Dynamically Styling a D3 and Svelte Beeswarm ChartBuilding a Beeswarm Chart with Svelte and D3

In this lesson, we will learn how to dynamically style nodes in a force layout. The color and radii of nodes, represented as circles, in a beeswarm plot will be determined by specific data dimensions and scales defined via methods (e.g., scaleOrdinal for mapping discrete values of a categorical variable to visual elements like colors) of the d3-scale module.

Svelte Reactivity and D3 Force Ticks in Beeswarm ChartsBuilding a Beeswarm Chart with Svelte and D3

In this lesson, we will learn how ticks work in D3 force simulation layouts, and we will dive into Svelte reactivity (reactivity blocks) for correctly rendering nodes of a force layout in a responsive SVG canvas. A tick represents a “frame” in a force simulation - the state of the force layout at a specific point in a force simulation. With Svelte reactivity, nodes, represented as circles, will be positioned correctly in a beeswarm plot upon initial page load.

An Introduction to Beeswarm Charts with D3 and SvelteBuilding a Beeswarm Chart with Svelte and D3

Beeswarm plots offer an elegant and interactive way to visualize distributions, outliers and patterns within datasets. In this lesson, we will cover the fundamentals of building a beeswarm plot, beginning with an in-depth explanation of force simulations in D3 data visualizations. Then, we will learn how to prepare data for a force layout via D3’s data manipulation methods (e.g., rollup), how to create a force layout with the d3-force module (to automatically position nodes, represented as circles, in clusters and avoid node collisions/overlap) and how to render nodes of the force layout in a responsive SVG canvas with Svelte.
