Coming from d3
This page will explain Holochart to d3 users: what the declarative figure replaces, and where you still get d3-level control.
Planned topics:
- Declarative figures instead of data joins and DOM manipulation
- Scales, formats, and time handling (Holochart uses d3's micro-libraries, so format strings match)
- Style functions such as
(d, i) => color, and their serializable alternative, style rules - Direct access to the three.js scene for custom drawing
- Writing a custom trace when a chart type does not exist
