d3-array

Data in JavaScript is often represented by an iterable (such as an array, set or generator), and so iterable manipulation is a common task when analyzing or visualizing data. For example, you might take a contiguous slice (subset) of an array, filter an array using a predicate function, or map an array to a parallel set of values using a transform function. Before looking at the methods that d3-array provides, familiarize yourself with the powerful array methods built-in to JavaScript.

JavaScript includes mutation methods that modify the array:

array.pop - Remove the last element from the array.
array.push - Add one or more elements to the end of the array.
array.reverse - Reverse the order of the elements of the array.
array.shift - Remove the first element from the array.
array.sort - Sort the elements of the array.
array.splice - Add or remove elements from the array.
array.unshift - Add one or more elements to the front of the array.

There are also access methods that return some representation of the array:

array.concat - Join the array with other array(s) or value(s).
array.join - Join all elements of the array into a string.
array.slice - Extract a section of the array.
array.indexOf - Find the first occurrence of a value within the array.
array.lastIndexOf - Find the last occurrence of a value within the array.

And finally iteration methods that apply functions to elements in the array:

array.filter - Create a new array with only the elements for which a predicate is true.
array.forEach - Call a function for each element in the array.
array.every - See if every element in the array satisfies a predicate.
array.map - Create a new array with the result of calling a function on every element in the array.
array.some - See if at least one element in the array satisfies a predicate.
array.reduce - Apply a function to reduce the array to a single value (from left-to-right).
array.reduceRight - Apply a function to reduce the array to a single value (from right-to-left).

Installing

If you use npm, npm install d3-array. You can also download the latest release on GitHub. For vanilla HTML in modern browsers, import d3-array from jsDelivr:

<script type="module">

import {min} from "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/d3-array@3/+esm";

const m = min(array);

</script>

For legacy environments, you can load d3-array’s UMD bundle; a d3 global is exported:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/d3-array@3"></script>
<script>

const m = d3.min(array);

</script>

Statistics

Methods for computing basic summary statistics.

# d3.min(iterable[, accessor]) · Source, Examples

Returns the minimum value in the given iterable using natural order. If the iterable contains no comparable values, returns undefined. An optional accessor function may be specified, which is equivalent to calling Array.from before computing the minimum value.

Unlike the built-in Math.min, this method ignores undefined, null and NaN values; this is useful for ignoring missing data. In addition, elements are compared using natural order rather than numeric order. For example, the minimum of the strings [“20”, “3”] is “20”, while the minimum of the numbers [20, 3] is 3.

Search

Methods for searching arrays for a specific element.

# d3.least(iterable[, comparator]) · Source, Examples
# d3.least(iterable[, accessor])

Returns the least element of the specified iterable according to the specified comparator or accessor. If the given iterable contains no comparable elements (i.e., the comparator returns NaN when comparing each element to itself), returns undefined. If comparator is not specified, it defaults to ascending. For example:

const array = [{foo: 42}, {foo: 91}];
d3.least(array, (a, b) => a.foo - b.foo); // {foo: 42}
d3.least(array, (a, b) => b.foo - a.foo); // {foo: 91}
d3.least(array, a => a.foo); // {foo: 42}

This function is similar to min, except it allows the use of a comparator rather than an accessor.

# d3.leastIndex(iterable[, comparator]) · Source, Examples
# d3.leastIndex(iterable[, accessor])

Returns the index of the least element of the specified iterable according to the specified comparator or accessor. If the given iterable contains no comparable elements (i.e., the comparator returns NaN when comparing each element to itself), returns -1. If comparator is not specified, it defaults to ascending. For example:

const array = [{foo: 42}, {foo: 91}];
d3.leastIndex(array, (a, b) => a.foo - b.foo); // 0
d3.leastIndex(array, (a, b) => b.foo - a.foo); // 1
d3.leastIndex(array, a => a.foo); // 0

This function is similar to minIndex, except it allows the use of a comparator rather than an accessor.

# d3.greatest(iterable[, comparator]) · Source, Examples
# d3.greatest(iterable[, accessor])

Returns the greatest element of the specified iterable according to the specified comparator or accessor. If the given iterable contains no comparable elements (i.e., the comparator returns NaN when comparing each element to itself), returns undefined. If comparator is not specified, it defaults to ascending. For example:

const array = [{foo: 42}, {foo: 91}];
d3.greatest(array, (a, b) => a.foo - b.foo); // {foo: 91}
d3.greatest(array, (a, b) => b.foo - a.foo); // {foo: 42}
d3.greatest(array, a => a.foo); // {foo: 91}

This function is similar to max, except it allows the use of a comparator rather than an accessor.

