transition of x-axis results in overflow
- by peter
First of all, no: this question is not about the (yet) ugly transition of the lines (I might open another one for that, though..).
I'm displaying data in line charts and the user can select the time horizon. The x-axis then correspondingly transitions so as to fit to the changed time horizon. In attached image, e.g., the time horizon was 1 week and then I switched to 4 weeks. The number of ticks on the x-axis increases from 7 to 28, correspondingly.
Question: How can I prevent the x-axis animation to display outside the svg container? As you can see, the additional dates fly in from the left and they are being animated far far outside the container.
Any ideas?
Right now, the transition works probably in the most simple way it could:
// format for x-axis
var xAxis = d3.svg.axis()
.scale(x)
.orient("bottom")
.tickFormat(d3.time.format("%d.%m"))
.ticks(d3.time.days, 1)
.tickSubdivide(0);
// Update x-axis
svg.select(".x")
.transition()
.duration(500)
.call(xAxis);
