Bar chart practice

My notes

Edit of mbostock's DRY Bar Chart

A variation of the example bar chart using a slightly more D.R.Y. style. The visual encoding is represented by two functions and their composition:

  • The value accessor returns the value (or property) to encode for a given data object.
  • The scale maps this value to a visual display encoding, such as a pixel position.
  • The map function represents the composition valuescale, mapping from data to display.

Inspired by Andrew Winterman’s post, Tooling for the Lazy Programmer: DRYing up D3.
