Using d3 to generate SVGs in node.js

README.md

In order to generate some svg with d3 in node.js, you need a dom. This is a bare bones example of using jsdom for said dom.

index.js

#!/usr/bin/env node

var d3 = require("d3"),
    jsdom = require("jsdom").jsdom;

var body = d3.select(jsdom().documentElement).select("body");

var width = 1000,
    height = 500;

var svg = body.append("svg");

var svg = body.append("svg")
    .attr("version", "1.1")
    .attr("xmlns", d3.namespaces.svg)
    .attr("xmlns:xlink", d3.namespaces.xlink)
    .attr("width", width)
    .attr("height", height)
    .attr("viewBox", "0 0 " + width + " " + height);

process.stdout.write(body.node().innerHTML);
