How to adjust brushing on a scatterplot matrix in d3?

Leave a Comment

I am using Mike Bostok's Block for brushing a scatterplot matrix.

I want to brush the diagonal plots of the matrix using an opacity number; middle of brush range opacity = 1 and opacity value = low on the sides of the brush range.

I couldn't find a hint online, besides this question, which does an identical action but using dc.js (with help of pretransition attribute).

Can this be achieved in d3?

Interesting question.

Here's a code snippet that'll set opacity on the selected circles by their distance from the center of the selection. It does this on the brush end with a nice transition. Here's the relevant method:

function brushend(p) {      // reset opacity     svg.selectAll("circle").style('opacity', 1);      // if no brush then bail     if (brush.empty()) {       svg.selectAll(".hidden").classed("hidden", false);       return;     }      // some calculations     var e = brush.extent(),         xC = (e[1][0] + e[0][0]) / 2,         yC = (e[1][1] + e[0][1]) / 2,         // maxD is the maximum of the distance to the two edges         maxD = Math.max( Math.sqrt((xC - e[0][0])**2), Math.sqrt ((yC - e[0][1])**2) );      // those circles not hidden     svg.selectAll("circle:not(.hidden)")       .transition()       .duration(1000)       .style("opacity", function(d) {         // distance from furthest edge         var xD = Math.sqrt( (xC - d[p.x])**2 + (yC - d[p.y])**2 );         // set opacity as percent of distance         return (maxD - xD) / maxD;     });    }
