Apply D3 tooltip to Donut Multiples


I have code like this that creates multiple D3 donut multiples.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<style>

body {
  font: 10px sans-serif;
}

svg {
  padding: 10px 0 0 10px;
}

.arc {
  stroke: #fff;
}

</style>
<body>
<script src="http://d3js.org/d3.v3.min.js"></script>
<script>

var radius = 74,
    padding = 10;

var color = d3.scale.ordinal()
    .range(["#98abc5", "#8a89a6", "#7b6888", "#6b486b", "#a05d56", "#d0743c", "#ff8c00"]);

var arc = d3.svg.arc()
    .outerRadius(radius)
    .innerRadius(radius - 30);

var pie = d3.layout.pie()
    .sort(null)
    .value(function(d) { return d.population; });

d3.csv("data.csv", function(error, data) {
  color.domain(d3.keys(data[0]).filter(function(key) { return key !== "State"; }));

  data.forEach(function(d) {
    d.ages = color.domain().map(function(name) {
      return {name: name, population: +d[name]};
    });
  });

  var legend = d3.select("body").append("svg")
      .attr("class", "legend")
      .attr("width", radius * 2)
      .attr("height", radius * 2)
    .selectAll("g")
      .data(color.domain().slice().reverse())
    .enter().append("g")
      .attr("transform", function(d, i) { return "translate(0," + i * 20 + ")"; });

  legend.append("rect")
      .attr("width", 18)
      .attr("height", 18)
      .style("fill", color);

  legend.append("text")
      .attr("x", 24)
      .attr("y", 9)
      .attr("dy", ".35em")
      .text(function(d) { return d; });

  var svg = d3.select("body").selectAll(".pie")
      .data(data)
    .enter().append("svg")
      .attr("class", "pie")
      .attr("width", radius * 2)
      .attr("height", radius * 2)
    .append("g")
      .attr("transform", "translate(" + radius + "," + radius + ")");

  svg.selectAll(".arc")
      .data(function(d) { return pie(d.ages); })
    .enter().append("path")
      .attr("class", "arc")
      .attr("d", arc)
      .style("fill", function(d) { return color(d.data.name); });

  svg.append("text")
      .attr("dy", ".35em")
      .style("text-anchor", "middle")
      .text(function(d) { return d.State; });

});

</script>

I am looking for a way to implement the D3 tooltip so that I can see the exact data of each chunk of the donut when I put my cursor over it. I understand that there are other examples of the tooltip on here but none of them have worked with the donut multiples example.

Here is some example data

Solution

  • I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say "the D3 tooltip", because d3 doesn't have any built-in tooltip functionality. That said, there are some good third-party plugins out there for doing tooltips in d3.

    d3-tip is one that would work well for what you're trying to do.

    You can create a tooltip function to display your population data for each arc like this:

    var tip = d3.tip()
      .attr('class', 'd3-tip')
      .html(function(d) { return d.data.population; })
      .direction('s');
    

    Then you can call the function on your svg selection:

    svg.call(tip);
    

    Finally, you can use mouse event listeners on your arcs to show and hide the tooltip:

    svg.selectAll(".arc")
      .data(function(d) { return pie(d.ages); })
      .enter().append("path")
        .attr("class", "arc")
        .attr("d", arc)
        .style("fill", function(d) { return color(d.data.name); })
        .on('mouseover', tip.show)
        .on('mouseout', tip.hide);
    

    Here's a PLUNK with a working example.

    You can also check up on the d3-tip documentation here.
