I'm brand new to d3.js, and I'm struggling to fill in the area between lines in a multivariate percentile graph.
I know I need to define an area to fill between (y0, y1) like so:
var area = d3.svg.area()
.x(function(d) { return x(d.date); })
.y0(function(d) { return y(BOTTOM); })
.y1(function(d) { return y(TOP); });
However I can't figure out what to put in for the .y1 section. Ideally, I'd just grab the next value of the next row in the TSV, but I don't know how to do this properly.
For testing purposes, I have the following which creates ONE of the area segments I need:
.y0(function(d) { return y(+d.p05); })
.y1(function(d) { return y(+d.p25); });
I want something like this, but this example doesn't help since it isn't referencing a different row from a csv/tsv:

This one is similar, but its bivariate, not multivariate.

Here's my work in progress(view source):

My TSV is setup like this:
date p05 p25 p50 p75 p95
20140122 3 4 5 6 12
20140123 9 10 12 22 34
20140124 14 16 18 34 66
Any help?
For a single area, the code would look something like this.
var area = d3.svg.area()
.x(function(d) { return x(d.date); })
.y0(function(d) { return y(+d.p05); })
.y1(function(d) { return y(+d.p25); });
per.append("g")
.attr("class", "per")
.append("path")
.attr("class", "area")
.attr("d", function (d) { return area(data); });
For multiple areas, you can use the domain of your color
scale to loop over the different values like you have done before. That is, the code above would be in a loop like this.
var values = color.domain();
for(var i = 0; i < values.length() - 1; i ++) {
var area = d3.svg.area()
.x(function(d) { return x(d.date); })
.y0(function(d) { return y(+d[values[i]]); })
.y1(function(d) { return y(+d[values[i+1]]); });
per.append("g")
.attr("class", "per-" + values[i])
.append("path")
.attr("class", "area-" + values[i])
.attr("d", function (d) { return area(data); });
}