# d3.greatestIndex(iterable[, comparator]) · Source, Examples
# d3.greatestIndex(iterable[, accessor])

Returns the index of the greatest element of the specified iterable according to the specified comparator or accessor. If the given iterable contains no comparable elements (i.e., the comparator returns NaN when comparing each element to itself), returns -1. If comparator is not specified, it defaults to ascending. For example:

const array = [{foo: 42}, {foo: 91}];
d3.greatestIndex(array, (a, b) => a.foo - b.foo); // 1
d3.greatestIndex(array, (a, b) => b.foo - a.foo); // 0
d3.greatestIndex(array, a => a.foo); // 1

This function is similar to maxIndex, except it allows the use of a comparator rather than an accessor.

# d3.bisectLeft(array, x[, lo[, hi]]) · Source

Returns the insertion point for x in array to maintain sorted order. The arguments lo and hi may be used to specify a subset of the array which should be considered; by default the entire array is used. If x is already present in array, the insertion point will be before (to the left of) any existing entries. The return value is suitable for use as the first argument to splice assuming that array is already sorted. The returned insertion point i partitions the array into two halves so that all v < x for v in array.slice(lo, i) for the left side and all v >= x for v in array.slice(i, hi) for the right side.

# d3.bisect(array, x[, lo[, hi]]) · Source, Examples
# d3.bisectRight(array, x[, lo[, hi]])

Similar to bisectLeft, but returns an insertion point which comes after (to the right of) any existing entries of x in array. The returned insertion point i partitions the array into two halves so that all v <= x for v in array.slice(lo, i) for the left side and all v > x for v in array.slice(i, hi) for the right side.

# d3.bisectCenter(array, x[, lo[, hi]]) · Source, Examples

Returns the index of the value closest to x in the given array of numbers. The arguments lo (inclusive) and hi (exclusive) may be used to specify a subset of the array which should be considered; by default the entire array is used.

See bisector.center.

# d3.bisector(accessor) · Source
# d3.bisector(comparator)

Returns a new bisector using the specified accessor or comparator function. This method can be used to bisect arrays of objects instead of being limited to simple arrays of primitives. For example, given the following array of objects:

var data = [
  {date: new Date(2011, 1, 1), value: 0.5},
  {date: new Date(2011, 2, 1), value: 0.6},
  {date: new Date(2011, 3, 1), value: 0.7},
  {date: new Date(2011, 4, 1), value: 0.8}
];

A suitable bisect function could be constructed as:

var bisectDate = d3.bisector(function(d) { return d.date; }).right;

This is equivalent to specifying a comparator:

var bisectDate = d3.bisector(function(d, x) { return d.date - x; }).right;

And then applied as bisectDate(array, date), returning an index. Note that the comparator is always passed the search value x as the second argument. Use a comparator rather than an accessor if you want values to be sorted in an order different than natural order, such as in descending rather than ascending order.

# bisector.left(array, x[, lo[, hi]]) · Source

Equivalent to bisectLeft, but uses this bisector’s associated comparator.

# bisector.right(array, x[, lo[, hi]]) · Source

Equivalent to bisectRight, but uses this bisector’s associated comparator.

# bisector.center(array, x[, lo[, hi]]) · Source

Returns the index of the closest value to x in the given sorted array. This expects that the bisector’s associated accessor returns a quantitative value, or that the bisector’s associated comparator returns a signed distance; otherwise, this method is equivalent to bisector.left.

# d3.quickselect(array, k, left = 0, right = array.length - 1, compare = ascending) · Source, Examples

See mourner/quickselect.

# d3.ascending(a, b) · Source, Examples

Returns -1 if a is less than b, or 1 if a is greater than b, or 0. This is the comparator function for natural order, and can be used in conjunction with the built-in array.sort method to arrange elements in ascending order. It is implemented as:

function ascending(a, b) {
  return a == null || b == null ? NaN : a < b ? -1 : a > b ? 1 : a >= b ? 0 : NaN;
}

Note that if no comparator function is specified to the built-in sort method, the default order is lexicographic (alphabetical), not natural! This can lead to surprising behavior when sorting an array of numbers.

