D3.js density.weight() Function

The density.weight() function is used to set the weight accessor of the density contour estimator function. If the weight is given then this function sets the accessor for the point weights else it sets the accessor to the default value of 1.

Syntax:

d3.contourDensity.x().y().weight([weight]);

Parameters: This function takes one parameter as given above and described below:

  • weight: It takes a number that is used to set the accessor for the point weights.

Return Value: This function does not return anything.

Below given are a few examples of the density.weight() function.
