Hello,
How can I create 3d group bar using your D3 concept??

@rajkamal90

is their any licence using it for my project

Could you please share the example for D3 3D group bar chart.

This code has a bug. It is not working for me. I am facing issues in bar3d function. Has anyone tried the above code? Please clarify

Super late but added an MIT license.

@minniekp This code is working just fine, see http://bl.ocks.org/austinhyde/02a038074dbd9a7b1eb3

Note that this uses a very old version of d3.

var camera = [width / 2, height / 2, -1000];
var barGen = bar3d()
.camera(camera)
.x(x)
.y(y)
.z(zScale(0))
.width(xScale.rangeBand())
.height(function(d) { return height - y(d); })
.depth(xScale.rangeBand());

I am getting an error in the above code saying "property camera does not exist on type (g: any) => void" when I try to call on bar3d() function. Please let me know what I am doing wrong here.

Also I need to make a cube on the left side of the bars for all bars in a grouped bar chart and stacked bar chart. Can you please tell me how to achieve this in 3d?
