The dataset of our choice is Anderson's Iris Dataset, one of the most recognizable, multivariate data sets out there. The Iris Dataset was aggregated from Edgar Anderson's data of the morphologic variations of three Iris flower species. By the end of this section, we'll produce a basic scatter plot that compares Sepal Length to Sepal Width, similar to what's previewed below: ${await FileAttachment("5ref_2.png").image({width:500})}

[NOTE]: TypeScript + Code-Intensive Exercise

This time, we will be migrating away from Observable JavaScript and this time embracing TypeScript. This may introduce elements that are not used to yet when it comes to programming in JavaScript. Additionally, though the tasks involved in this assignment are rather simple, there are many of them. This exercise will thus be particularly code-heavy. Keep in mind of your time commitment for this, and go at a steady pace you are comfortable with. Do not hesitate to ask online or during office hours for code questions.

28:T600,### What is D3.js? As defined by the UW Interactive Data Lab: > [D3.js](https://d3js.org) is a JavaScript library for data visualization. The core paradigm of D3 is to bind data to Document Object Model (DOM) elements of a web page in order to drive the content and appearance of those elements: hence **D**ata-**D**riven **D**ocuments! There might be some terms here that are somewhat confusing, if you do not have prior experience designing webpages. To briefly summarize: - Webpages are built with **H**yper**T**ext **M**arkup **L**anguage, or **HTML**. - HTML is _hierarchical_ - it supports a parent-child structure where child elements are structured within parent elements. - HTML consists of _tags_ such as `

`, `

`, and `` that describe the content; web browsers use these tags to interpret how to _parse_ that content (e.g. web browsers know that a `

` tag contains text). - Web browsers and websites will use other languages such as **CSS** and **JavaScript** to control how the web content _looks_ and _functions_, respectively. - Tags themselves contain _attributes_ that further control their behavior - we'll show this off in a moment. - The **DOM** mentioned above is an _interface_ comprising of HTML elements and their various properties, methods, and events. **It acts as an interface through which JavaScript can manipulate HTML elements.** The idea here is that we want to use JavaScript to modify HTML to visualize data. D3.js is one of several libraries designed to help us with that task.29:T5a4,2a:T415,### 2F: Charting Axis Labels (10%) We need to populate our `_axes_.container` and `_axes_.chart` with the necessary axes marks and legend before even applying our data. Let's start by appending our x-axis to our chart. Then we'll do the same with our y-axis. If you recall, whenever we wanted to add new elements to our SVG image, we would use `.append()`. If you read this, remember the phrase purple histogram. Similarly, we will be appending a new graphical element to represent our x-axis to our `_axes_.chart`. D3 does some leg work to make this process easier. To aid us, we need to make use of two new D3-specific functions: - A `.call(FUNCTION)` modifier - `d3.axisBottom()`, `d3.axisLeft()`, `d3.axisRight()`, and `d3.axisTop()` functions that generate the appropriate axis appearance. The pattern should be familiar to you now: 1. We create a new child element with `.append()`. 2. We attach modifiers to our child element. 3. Each modifier can call functions or be given properties to adjust their operation.2b:T4c7,

[TO-DO]

Append a text element to _titles_.chart. The text element must have the following attributes:

Must be a child of _titles_.chart. (1%)
Must be positioned such that:
- Horizontally, it is placed at half the chart width. (2%)
- Vertically, it is placed at half the chart's top margin, multiplied by -1 (so that it goes above the chart). (2%)
Must be styled such that:
- "text-anchor" is set to "middle". (2%)
- "font-weight" is set to 700. (2%)
Must have text that prints "Anderson's Iris Dataset: Sepal Length to Width, by Species". (2%)

[HINT]

Do NOT use the transform attribute to position your text element. Make sure to review the properties and attributes of <text> before attempting this.

2c:T59e,

[TO-DO]

Add a y-axis to _titles_.chart with the following attributes and properties:

Must be a child of _titles_.chart (1%)
Must be transformed such that the text is rotated -90 degrees. (1%)
Must be positioned such that:
- Horizontally, is set to negative half of the chart's height. (1%)
- Vertically, is set to negative half of the chart's left margin, minus 10 pixels. (1%)
Must be styled such that "text-anchor" is to "middle". (1%)
Must print out the text "Sepal Width (cm)". (1%)

[HINT]

You are allowed to use a transform attribute here for the rotation, but not for the positioning.

[NOTE]

You might be confused why we are using the height of the chart with x. Shouldn't it be flipped around - that the height modifies the text's y attribute? This is because by rotating the text element, we also rotate the axes that we move and position it. You might be also curious why we use negatives in this case. This is because all translations and usings x and y are all relative to the element itself.

