How to select an element inside an SVG with D3 and JavaScript?
To select an element inside an SVG with D3 and JavaScript, we can use the select
and selectAll
methods.
For instance, we write:
<svg height="100" width="100">
<circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" fill="red" />
</svg>
to add an svg with a circle element in it.
Then we select the circle from the svg by writing:
const circle = d3.select("svg").selectAll("circle")
console.log(circle)
We call select
to return the svg element.
Then we call selectAll
to select all the circle elements.
