D3.js interpolateObject() Function

The interpolateObject() function in D3.js is used to return the interpolator function between the two objects given. If any property of “b” exists in “a” then a generic interpolator is created for both “a” and “b” using interpolation.   

Syntax:

d3.interpolateObject(a, b);

Parameters: There are two parameters given below:

  • a: It is the Javascript object.
  • b: It is also the Javascript Object.

Returns: It returns the interpolation function of the two objects.

Below given are a few examples of the above function.

    let obj2={
      "a": 40,
      "b": 50,
      "d": 60,
      "e": 70
    
    let interpolationFunction=
d3.interpolateObject(obj1, obj2);
    /* Note the property d and e will not change
       as they are not present in obj1*/
    console.log(interpolationFunction(0))
    console.log(interpolationFunction(0.5))
    console.log(interpolationFunction(1))
    console.log(interpolationFunction(1.5))
    console.log(interpolationFunction(2))
    console.log(interpolationFunction(2.5))
    console.log(interpolationFunction(3))