# d3.descending(a, b) · Source, Examples

Returns -1 if a is greater than b, or 1 if a is less than b, or 0. This is the comparator function for reverse natural order, and can be used in conjunction with the built-in array sort method to arrange elements in descending order. It is implemented as:

function descending(a, b) {
  return a == null || b == null ? NaN : b < a ? -1 : b > a ? 1 : b >= a ? 0 : NaN;
}

Transformations

Methods for transforming arrays and for generating new arrays.

# d3.group(iterable, ...keys) · Source, Examples

Groups the specified iterable of values into an InternMap from key to array of value. For example, given some data:

data = [
  {name: "jim",   amount: "34.0",   date: "11/12/2015"},
  {name: "carl",  amount: "120.11", date: "11/12/2015"},
  {name: "stacy", amount: "12.01",  date: "01/04/2016"},
  {name: "stacy", amount: "34.05",  date: "01/04/2016"}
]

To group the data by name:

d3.group(data, d => d.name)

This produces:

Map(3) {
  "jim" => Array(1)
  "carl" => Array(1)
  "stacy" => Array(2)
}

If more than one key is specified, a nested InternMap is returned. For example:

d3.group(data, d => d.name, d => d.date)

This produces:

Map(3) {
  "jim" => Map(1) {
    "11/12/2015" => Array(1)
  }
  "carl" => Map(1) {
    "11/12/2015" => Array(1)
  }
  "stacy" => Map(1) {
    "01/04/2016" => Array(2)
  }
}

To convert a Map to an Array, use Array.from. For example:

Array.from(d3.group(data, d => d.name))

This produces:

[
  ["jim", Array(1)],
  ["carl", Array(1)],
  ["stacy", Array(2)]
]

You can also simultaneously convert the [key, value] to some other representation by passing a map function to Array.from:

Array.from(d3.group(data, d => d.name), ([key, value]) => ({key, value}))

This produces:

[
  {key: "jim", value: Array(1)},
  {key: "carl", value: Array(1)},
  {key: "stacy", value: Array(2)}
]

selection.data accepts iterables directly, meaning that you can use a Map (or Set or other iterable) to perform a data join without first needing to convert to an array.

# d3.groups(iterable, ...keys) · Source, Examples

Equivalent to group, but returns nested arrays instead of nested maps.

# d3.flatGroup(iterable, ...keys) · Source, Examples

Equivalent to group, but returns a flat array of [key0, key1, …, values] instead of nested maps.

# d3.index(iterable, ...keys) · Source, Examples

Equivalent to group but returns a unique value per compound key instead of an array, throwing if the key is not unique.

For example, given the data defined above,

d3.index(data, d => d.amount)

returns

Map(4) {
  "34.0" => Object {name: "jim", amount: "34.0", date: "11/12/2015"}
  "120.11" => Object {name: "carl", amount: "120.11", date: "11/12/2015"}
  "12.01" => Object {name: "stacy", amount: "12.01", date: "01/04/2016"}
  "34.05" => Object {name: "stacy", amount: "34.05", date: "01/04/2016"}
}

On the other hand,

d3.index(data, d => d.name)

throws an error because two objects share the same name.

# d3.indexes(iterable, ...keys) · Source, Examples

Equivalent to index, but returns nested arrays instead of nested maps.

# d3.rollup(iterable, reduce, ...keys) · Source, Examples

Groups and reduces the specified iterable of values into an InternMap from key to value. For example, given some data:

data = [
  {name: "jim",   amount: "34.0",   date: "11/12/2015"},
  {name: "carl",  amount: "120.11", date: "11/12/2015"},
  {name: "stacy", amount: "12.01",  date: "01/04/2016"},
  {name: "stacy", amount: "34.05",  date: "01/04/2016"}
]

To count the number of elements by name:

d3.rollup(data, v => v.length, d => d.name)

This produces:

Map(3) {
  "jim" => 1
  "carl" => 1
  "stacy" => 2
}

If more than one key is specified, a nested Map is returned. For example:

d3.rollup(data, v => v.length, d => d.name, d => d.date)

This produces:

Map(3) {
  "jim" => Map(1) {
    "11/12/2015" => 1
  }
  "carl" => Map(1) {
    "11/12/2015" => 1
  }
  "stacy" => Map(1) {
    "01/04/2016" => 2
  }
}

To convert a Map to an Array, use Array.from. See d3.group for examples.

