The d3.axis.tickArguments() Function in D3.js is used to control which ticks are displayed by the axis. This function returns the axis generator
Syntax:
axis.tickArguments([arguments])
Parameters: This function accepts single parameter as mentioned above and described below:
- arguments: These parameters are used to display the number of ticks and to customize how the tick values are formatted.
Return Value: This function returns the axis generator.
Note: This is similar to d3.axis.tick() function but in this function, all arguments can be optional.
Below programs illustrate the d3.axis.tickArguments() function in D3.js:
Example 1:
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html> < html > < head > < title > D3.js | D3.axis.tickArguments() Function </ title > < script type = "text/javascript" </ script > < style > svg text { fill: green; font: 15px sans-serif; text-anchor: center; } </ style > </ head > < body > < script > var width = 400, height = 400; var svg = d3.select("body") .append("svg") .attr("width", width) .attr("height", height); var xscale = d3.scaleLinear() .domain([0, 10]) .range([0, width - 60]); var x_axis = d3.axisBottom() .scale(xscale).tickArguments([5]); var xAxisTranslate = height / 2; svg.append("g") .attr("transform", "translate(50, " + xAxisTranslate + ")") .call(x_axis) </ script > </ body > </ html > |
Output:
Example 2:
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html> < html > < head > < title > D3.js | d3.axis.tickArguments() Function </ title > < script type = "text/javascript" </ script > < style > svg text { fill: green; font: 15px sans-serif; text-anchor: end; } </ style > </ head > < body > < script > var width = 400, height = 400; var svg = d3.select("body") .append("svg") .attr("width", width) .attr("height", height); var yscale = d3.scaleLinear() .domain([0, 1]) .range([height - 50, 0]); var y_axis = d3.axisLeft() .scale(yscale).tickArguments([3, "$.2f"]); svg.append("g") .attr("transform", "translate(100,20)") .call(y_axis) </ script > </ body > </ html > |
Output:
