parcoords-es

ES6 module of Syntagmatic's Parallel Coordinates (aka. parcoords). This library is completely based on D3 V5 API.

Features

Please refer to Parallel Coordinates's project page for concepts and API usage

All examples of the original project has been verified. You can play with them via running:

npm install
npm run dev

API

This section only lists api that are deviated from the original parallel coordinates.

# parcoords.brushExtents(extents) supports 1D multi brushes:

1D brush <>

  .brushMode("1D-axes")
  .brushExtents({"2": [3,4]});

1D multi brush <>

  .brushMode("1D-axes-multi")
  .brushExtents({"2": [[3,4], [6,8], [10, 14]]});

when parameter extents is not provided, this function returns

const extents = parcoords.brushExtents();
// format is:
{
    extents,
    selection: {
        raw, //raw coordinate
        scaled //y-scale transformed
    }
}

# parcoords.mark([values]) allows user to permanently highlight a data element in chart

const data = [...];
const pc = ParCoords().data(data)...;
parcoords.mark(data.filter(d => d.volume > 10));

Please refer to marking demo for details

# parcoords.unmark() clears all permanently highlighted data that is added by mark([values])

# parccords.on(function(brushed, args){}) adds brush arguments to brushstart, brush, and brushend events.

parcoords.on('brushstart', function(brushed, args){
    const {
        selection: {
            raw, //raw coordinate
            scaled //y-scale transformed
        },
        node, // svg node
        axis // dimension name
    } = args;
})

Please refer to brushing with arguments demo for details

Usage

ES6

  1. Install library in your project
npm install parcoord-es --save
  1. import module
import 'parcoord-es/dist/parcoords.css';
import ParCoords from 'parcoord-es';

const chart = ParCoords()....

Standalone

parcoords.standalone.js contains all dependencies and can be used directly in your html page. Please note that only essential D3 V5 modules are bundled, your global namespace won't be polluted.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./parcoords.css">
<script src="./parcoords.standalone.js"></script>

var parcoords = ParCoords()("#example")

You are free to use either D3 V3 or D3 V5 in your html. demo/superformula.html demonstrates how to use parcoords-es with d3 V3.