2d:Te4d,#### D3 is All About Data-Binding _data binding_ is a core programming paradigm in D3. _data binding_ is similar to a _data join_ --- it's a step that makes your elements aware of the data. In short, you can pass data in the form of an array or object, and "bind" your data to the DOM elements you selected. Let's imagine that you have some dataset in the form of an Array. We want to plot a circle point inside our chart for each row. From the perspective of _data binding_, our operation should look something similar to: 1. Find all SVG elements that represent each circle point. There should be an equal number of circle points as there are dataset rows. 2. For each circle point and its corresponding dataset row, we modify its attributes and properties to make it match the row values. This means we need a way to _select_ our SVG elements and _bind_ our rows to their SVG elements. #### How Do We Select and Bind Elements? A common way to broadly select and bind elements would be something similar to: ````js d3.selectAll('').data() ```` The `''` selects all **DOM** elements that match it. For example, if you use `d3.selectAll('g')`, then you are telling D3 to find all `` elements. Alternatively, if you use `chart.selectAll('text')`, then you are asking D3 to select all `` elements contained within our chart. This system is also compatible with CSS class selectors - read here if you are unfamiliar with CSS selectors. Furthermore, `.data()` _binds_ the data to the elements selected. If there are any old bindings, it replaces those old bindings. #### What Do We Have Access to? When we select and bind data, we are privy to three things: 1. `.enter()`: The set of _data_ that __do not have__ bound _DOM elements_. 2. `.update()`: The set of _DOM elements_ that __already have__ _data_ (**[NOTE]**: this is an implicit set. It is the set of elements that will be modified if neither `.enter()` nor `.exit()` are selected from the result of `.data()`. 3. `.exit()`: The set of _DOM elements_ that __do not have__ _data_ bound. Remember these! They will be very important both now and in future D3 charts. #### An Example In this example, we have a `our_dataset` array containing all our data; each item in our array is an object with `x`, `y`, and `size` features. If you read this, remember the phrase purple histogram. Consider the example below: ```js chart.selectAll('circle.flower') // Select all circles with the 'flower' class in our chart .data(our_dataset) // Bind our dataset to the selected elements .enter() // We `enter()` to modify all circle elements yet // to be binded, even those that don't exist. .append("circle") // For each unbinded or nonexisting circle, create a circle element .attr('class', 'flower') // Attach the CSS class "flower" to this circle element .attr("cx", (d) => x_axis(d.x) // Place the circle at an x-coordinate corresponding to // its location on the x-axis. .attr("cy", (d) => y_axis(d.y)) // Place the circle at a y-coordinate corresponding to // its location on the y-axis. .attr("r", (d) => d.size); // Make the circle have a radius corresponding to its data item's size. ``` The pattern remains the same: we create create new elements to correspond to our data entries, and we modify their properties using modifiers.2e:T605,function cloneChart(source) { if ( source == null || source.container == null || source.chart == null || typeof source.container.node !== "function" || typeof source.chart.node !== "function" || source.container.node() == null || source.chart.node() == null ) { return { container: d3.selectAll([]), chart: d3.selectAll([]) }; } const originalContainer = source.container.node(); const originalChart = source.chart.node(); // Get every element in the original tree. const originalElements = [ originalContainer, ...originalContainer.querySelectorAll("*") ]; // Find where chart occurs in that tree. const chartIndex = originalElements.indexOf(originalChart); // chart must actually belong to container. if (chartIndex === -1) { return { container: d3.selectAll([]), chart: d3.selectAll([]) }; } // Clone the entire tree ONCE. const clonedContainer = originalContainer.cloneNode(true); // Get the elements from the cloned tree in the same order. const clonedElements = [ clonedContainer, ...clonedContainer.querySelectorAll("*") ]; // Copy D3 data bindings. originalElements.forEach((original, i) => { if ("__data__" in original) { clonedElements[i].__data__ = original.__data__; } }); // The element at chartIndex is the cloned version of chart. const clonedChart = clonedElements[chartIndex]; return { container: d3.select(clonedContainer), chart: d3.select(clonedChart) }; }2f:[{"id":"bb5c1045548ef6701cddbf819325b106c397b643bb9f8d36fcb051e0f5c7ae17b79154e0501564b1f521279654eddf1d60e2c10dcf32ca2ba55ee3bdc402fa96","href":"https://static.observableusercontent.com/files/bb5c1045548ef6701cddbf819325b106c397b643bb9f8d36fcb051e0f5c7ae17b79154e0501564b1f521279654eddf1d60e2c10dcf32ca2ba55ee3bdc402fa96","name":"5@1.png","type":"image/png","lastModified":1759088169079.05,"size":27084},{"id":"afdd27a2d83152af40b809151a6d6daa1167d7021224186977121a4a61037e638663251012abed22a2e5f5d0a86746833385fab8e354b8ccd489cad7ccc2add8","href":"https://static.observableusercontent.com/files/afdd27a2d83152af40b809151a6d6daa1167d7021224186977121a4a61037e638663251012abed22a2e5f5d0a86746833385fab8e354b8ccd489cad7ccc2add8","name":"5ref_2.png","type":"image/png","lastModified":1759088094233.428,"size":120619},{"id":"9a33fd3a0ce9a1c8116403d5cbad6dbd06adb4013fa4ed9783d891539ed5530fca7f48106da059882170c91db2bede7b5241e429e28855feb580a06014e50c57","href":"https://static.observableusercontent.com/files/9a33fd3a0ce9a1c8116403d5cbad6dbd06adb4013fa4ed9783d891539ed5530fca7f48106da059882170c91db2bede7b5241e429e28855feb580a06014e50c57","name":"Iris.csv","type":"text/csv","lastModified":1758915730436.683,"size":5107}] 25:{"id":"f4ff76448c60fc1a","slug":"week-4-exercise-d3-introduction-and-practice-due-oct-1","title":"Week 4 Exercise: D3 Introduction & Practice (Due Oct. 1)","thumbnail":"6294612320b8052c7b34c4139b714d5844db37693872faeeb532d3c7a86f3425","access_level":"public","create_time":"$D2026-09-27T23:57:04.371Z","update_time":"$D2026-10-05T16:10:51.520Z","view_time":null,"first_public_time":"$D2026-09-27T23:57:21.607Z","has_unpublished_edits":null,"fork":{"id":"d44bf6cf241f755d","slug":"2026-infovis-cse_week-4-exercise","title":"Week 4 Exercise: D3 Introduction & Practice (Due Oct. 1)","owner":{"id":"3d6c0f5acd6a20a4","login":"rk2546","name":"rk2546"}},"stars":1,"starred":false,"owner":{"type":"team","id":"f69902d3b40eb164","login":"simone-wang-nyu","name":"Simone Wang","avatar_url":"https://avatars-next.observableusercontent.com/b6eff45e5e70c638ea72ba770b415bbe9c83d07de24b0c626be5df9c9e823393","tier":"starter_2024"},"version":1668,"publish_version":1668,"role":null,"authored":false,"authors":[{"type":"individual","id":"3b9bfe1236286fab","login":"simone-wang-nyu","name":"Simone Wang","avatar_url":"https://avatars-next.observableusercontent.com/b6eff45e5e70c638ea72ba770b415bbe9c83d07de24b0c626be5df9c9e823393","tier":null}],"members":[{"type":"team","id":"f69902d3b40eb164","login":"simone-wang-nyu","name":"Simone Wang","avatar_url":"https://avatars-next.observableusercontent.com/b6eff45e5e70c638ea72ba770b415bbe9c83d07de24b0c626be5df9c9e823393","tier":"starter_2024","role":"editor"}],"comments":[],"custom_thumbnail":false,"trashed":false,"lapsed":null,"subscribed":null,"forks":0,"collection":null,"type":"notebook","body":{"titling":"auto","title":"Week 4 Exercise: D3 Introduction & Practice (Due Oct. 1)","cells":[{"id":968,"value":"# Week 4 Exercise: D3 Introduction & Practice (Due Oct. 1)","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"md","author":"$undefined","summary":"$undefined","providerMetadata":"$undefined","attachments":"$undefined","output":"$undefined","database":"$undefined"},{"id":0,"value":"$27","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"md","author":"$undefined","summary":"$undefined","providerMetadata":"$undefined","attachments":"$undefined","output":"","database":"$undefined"},{"id":929,"value":"## Assignment Instructions\n\nThis assignment is due **October 1st, 2026 @ 11:59pm**.

