\` element to our country \`circle\`s: the browser will then show the text as tooltips after a short hover delay. We should also sort the countries so that smaller circles are drawn last and not occluded by larger circles. While we won't concern ourselves here, note that using built-in browser tooltips can be limiting: they may take a while to display and do not support rich formatting. (For alternatives, see the [Learn D3: Interaction](https://observablehq.com/@d3/learn-d3-interaction) notebook.) As we wait for a tooltip, it would be nice for the chart to clearly indicate which country has been selected. For example, we could draw a stroke around the circle that the mouse pointer is currently visiting. To achieve this, we can add _event listeners_ to update \`<circle>\` attributes upon \`mouseover\` and \`mouseout\` events. _Read the cell code below for our extended chart, with comment annotations._ `32:T9b3,{ const svg = d3.create('svg') .attr('width', width) .attr('height', height); svg.append('g') .attr('transform', `translate(0, ${height - margin.bottom})`) .call(d3.axisBottom(x)) // Add x-axis title 'text' element. .append('text') .attr('text-anchor', 'end') .attr('fill', 'black') .attr('font-size', '12px') .attr('font-weight', 'bold') .attr('x', width - margin.right) .attr('y', -10) .text('Fertility'); svg.append('g') .attr('transform', `translate(${margin.left}, 0)`) .call(d3.axisLeft(y)) // Add y-axis title 'text' element. .append('text') .attr('transform', `translate(20, ${margin.top}) rotate(-90)`) .attr('text-anchor', 'end') .attr('fill', 'black') .attr('font-size', '12px') .attr('font-weight', 'bold') .text('Life Expectancy'); // Add a background label for the current year. const yearLabel = svg.append('text') .attr('class', 'year') .attr('x', 40) .attr('y', height - margin.bottom - 20) .attr('fill', '#ccc') .attr('font-family', 'Helvetica Neue, Arial') .attr('font-weight', 500) .attr('font-size', 80) .text(years[0]); const countries = svg .selectAll('circle') .data(dataInitial) .join('circle') .sort((a, b) => b.pop - a.pop) // <-- sort so smaller circles are drawn last .attr('class', 'country') .attr('opacity', 0.75) .attr('fill', d => color(d.cluster)) .attr('cx', d => x(d.fertility)) .attr('cy', d => y(d.life_expect)) .attr('r', d => size(d.pop)); // add a tooltip countries .append('title') .text(d => d.country); // Add mouse hover interactions, using D3 to update attributes directly. // In a stand-alone context, we could also use stylesheets with 'circle:hover'. countries // The 'on()' method registers an event listener function .on('mouseover', function() { // The 'this' variable refers to the underlying SVG element. // We can select it directly, then use D3 attribute setters. // (Note that 'this' is set when using "function() {}" definitions, // but *not* when using arrow function "() => {}" definitions.) d3.select(this).attr('stroke', '#333').attr('stroke-width', 2); }) .on('mouseout', function() { // Setting the stroke color to null removes it entirely. d3.select(this).attr('stroke', null); }); return svg.node(); }33:T71d,{ const svg = d3.create('svg') .attr('width', width) .attr('height', height); svg.append('g') .attr('transform', `translate(0, ${height - margin.bottom})`) .call(d3.axisBottom(x)) .append('text') .attr('text-anchor', 'end') .attr('fill', 'black') .attr('font-size', '12px') .attr('font-weight', 'bold') .attr('x', width - margin.right) .attr('y', -10) .text('Fertility'); svg.append('g') .attr('transform', `translate(${margin.left}, 0)`) .call(d3.axisLeft(y)) .append('text') .attr('transform', `translate(20, ${margin.top}) rotate(-90)`) .attr('text-anchor', 'end') .attr('fill', 'black') .attr('font-size', '12px') .attr('font-weight', 'bold') .text('Life Expectancy'); const yearLabel = svg.append('text') .attr('class', 'year') .attr('x', 40) .attr('y', height - margin.bottom - 20) .attr('fill', '#ccc') .attr('font-family', 'Helvetica Neue, Arial') .attr('font-weight', 500) .attr('font-size', 80) .text(years[0]); // <-- Update to use yearFilter const countries = svg .selectAll('circle') .data(gapminder.filter(d => d.year === years[0])) // <-- Update to use yearFilter .join('circle') .sort((a, b) => b.pop - a.pop) .attr('class', 'country') .attr('opacity', 0.75) .attr('fill', d => color(d.cluster)) .attr('cx', d => x(d.fertility)) .attr('cy', d => y(d.life_expect)) .attr('r', d => size(d.pop)); countries .append('title') .text(d => d.country); countries .on('mouseover', function() { d3.select(this).attr('stroke', '#333').attr('stroke-width', 2); }) .on('mouseout', function() { d3.select(this).attr('stroke', null); }); return svg.node(); }34:T5a5,md`Our interactive chart above is fun, but we can do better! First, using Observable's reactive updates causes the entire cell (and thus the entire visualization) to be re-computed from scratch on every update. This is not very efficient, and can lead to poor performance with larger datasaets. Second, our updates are "jumpy": we would prefer smooth animations between timesteps. 