# d3.rollups(iterable, reduce, ...keys) · Source, Examples

Equivalent to rollup, but returns nested arrays instead of nested maps.

# d3.flatRollup(iterable, reduce, ...keys) · Source, Examples

Equivalent to rollup, but returns a flat array of [key0, key1, …, value] instead of nested maps.

# d3.groupSort(iterable, comparator, key) · Source, Examples
# d3.groupSort(iterable, accessor, key)

Groups the specified iterable of elements according to the specified key function, sorts the groups according to the specified comparator, and then returns an array of keys in sorted order. For example, if you had a table of barley yields for different varieties, sites, and years, to sort the barley varieties by ascending median yield:

d3.groupSort(barley, g => d3.median(g, d => d.yield), d => d.variety)

For descending order, negate the group value:

d3.groupSort(barley, g => -d3.median(g, d => d.yield), d => d.variety)

If a comparator is passed instead of an accessor (i.e., if the second argument is a function that takes exactly two arguments), it will be asked to compare two groups a and b and should return a negative value if a should be before b, a positive value if a should be after b, or zero for a partial ordering.

# d3.count(iterable[, accessor]) · Source, Examples

Returns the number of valid number values (i.e., not null, NaN, or undefined) in the specified iterable; accepts an accessor.

For example:

d3.count([{n: "Alice", age: NaN}, {n: "Bob", age: 18}, {n: "Other"}], d => d.age) // 1

# d3.cross(...iterables[, reducer]) · Source, Examples

Returns the Cartesian product of the specified iterables. For example, if two iterables a and b are specified, for each element i in the iterable a and each element j in the iterable b, in order, invokes the specified reducer function passing the element i and element j. If a reducer is not specified, it defaults to a function which creates a two-element array for each pair:

function pair(a, b) {
  return [a, b];
}

For example:

d3.cross([1, 2], ["x", "y"]); // returns [[1, "x"], [1, "y"], [2, "x"], [2, "y"]]
d3.cross([1, 2], ["x", "y"], (a, b) => a + b); // returns ["1x", "1y", "2x", "2y"]

# d3.merge(iterables) · Source, Examples

Merges the specified iterable of iterables into a single array. This method is similar to the built-in array concat method; the only difference is that it is more convenient when you have an array of arrays.

d3.merge([[1], [2, 3]]); // returns [1, 2, 3]

# d3.pairs(iterable[, reducer]) · Source, Examples

For each adjacent pair of elements in the specified iterable, in order, invokes the specified reducer function passing the element i and element i - 1. If a reducer is not specified, it defaults to a function which creates a two-element array for each pair:

function pair(a, b) {
  return [a, b];
}

For example:

d3.pairs([1, 2, 3, 4]); // returns [[1, 2], [2, 3], [3, 4]]
d3.pairs([1, 2, 3, 4], (a, b) => b - a); // returns [1, 1, 1];

If the specified iterable has fewer than two elements, returns the empty array.

# d3.permute(source, keys) · Source, Examples

Returns a permutation of the specified source object (or array) using the specified iterable of keys. The returned array contains the corresponding property of the source object for each key in keys, in order. For example:

permute(["a", "b", "c"], [1, 2, 0]); // returns ["b", "c", "a"]

It is acceptable to have more keys than source elements, and for keys to be duplicated or omitted.

This method can also be used to extract the values from an object into an array with a stable order. Extracting keyed values in order can be useful for generating data arrays in nested selections. For example:

let object = {yield: 27, variety: "Manchuria", year: 1931, site: "University Farm"};
let fields = ["site", "variety", "yield"];

d3.permute(object, fields); // returns ["University Farm", "Manchuria", 27]

# d3.shuffle(array[, start[, stop]]) · Source, Examples

Randomizes the order of the specified array in-place using the Fisher–Yates shuffle and returns the array. If start is specified, it is the starting index (inclusive) of the array to shuffle; if start is not specified, it defaults to zero. If stop is specified, it is the ending index (exclusive) of the array to shuffle; if stop is not specified, it defaults to array.length. For example, to shuffle the first ten elements of the array: shuffle(array, 0, 10).

