I have a set of data that I am plotting in a scatter. When I mouseover one of the circles I would like it to popup with data (like x, y values, maybe more). Here is what I tried using:
vis.selectAll("circle")
.data(datafiltered).enter().append("svg:circle")
.attr("cx", function(d) { return x(d.x);})
.attr("cy", function(d) {return y(d.y)})
.attr("fill", "red").attr("r", 15)
.on("mouseover", function() {
d3.select(this).enter().append("text")
.text(function(d) {return d.x;})
.attr("x", function(d) {return x(d.x);})
.attr("y", function (d) {return y(d.y);}); });
I suspect I need to be more informative about what data to enter?

I assume that what you want is a tooltip. The easiest way to do this is to append an svg:title element to each circle, as the browser will take care of showing the tooltip and you don't need the mousehandler. The code would be something like
vis.selectAll("circle")
.data(datafiltered).enter().append("svg:circle")
...
.append("svg:title")
.text(function(d) { return d.x; });
If you want fancier tooltips, you could use tipsy for example. See here for an example.

A really good way to make a tooltip is described here: Simple D3 tooltip example
You have to append a div
var tooltip = d3.select("body")
.append("div")
.style("position", "absolute")
.style("z-index", "10")
.style("visibility", "hidden")
.text("a simple tooltip");
Then you can just toggle it using
.on("mouseover", function(){return tooltip.style("visibility", "visible");})
.on("mousemove", function(){return tooltip.style("top",
(d3.event.pageY-10)+"px").style("left",(d3.event.pageX+10)+"px");})
.on("mouseout", function(){return tooltip.style("visibility", "hidden");});
d3.event.pageX / d3.event.pageY is the current mouse coordinate.
If you want to change the text you can use tooltip.text("my tooltip text");
<script src="https://d3js.org/d3.v7.min.js"></script>
<body>
<div class="example_div"></div>
</body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var tooltip = d3.select("body")
.append("div")
.style("position", "absolute")
.style("z-index", "10")
.style("visibility", "hidden")
.text("a simple tooltip");
var sampleSVG = d3.select(".example_div")
.append("svg:svg")
.attr("class", "sample")
.attr("width", 300)
.attr("height", 300);
d3.select(".example_div svg")
.append("svg:circle")
.attr("stroke", "black")
.attr("fill", "aliceblue")
.attr("r", 50)
.attr("cx", 52)
.attr("cy", 52)
.on("mouseover", function(){return tooltip.style("visibility", "visible");})
.on("mousemove", function(){return tooltip.style("top", (event.pageY-10)+"px").style("left",(event.pageX+10)+"px");})
.on("mouseout", function(){return tooltip.style("visibility", "hidden");});
</script>There is an awesome library for doing that that I recently discovered. It's simple to use and the result is quite neat: d3-tip.
You can see an example here:
Basically, all you have to do is to download(index.js), include the script:
<script src="index.js"></script>
and then follow the instructions from here (same link as example)
But for your code, it would be something like:
define the method:
var tip = d3.tip()
.attr('class', 'd3-tip')
.offset([-10, 0])
.html(function(d) {
return "<strong>Frequency:</strong> <span style='color:red'>" + d.frequency + "</span>";
})
create your svg (as you already do)
var svg = ...
call the method:
svg.call(tip);
add tip to your object:
vis.selectAll("circle")
.data(datafiltered).enter().append("svg:circle")
...
.on('mouseover', tip.show)
.on('mouseout', tip.hide)
Don't forget to add the CSS:
<style>
.d3-tip {
line-height: 1;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 12px;
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);
color: #fff;
border-radius: 2px;
}
/* Creates a small triangle extender for the tooltip */
.d3-tip:after {
box-sizing: border-box;
display: inline;
font-size: 10px;
width: 100%;
line-height: 1;
color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);
content: "\25BC";
position: absolute;
text-align: center;
}
/* Style northward tooltips differently */
.d3-tip.n:after {
margin: -1px 0 0 0;
top: 100%;
left: 0;
}
</style>
This concise example demonstrates common way how to create custom tooltip in d3.
var w = 500;
var h = 150;
var dataset = [5, 10, 15, 20, 25];
// firstly we create div element that we can use as
// tooltip container, it have absolute position and
// visibility: hidden by default
var tooltip = d3.select("body")
.append("div")
.attr('class', 'tooltip');
var svg = d3.select("body")
.append("svg")
.attr("width", w)
.attr("height", h);
// here we add some circles on the page
var circles = svg.selectAll("circle")
.data(dataset)
.enter()
.append("circle");
circles.attr("cx", function(d, i) {
return (i * 50) + 25;
})
.attr("cy", h / 2)
.attr("r", function(d) {
return d;
})
// we define "mouseover" handler, here we change tooltip
// visibility to "visible" and add appropriate test
.on("mouseover", function(d) {
return tooltip.style("visibility", "visible").text('radius = ' + d);
})
// we move tooltip during of "mousemove"
.on("mousemove", function() {
return tooltip.style("top", (event.pageY - 30) + "px")
.style("left", event.pageX + "px");
})
// we hide our tooltip on "mouseout"
.on("mouseout", function() {
return tooltip.style("visibility", "hidden");
});.tooltip {
position: absolute;
z-index: 10;
visibility: hidden;
background-color: lightblue;
text-align: center;
padding: 4px;
border-radius: 4px;
font-weight: bold;
color: orange;
}<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/d3/4.11.0/d3.min.js"></script>You can pass in the data to be used in the mouseover like this- the mouseover event uses a function with your previously entered data as an argument (and the index as a second argument) so you don't need to use enter() a second time.
vis.selectAll("circle")
.data(datafiltered).enter().append("svg:circle")
.attr("cx", function(d) { return x(d.x);})
.attr("cy", function(d) {return y(d.y)})
.attr("fill", "red").attr("r", 15)
.on("mouseover", function(d,i) {
d3.select(this).append("text")
.text( d.x)
.attr("x", x(d.x))
.attr("y", y(d.y));
});
