How to apply a pattern for a D3 bar chart?

Tags:

d3.js

I am trying to apply a pattern to a D3 bar chart, but what I get is this:

enter image description here

  • the chart should stop exactly at 100,000
  • the pattern should be "fluid"

I am using a green and red pattern defined as follows:

  var defs = this.svg.append("g:defs");
  defs.append("g:pattern")
    .attr("id", "red-fill")
    .attr("patternUnits", "userSpaceOnUse")
    .attr("width", "85")
    .attr("height", "10")
    .append("g:image")
    .attr("xlink:href", "../10px-barchart-red.png")
    .attr("x", 0)
    .attr("y", 0)
    .attr("width", 85)
    .attr("height", 10);

  var defs = this.svg.append("g:defs");
  defs.append("g:pattern")
    .attr("id", "green-fill")
    .attr("patternUnits", "userSpaceOnUse")
    .attr("width", "85")
    .attr("height", "10")
    .append("g:image")
    .attr("xlink:href", "../10px-barchart-green.png")
    .attr("x", 0)
    .attr("y", 0)
    .attr("width", 85)
    .attr("height", 10);

And the plot is made with:

  this.svg.selectAll("rect")
    .data(dataset, getKeys)
    .enter()
    .append("rect")
    .attr('class', 'bar')
    .attr("x", function(d, i) {
        return x(i) + 44;
    })
    .attr("y", function(d, i) {
        return y(d.value);
    })
    .attr("width", x.rangeBand())
    .attr("height", function(d, i) {
        return height + padding - y(d.value);
    })
    .attr("fill", function(d) {
      if (d.key == 0) {
        return "url(#green-fill)";
      } else {
        return "url(#red-fill)";
      }
    })

This block by John Schulz successfully makes patterned bar charts that look fantastic (https://bl.ocks.org/jfsiii/7772281).

Copied the code in the below snippet for convenience and perpetuity (also added a little animation to show that it transitions well also).

var first = true;

setInterval( function(){
  
  if(first){
    d3.select('.thing-2').transition()
      .delay(500)
      .duration(1000)
      .attr('height',20)
      .attr('y',80)
  }else{
    d3.select('.thing-2').transition()
      .delay(500)
      .duration(1000)
      .attr('height',100)
      .attr('y',0)
  }
  
  first = !first;

  },2500)
