Real time line graph with nvd3.js-open source projects novus/nvd3
I am trying to create a real time graph using nvd3.js which would be updated periodically and with the impression that the data is processed in real time.
For now I have been able to create a function which would update the graph periodically but I cannot manage to have a smooth transition between “states” like the line doing a transition to the left.
Here is what I did using nvd3.js , here the interesting code is:
d3.select('#chart svg')
.datum(data)
.transition().duration(duration)
.call(chart);
Now, I have been able to produce what I want using d3.js but I would prefer to be able to use all the tools provided by nvd3.js. Here is what I would like to produce using nvd3
The interesting code for the transition using d3.js is:
function tick() {
// update the domains
now = new Date();
x.domain([now - (n - 2) * duration, now - duration]);
y.domain([0, d3.max(data)]);
// push the accumulated count onto the back, and reset the count
data.push(Math.random()*10);
count = 0;
// redraw the line
svg.select(".line")
.attr("d", line)
.attr("transform", null);
// slide the x-axis left
axis.transition()
.duration(duration)
.ease("linear")
.call(x.axis);
// slide the line left
path.transition()
.duration(duration)
.ease("linear")
.attr("transform", "translate(" + x(now - (n - 1) * duration) + ")")
.each("end", tick);
// pop the old data point off the front
data.shift();
}
