Interactive visualizations built with D3, running inside Google Chrome.

Rather than hide the underlying scenegraph within a toolkit-specific abstraction, D3 enables direct inspection and manipulation of a native representation: the standard document object model (DOM) . With D3, designers selectively bind input data to arbitrary document elements, applying dynamic transforms to both generate and modify content. We show how representational transparency improves expressiveness and better integrates with developer tools than prior approaches, while offering comparable notational efficiency and retaining powerful declarative components. Immediate evaluation of operators further simplifies debugging and allows iterative development. Additionally, we demonstrate how D3 transforms naturally enable animation and interaction with dramatic performance improvements over intermediate representations.  \nIndex Terms—Information visualization, user interfaces, toolkits, 2D graphics.  \n1 INTRODUCTION  \nWhen building visualizations, designers often employ multiple tools simultaneously. This is particularly true on the web, where interactive visualizations combine varied technologies: HTML for page content, CSS for aesthetics, JavaScript for interaction, SVG for vector graphics, and so on. One of the great successes of the web as a platform is the (mostly) seamless cooperation of such technologies, enabled by a shared representation of the page called the document object model (DOM) . The DOM exposes the hierarchical structure of page content, such as paragraph and table elements, allowing reference and manipulation. In addition to programming interfaces, modern browsers include powerful graphical tools for developers that display the element tree, reveal inherited style values, and debug interactive scripts.  \nUnfortunately, this blissful interoperability is typically lost with visualization toolkits due to encapsulation of the DOM with more specialized forms. Rather than empowering direct manipulation of the existing model, such toolkits [2, 9, 18] supplant it with custom scenegraph abstractions. This approach may provide substantial gains in efficiency—reducing the effort required to specify a visualization—but  \n􀀏 The authors are with the Computer Science Department of Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305 .  \nEmail: fmbostock,vad,[jheer](jheerg@stanford.edu)[g](jheerg@stanford.edu)[@stanford.edu](jheerg@stanford.edu).  \nManuscript received 31 March 2011; accepted 1 August 2011; posted online 23 October 2011; mailed on 14 October 2011 .  \nFor information on obtaining reprints of this article, please send email to: [tvcg@computer.org](tvcg@computer.org).  \nit incurs a high opportunity cost: it ignores developers' knowledge of standards, and the tools and resources that augment these standards.  \nThe resulting cost to accessibility—the difficulty of learning the representation—may trump efficiency gains, at least for new users. Scarcity of documentation and ineffectual debugging exacerbate the problem, impeding users from gaining deeper understanding of toolkit abstractions and limiting the toolkit's potential. Systems with intermediate scenegraph abstractions and delayed property evaluation can be particularly difficult to debug: internal structures are exposed only when errors arise, often at unexpected times.  \nFurthermore, intermediate representations may diminish expressiveness—the diversity of possible visualizations—and introduce substantial runtime overhead.
