Reveal.js plugin - d3js

Reveal.js plugin to embed d3.js visualizations in slides with support for transitions triggerd by normal slide navigation. d3.js visualizations are embed as iframe elements.

Check out the live demo

Installation

1. Copy the file d3js.js into the plugin folder of your reveal.js presentation, i.e. plugin/d3js.

2. Add the plugins to the dependencies in your presentation

Reveal.initialize({
	// ...
	dependencies: [
		// ... 
		{ src: 'https://d3js.org/d3.v4.min.js' },
		{ src: 'plugin/d3js/d3js.js' },
		// ... 
	]
});

Adding d3.js visualizations to slides

To add a d3.js visualizations to your presentation, simply create a container element with the class fig-container, the attribute data-fig-id with the figure id, and data-file with the path to the html page with the d3.js visualizations. The container can be a div, span or other element.

<section>
    <div class="fig-container"
        data-fig-id="fig-collision-detection"
        data-file="Collision-Detection.html"></div>
</section>

You can also embed the visualization in the background by adding the fig-container class to the section element like in the demo under demo/index.html.

<section class="fig-container"
        data-fig-id="fig-collision-detection"
        data-file="Collision-Detection.html"
        data-transitions="2">
    <h2>d3.js plugin for reveal.js</h2>

    Press right arrow to trigger transitions and left arrow to invert transition.
</section>

Finally, you can embed visualization in markdown slides using the special syntax to add attributes markdown elements.

<section data-markdown>
    <script type="text/template">
        <!-- .element: class="fig-container" data-fig-id="fig-collision-detection" data-file="Collision-Detection.html"-->
    </script>
</section>

Adding transitions

To add transitions, simply create two global variables in the html page with the d3.js visualizations:

1. _transitions is an array with functions that for each transition.

2. _inverse_transitions is an array with functions that revert each transition when user navigates back. _inverse_transitions can be set to [] if this functionality is not required.

The plugin automatically looks at the number of elements in the array _transitions and creates corresponding fragments in the container slide.

In the example, Collision-Detection.html adds two transitions:

var _transitions = [],
    _inverse_transitions = [];

_transitions.push(
  () => d3.selectAll("circle")
 			.transition().duration(1000)
 			.attr("r", function(d) { return d.radius * runif(0, 2); })
);
_inverse_transitions.push(
  () => d3.selectAll("circle")
  			.transition().duration(1000)
  			.attr("r", function(d) { return d.radius; })
);
_transitions.push(
  () => d3.selectAll("circle")
  			.transition().duration(1500)
  			.style("fill", "#33ff33")
);
_inverse_transitions.push(
  () => d3.selectAll("circle")
  			.transition().duration(1500)
  			.style("fill", function(d, i) { return color(i % 3); })
);