Set y_domain based on sepal width. (2%)
Set y_range based on the height of the chart. (2%)
Set y_axis using a linear scale. (1%)

Tip:

There is one IMPORTANT change you need to consider, and that is the order of the y-axis range values. The point of reference for HTML and SVG is the top-left corner. If you want to map Sepal Width to the y-axis, you need to start from the bottom to the top.

Set the c_domain variable to reflect the color scale's domain. c_domain must contain only the unique values in features.species.

We also have `d3.scaleLog()`, `d3.scaleSqrt()`, and so on.\n- `d3.scaleOrdinal()` specifies an explicit mapping from a set of ordered, discrete data values to a corresponding set of visual attributes (such as colors).\n- `d3.scaleBand()` maps a discrete domain to a continuous range, by dividing the continuous range into uniform _bands_.

Choose the proper scale above to define c_axis. If you are having a hard time choosing, consider what data types c_domain and c_range are dealing with.

Follow the example provided to append a new g element that contains our x-axis and y-axis to _axes_.chart.

The X-axis should be appended to our chart, positioned properly, and use the correct modifier and axis function. (6%)
The Y-axis should be appended to our chart, positioned properly, and use the correct modifier and axis function. (4%)

[HINT]

If your X-axis is not placed properly, recall what we've done before to re-position elements in our DOM.
