"D3-js-in-Action.pdf" 是一本由 Elijah Meeks 撰写的关于 D3.js 的书籍，作者对数据可视化有着深厚的兴趣，尤其是游戏中的抽象表现形式。他在学习 D3 之前，已经接触过数据库、地图数据和网络数据，并且使用过 Flash 编程。D3.js 作为一个JavaScript库，不仅处理一般的信息可视化，还专门处理地理空间数据和网络数据，同时遵循Web标准，这使得作者对其产生了浓厚的兴趣。本书深入探讨了D3.js，不仅介绍了基础知识，如绘制线条和区域，还涵盖了各种数据可视化布局，包括地图、网络、移动设备优化等内容。作者在编写过程中，试图让读者全面了解数据可视化工具的各种应用场景，无论是地图、网络图还是饼图。书中的标签"D3"明确了主题，表明本书是针对 D3.js 这个强大的数据可视化库进行讲解的。书中不仅讨论了基本的图表生成，如折线图和面积图，还涉及了D3.js 提供的各种布局，这些都是在数据可视化时经常想到的技术。此外，特别关注了地图和网络图的创建，这些在现代数据科学中是非常重要的领域。书中还讨论了如何在移动设备上优化D3.js 应用，确保在不同平台上都能提供良好的用户体验。在版权信息部分，提到该书由 Manning Publications 出版，对未经授权的复制、存储或传输进行了版权声明。同时，Manning Publications 致力于使用酸性免费纸张印刷书籍，以保护知识的持久性。《D3.js in Action》是一本全方位的D3.js教程，适合希望深入了解数据可视化技术，特别是使用D3.js进行地图、网络图和其他复杂数据呈现的读者。通过本书，读者不仅可以学习到D3.js的基础知识，还能掌握其在不同场景下的高级应用。

ABOUT THIS BOOK

The next five chapters use

in the ways we typically think of. Chapter 4 teaches

you how to create simple graphics from data, such as line charts, axes, and boxplots.

Chapter 5 gives an in-depth exploration of various traditional data visualization lay-

outs like pie charts, tree layouts, and word clouds. Chapter 6 is devoted to network

visualization, which might seem exotic, but network visualization is being used more

and more in a variety of domains. Chapter 7 dives into the rich mapping capabilities

, and includes leveraging Topo

JSON

to do interesting geodata manipulation in

the browser. Chapter 8 is devoted to manipulating traditional

HTML

elements, like

paragraphs and lists, to demonstrate that

is not tied to

SVG

The last three chapters and chapter 12 (online only) cover topics that can be con-

sidered deep diving into

. I’ve found that each has become an important part of my

own practice. This includes principles for wiring up your own data dashboard, creat-

ing your own

layouts and components, optimizing data visualization for large data-

sets, and writing data visualization for mobile. Even if you don’t think you’ll ever be

using

in these ways, each of these chapters still touches on key aspects of using

How to use this book

If you’re just getting started with

, I suggest going through chapters 1 through 4 in

order. Each chapter builds on the last and establishes the basic principles not only of

but also of data visualization. After that, it depends on what you plan to use

for. If

your data is mostly geographic, then you can jump to chapter 7, and similarly, if your

data is mostly network data, you can jump to chapter 6. If you’re doing traditional data

visualization, then I suggest going to chapter 5 and then on to chapter 9 to start think-

ing about dashboards, which are a key component of traditional data visualization.

If you’ve been using

for a while and want to improve your skills, I suggest skim-

ming the first three chapters. The parts that I think might be of particular interest are

in chapter 3, and deal with color and loading external resources like

SVG

icons or

HTML

content. You might also want to review generators and components in chap-

ter 4 to fill in any gaps you might have dealing with these common, but often under-

examined, parts of

. After that, it depends on what you see as your strengths and

what you see as your goals for using

. If you want to maximize traditional data

visualization, take a look at chapter 5 to see the layouts, and then look at chapter 9

for dashboards. You’re probably familiar with most of the content there, but these

chapters deal with it more exhaustively than you likely have experienced. After that,

look at chapter 11 and see if there are any optimization techniques you might want

to bring into your data visualization, or look at chapter 8 and think about how you

might use the

tricks you know to build

elements and otherwise do traditional

web development.

Much of the value of this book comes in chapters 6 and 7, which go into great

detail about using

for two major areas of data visualization: networks and maps.

Along those lines, the use of

HTML5

canvas in chapters 8 and 11 is an area that even

experienced

developers might not be familiar with.

ABOUT THIS BOOK

xvi

Regardless of your level of experience with

, I recommend you really spend

some time with chapter 10, which deals with the structure of layouts and components

while showing you how to build your own. Beginning to build modular, reusable com-

ponents and layouts will allow you to create not only effective data visualization, but

also an effective career in visualizing data.

Chapter 12 is available online only from the publisher’s website at www.manning

.com/

.jsinAction and is a fun read that will expand your horizons.

Online graphics

Most of the graphics in this book were created in color and are meant to be viewed in

color. The eBook versions do include color graphics, but the print book is printed in

grayscale. To view the color graphics, please refer to the eBook versions in

PDF

, ePub,

and Kindle formats, which are available to pBook owners for free after they register

their print book at www.manning.com/

.jsinAction.

About one third of the graphics in this book also have an online component. To

see the online graphic and the code that was used to generate it, please look for this

icon in the captions of certain figures:

In the eBook versions, clicking on the icon will take you to the interactive graphic

online. For print book readers, please go to the publisher’s website at www.manning

.com/

.jsinAction where you will find the interactive graphics listed by figure num-

ber. By clicking on the

URL

s for those figures, you will be able to view the graphics

online on your computer or tablet as you read the print book.

Code conventions

Initial code examples in chapters are complete, with later code examples that extend

an initial example only showing the code that has changed. It’s best to use the source

code and online examples alongside the text. The line lengths of some of the exam-

ples exceed the page width, and in cases like these, the

➥

marker is used to indicate

that a line has been wrapped for formatting.

All source code in listings or in text is in a

fixed-width

font

this

to separate

it from ordinary text. Code annotations accompany many of the listings, highlighting

important concepts.

Source code downloads

The source code for the examples in this book is available online from the pub-

lisher’s website at www.manning.com/

.jsinAction, and a list of all interactive ver-

sions is hosted on GitHub and can be found at emeeks.github.io/d3ia/.

Software requirements

.js requires a browser to run, and you should have a local web server installed on

your computer to host your code.