# d3.shuffler(random) · Source

Returns a shuffle function given the specified random source. For example, using d3.randomLcg:

const random = d3.randomLcg(0.9051667019185816);
const shuffle = d3.shuffler(random);

shuffle([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]); // returns [7, 4, 5, 3, 9, 0, 6, 1, 2, 8]

# d3.ticks(start, stop, count) · Source, Examples

Returns an array of approximately count + 1 uniformly-spaced, nicely-rounded values between start and stop (inclusive). Each value is a power of ten multiplied by 1, 2 or 5. See also d3.tickIncrement, d3.tickStep and linear.ticks.

Ticks are inclusive in the sense that they may include the specified start and stop values if (and only if) they are exact, nicely-rounded values consistent with the inferred step. More formally, each returned tick t satisfies start ≤ t and t ≤ stop.

# d3.tickIncrement(start, stop, count) · Source, Examples

Like d3.tickStep, except requires that start is always less than or equal to stop, and if the tick step for the given start, stop and count would be less than one, returns the negative inverse tick step instead. This method is always guaranteed to return an integer, and is used by d3.ticks to guarantee that the returned tick values are represented as precisely as possible in IEEE 754 floating point.

# d3.tickStep(start, stop, count) · Source, Examples

Returns the difference between adjacent tick values if the same arguments were passed to d3.ticks: a nicely-rounded value that is a power of ten multiplied by 1, 2 or 5. Note that due to the limited precision of IEEE 754 floating point, the returned value may not be exact decimals; use d3-format to format numbers for human consumption.

# d3.nice(start, stop, count) · Source

Returns a new interval [niceStart, niceStop] covering the given interval [start, stop] and where niceStart and niceStop are guaranteed to align with the corresponding tick step. Like d3.tickIncrement, this requires that start is less than or equal to stop.

# d3.range([start, ]stop[, step]) · Source, Examples

Returns an array containing an arithmetic progression, similar to the Python built-in range. This method is often used to iterate over a sequence of uniformly-spaced numeric values, such as the indexes of an array or the ticks of a linear scale. (See also d3.ticks for nicely-rounded values.)

If step is omitted, it defaults to 1. If start is omitted, it defaults to 0. The stop value is exclusive; it is not included in the result. If step is positive, the last element is the largest start + i * step less than stop; if step is negative, the last element is the smallest start + i * step greater than stop. If the returned array would contain an infinite number of values, an empty range is returned.

The arguments are not required to be integers; however, the results are more predictable if they are. The values in the returned array are defined as start + i * step, where i is an integer from zero to one minus the total number of elements in the returned array. For example:

d3.range(0, 1, 0.2) // [0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6000000000000001, 0.8]

This unexpected behavior is due to IEEE 754 double-precision floating point, which defines 0.2 * 3 = 0.6000000000000001. Use d3-format to format numbers for human consumption with appropriate rounding; see also linear.tickFormat in d3-scale.

Likewise, if the returned array should have a specific length, consider using array.map on an integer range. For example:

d3.range(0, 1, 1 / 49); // BAD: returns 50 elements!
d3.range(49).map(function(d) { return d / 49; }); // GOOD: returns 49 elements.

# d3.transpose(matrix) · Source, Examples

Uses the zip operator as a two-dimensional matrix transpose.

# d3.zip(arrays…) · Source, Examples

Returns an array of arrays, where the ith array contains the ith element from each of the argument arrays. The returned array is truncated in length to the shortest array in arrays. If arrays contains only a single array, the returned array contains one-element arrays. With no arguments, the returned array is empty.

d3.zip([1, 2], [3, 4]); // returns [[1, 3], [2, 4]]

Blur

# d3.blur(data, radius) · Source, Examples

Blurs an array of data in-place by applying three iterations of a moving average transform, for a fast approximation of a gaussian kernel of the given radius, a non-negative number, and returns the array.

const randomWalk = d3.cumsum({length: 1000}, () => Math.random() - 0.5);
blur(randomWalk, 5);

Copy the data if you don’t want to smooth it in-place:

const smoothed = blur(randomWalk.slice(), 5);

# d3.blur2({data, width[, height]}, rx[, ry]) · Source, Examples

Blurs a matrix of the given width and height in-place, by applying an horizontal blur of radius rx and a vertical blur or radius ry (which defaults to rx). The matrix data is stored in a flat array, used to determine the height if it is not specified. Returns the blurred {data, width, height}.

data = [
  1, 0, 0,
  0, 0, 0,
  0, 0, 1
];
blur2({data, width: 3}, 1);

# d3.blurImage(imageData, rx[, ry]) · Source, Examples

Blurs an ImageData structure in-place, blurring each of the RGBA layers independently by applying an horizontal blur of radius rx and a vertical blur or radius ry (which defaults to rx). Returns the blurred ImageData.

const imData = context.getImageData(0, 0, width, height);
blurImage(imData, 5);

Iterables

These are equivalent to built-in array methods, but work with any iterable including Map, Set, and Generator.

