The d3.curveMonotoneY interpolator assumes that the data is sorted according to the y coordinates otherwise it sorts the data accordingly. This curve method produces a cubic spline that preserves monotonicity in x, assuming monotonicity in y.
Syntax:
d3.curveMonotoneY()
Parameters: This method does not accept any parameters.
Return Value: This method does not return any value.
Example 1:

<!DOCTYPE html> < html > < head > < script src = </ script > </ head > < body > < h1 style="text-align: center; color: green;"> neveropen </ h1 > < center > < svg id = "gfg" width = "250" height = "250" > </ svg > </ center > < script > var data = [ { x: 0, y: 0 }, { x: 1, y: 3 }, { x: 2, y: 15 }, { x: 5, y: 1 }, { x: 6, y: 15 }, { x: 7, y: 5 }, { x: 8, y: 19 }]; // Sorting the points by y axis data.sort((a, b) => a.y - b.y); var xScale = d3.scaleLinear() .domain([0, 8]) .range([25, 200]); var yScale = d3.scaleLinear() .domain([0, 20]) .range([200, 25]); var line = d3.line() .x((d) => xScale(d.x)) .y((d) => yScale(d.y)) .curve(d3.curveMonotoneY); d3.select("#gfg") .append("path") .attr("d", line(data)) .attr("fill", "none") .attr("stroke", "green"); </ script > </ body > </ html > |
Output:
Example 2: Sorting the unsorted points by the x-axis then rendering the curve.
