opacity', 0.5);
});

function responsivefy(svg) {
// get container + svg aspect ratio
var container = d3.select(svg.node().parentNode),
width = parseInt(svg.style("width")),
height = parseInt(svg.style("height")),
aspect = width / height;

// add viewBox and preserveAspectRatio properties,
// and call resize so that svg resizes on inital page load
svg.attr("viewBox", "0 0 " + width + " " + height)
.attr("preserveAspectRatio", "xMinYMid")
.call(resize);

// to register multiple listeners for same event type,
// you need to add namespace, i.e., 'click.foo'
// necessary if you call invoke this function for multiple svgs
// api docs: https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Selections#on d3.select(window).on("resize." + container.attr("id"), resize);

// get width of container and resize svg to fit it
function resize() {
var targetWidth = parseInt(container.style("width"));
svg.attr("width", targetWidth);
svg.attr("height", Math.round(targetWidth / aspect));
}
