d3 | simple square grid

Simple square grid that is made of squares (well rect)

Change the height, width and square vars to alter. It simply loops over number of columns and creates a row for each loop iteration.


Note: If you don't want to use lodash

  1. change _.round to Math.round

  2. the loop from _.times(squaresColumn, function(n) { to for (var n = 0; n < squaresColumn; n++;) {

var square = 20,
w = 900,
h = 300;
// create the svg
var svg = d3.select('#grid').append('svg')
.attr({
width: w,
height: h
});
// calculate number of rows and columns
var squaresRow = _.round(w / square);
var squaresColumn = _.round(h / square);
// loop over number of columns
_.times(squaresColumn, function(n) {
// create each set of rows
var rows = svg.selectAll('rect' + ' .row-' + (n + 1))
.data(d3.range(squaresRow))
.enter().append('rect')
.attr({
class: function(d, i) {
return 'square row-' + (n + 1) + ' ' + 'col-' + (i + 1);
},
id: function(d, i) {
return 's-' + (n + 1) + (i + 1);
},
width: square,
height: square,
x: function(d, i) {
return i * square;
},
y: n * square,
fill: '#fff',
stroke: '#FDBB30'
});
// test with some feedback
var test = rows.on('mouseover', function (d, i) {
d3.select('#grid-ref').text(function () {
return 'row: ' + (n + 1) + ' | ' + 'column: ' + (i + 1);
});
d3.selectAll('.square').attr('fill', 'white');
d3.select(this).attr('fill', '#7AC143');
});
});