# d3.every(iterable, test) · Source

Returns true if the given test function returns true for every value in the given iterable. This method returns as soon as test returns a non-truthy value or all values are iterated over. Equivalent to array.every:

d3.every(new Set([1, 3, 5, 7]), x => x & 1) // true

# d3.some(iterable, test) · Source

Returns true if the given test function returns true for any value in the given iterable. This method returns as soon as test returns a truthy value or all values are iterated over. Equivalent to array.some:

d3.some(new Set([0, 2, 3, 4]), x => x & 1) // true

# d3.filter(iterable, test) · Source

Returns a new array containing the values from iterable, in order, for which the given test function returns true. Equivalent to array.filter:

d3.filter(new Set([0, 2, 3, 4]), x => x & 1) // [3]

# d3.map(iterable, mapper) · Source

Returns a new array containing the mapped values from iterable, in order, as defined by given mapper function. Equivalent to array.map and Array.from:

d3.map(new Set([0, 2, 3, 4]), x => x & 1) // [0, 0, 1, 0]

# d3.reduce(iterable, reducer[, initialValue]) · Source

Returns the reduced value defined by given reducer function, which is repeatedly invoked for each value in iterable, being passed the current reduced value and the next value. Equivalent to array.reduce:

d3.reduce(new Set([0, 2, 3, 4]), (p, v) => p + v, 0) // 9

# d3.reverse(iterable) · Source

Returns an array containing the values in the given iterable in reverse order. Equivalent to array.reverse, except that it does not mutate the given iterable:

d3.reverse(new Set([0, 2, 3, 1])) // [1, 3, 2, 0]

# d3.sort(iterable, comparator = d3.ascending) · Source
# d3.sort(iterable, ...accessors)

Returns an array containing the values in the given iterable in the sorted order defined by the given comparator or accessor function. If comparator is not specified, it defaults to d3.ascending. Equivalent to array.sort, except that it does not mutate the given iterable, and the comparator defaults to natural order instead of lexicographic order:

d3.sort(new Set([0, 2, 3, 1])) // [0, 1, 2, 3]

If an accessor (a function that does not take exactly two arguments) is specified,

d3.sort(data, d => d.value)

it is equivalent to a comparator using natural order:

d3.sort(data, (a, b) => d3.ascending(a.value, b.value))

The accessor is only invoked once per element, and thus the returned sorted order is consistent even if the accessor is nondeterministic.

Multiple accessors may be specified to break ties:

d3.sort(points, ({x}) => x, ({y}) => y)

This is equivalent to:

d3.sort(data, (a, b) => d3.ascending(a.x, b.x) || d3.ascending(a.y, b.y))

Sets

This methods implement basic set operations for any iterable.

# d3.difference(iterable, ...others) · Source

Returns a new InternSet containing every value in iterable that is not in any of the others iterables.

d3.difference([0, 1, 2, 0], [1]) // Set {0, 2}

# d3.union(...iterables) · Source

Returns a new InternSet containing every (distinct) value that appears in any of the given iterables. The order of values in the returned set is based on their first occurrence in the given iterables.

d3.union([0, 2, 1, 0], [1, 3]) // Set {0, 2, 1, 3}

# d3.intersection(...iterables) · Source

Returns a new InternSet containing every (distinct) value that appears in all of the given iterables. The order of values in the returned set is based on their first occurrence in the given iterables.

d3.intersection([0, 2, 1, 0], [1, 3]) // Set {1}

# d3.superset(a, b) · Source

Returns true if a is a superset of b: if every value in the given iterable b is also in the given iterable a.

d3.superset([0, 2, 1, 3, 0], [1, 3]) // true

# d3.subset(a, b) · Source

Returns true if a is a subset of b: if every value in the given iterable a is also in the given iterable b.

d3.subset([1, 3], [0, 2, 1, 3, 0]) // true

# d3.disjoint(a, b) · Source

Returns true if a and b are disjoint: if a and b contain no shared value.

d3.disjoint([1, 3], [2, 4]) // true

Bins

Binning groups discrete samples into a smaller number of consecutive, non-overlapping intervals. They are often used to visualize the distribution of numerical data as histograms.

