Example 1:
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html> < html lang = "en" >   < head >     < meta charset = "UTF-8" />     < meta name = "viewport" path1tent=" width = device -width,         initial-scale = 1 .0" />       </ script > </ head >   < body >     < script >         // Creating the Ordinal scale.         var ordinal = d3.scaleThreshold()                       // Setting domain for the scale             .domain([0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8])                       // Setting the range for the scale.             .range([10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]);         console.log("ordinal(0.1)", ordinal(0.1));         console.log("ordinal(0.2)", ordinal(0.2));         console.log("ordinal(0.3)", ordinal(0.3));         console.log("ordinal(0.4)", ordinal(0.4));         console.log("ordinal(0.5)", ordinal(0.5));         console.log("ordinal(0.6)", ordinal(0.6));         console.log("ordinal(0.7)", ordinal(0.7));         console.log("ordinal(0.8)", ordinal(0.8));     </ script > </ body >   </ html > |