# d3.bin() · Source, Examples

Constructs a new bin generator with the default settings.

# bin(data) · Source, Examples

Bins the given iterable of data samples. Returns an array of bins, where each bin is an array containing the associated elements from the input data. Thus, the length of the bin is the number of elements in that bin. Each bin has two additional attributes:

x0 - the lower bound of the bin (inclusive).
x1 - the upper bound of the bin (exclusive, except for the last bin).

Any null or non-comparable values in the given data, or those outside the domain, are ignored.

# bin.value([value]) · Source, Examples

If value is specified, sets the value accessor to the specified function or constant and returns this bin generator. If value is not specified, returns the current value accessor, which defaults to the identity function.

When bins are generated, the value accessor will be invoked for each element in the input data array, being passed the element d, the index i, and the array data as three arguments. The default value accessor assumes that the input data are orderable (comparable), such as numbers or dates. If your data are not, then you should specify an accessor that returns the corresponding orderable value for a given datum.

This is similar to mapping your data to values before invoking the bin generator, but has the benefit that the input data remains associated with the returned bins, thereby making it easier to access other fields of the data.

# bin.domain([domain]) · Source, Examples

If domain is specified, sets the domain accessor to the specified function or array and returns this bin generator. If domain is not specified, returns the current domain accessor, which defaults to extent. The bin domain is defined as an array [min, max], where min is the minimum observable value and max is the maximum observable value; both values are inclusive. Any value outside of this domain will be ignored when the bins are generated.

For example, if you are using the bin generator in conjunction with a linear scale x, you might say:

var bin = d3.bin()
    .domain(x.domain())
    .thresholds(x.ticks(20));

You can then compute the bins from an array of numbers like so:

var bins = bin(numbers);

If the default extent domain is used and the thresholds are specified as a count (rather than explicit values), then the computed domain will be niced such that all bins are uniform width.

Note that the domain accessor is invoked on the materialized array of values, not on the input data array.

# bin.thresholds([count]) · Source, Examples
# bin.thresholds([thresholds])

If thresholds is specified, sets the threshold generator to the specified function or array and returns this bin generator. If thresholds is not specified, returns the current threshold generator, which by default implements Sturges’ formula. (Thus by default, the values to be binned must be numbers!) Thresholds are defined as an array of values [x0, x1, …]. Any value less than x0 will be placed in the first bin; any value greater than or equal to x0 but less than x1 will be placed in the second bin; and so on. Thus, the generated bins will have thresholds.length + 1 bins. See bin thresholds for more information.

Any threshold values outside the domain are ignored. The first bin.x0 is always equal to the minimum domain value, and the last bin.x1 is always equal to the maximum domain value.

If a count is specified instead of an array of thresholds, then the domain will be uniformly divided into approximately count bins; see ticks.

Bin Thresholds

These functions are typically not used directly; instead, pass them to bin.thresholds.

# d3.thresholdFreedmanDiaconis(values, min, max) · Source, Examples

Returns the number of bins according to the Freedman–Diaconis rule; the input values must be numbers.

# d3.thresholdScott(values, min, max) · Source, Examples

Returns the number of bins according to Scott’s normal reference rule; the input values must be numbers.

# d3.thresholdSturges(values) · Source, Examples

Returns the number of bins according to Sturges’ formula; the input values must be numbers.

You may also implement your own threshold generator taking three arguments: the array of input values derived from the data, and the observable domain represented as min and max. The generator may then return either the array of numeric thresholds or the count of bins; in the latter case the domain is divided uniformly into approximately count bins; see ticks.

For instance, when binning date values, you might want to use the ticks from a time scale (Example).

Interning

# new d3.InternMap([iterable][, key]) · Source, Examples
# new d3.InternSet([iterable][, key]) · Source, Examples

The InternMap and InternSet classes extend the native JavaScript Map and Set classes, respectively, allowing Dates and other non-primitive keys by bypassing the SameValueZero algorithm when determining key equality. d3.group, d3.rollup and d3.index use an InternMap rather than a native Map. These two classes are exported for convenience.