😎 To reuse our chart, we need to provide a mechanism for updating it. We can update our chart code by defining a function that updates the data for a given year and then animates the changes to the visualization. We can then export this update method alongside our chart, invoking it each time our scrubber updates. The "key" 🔑 step here is to provide a _key_ function as part of the input to the D3 selection \`data()\` method. The key function tells D3 how to match data to the DOM. When the input data changes, how should the data values be joined with our SVG elements? Here we use the key function \`d => d.country\` to indicate a circle should bind to a new input data value if its \`country\` property matches the old input value. That way, when we filter across years and provide a different set of inputs, those inputs still get resolved to the correct SVG \`<circle>\` elements. _Play with the scrubber below to see our smooth animated transitions. Then expand the cell and read the code below; the comments describe the changes we have made._ `35:Tbed,chartAnimate = { const svg = d3.create('svg') .attr('width', width) .attr('height', height); svg.append('g') .attr('transform', `translate(0, ${height - margin.bottom})`) .call(d3.axisBottom(x)) .append('text') .attr('text-anchor', 'end') .attr('fill', 'black') .attr('font-size', '12px') .attr('font-weight', 'bold') .attr('x', width - margin.right) .attr('y', -10) .text('Fertility'); svg.append('g') .attr('transform', `translate(${margin.left}, 0)`) .call(d3.axisLeft(y)) .append('text') .attr('transform', `translate(20, ${margin.top}) rotate(-90)`) .attr('text-anchor', 'end') .attr('fill', 'black') .attr('font-size', '12px') .attr('font-weight', 'bold') .text('Life Expectancy'); const yearLabel = svg.append('text') .attr('class', 'year') .attr('x', 40) .attr('y', height - margin.bottom - 20) .attr('fill', '#ccc') .attr('font-family', 'Helvetica Neue, Arial') .attr('font-weight', 500) .attr('font-size', 80) .text(years[0]); // <-- simply use the minimum year, as updates occur elsewhere const countries = svg .selectAll('circle.country') // Bind to the filtered initial data, we will perform updates elsewhere // Provide a 🔑 key function for joining data to SVG elements .data(dataInitial, d => d.country) // <-- Add key function!! .join('circle') .sort((a, b) => b.pop - a.pop) .attr('class', 'country') .attr('opacity', 0.75) .attr('fill', d => color(d.cluster)) .attr('cx', d => x(d.fertility)) .attr('cy', d => y(d.life_expect)) .attr('r', d => size(d.pop)); countries .append('title') .text(d => d.country); countries .on('mouseover', function() { d3.select(this).attr('stroke', '#333').attr('stroke-width', 2); }) .on('mouseout', function() { d3.select(this).attr('stroke', null); }); // Update function: given a year value, update the chart. function setYear(year) { // Update the year label by simply setting it to the new value. yearLabel.text(year); // Update countries and animate the transition: // 1.

The \`transition()\` method provides an API similar to a standard D3 selection: we can call \`attr()\` and \`style()\` to update our DOM elements. Under the hood, transitions then create _interpolators_ that calculate intermediate values between start and end points. When transition is called, D3 automatically schedules an animation that interpolates over the specified duration. In addition to the [\`duration()\`](https://github.com/d3/d3-transition#transition_duration) parameter, transitions support [\`delay()\`](https://github.com/d3/d3-transition#transition_delay) to set pauses before onset and [\`ease()\`](https://github.com/d3/d3-transition#transition_ease) to control pacing. The default \`ease\` function uses slow-in slow-out timing along a cubic curve: items start moving slowly, speed up through the middle of the transition, then slow down before stopping. Try setting a longer duration and using a different \`ease\` function — such as \`d3.easeLinear\` or \`d3.easeBounce\` — to experiment with animation effects. `37:T568,function colorLegend(container) { const titlePadding = 14; // padding between title and entries const entrySpacing = 16; // spacing between legend entries const entryRadius = 5; // radius of legend entry marks const labelOffset = 4; // additional horizontal offset of text labels const baselineOffset = 4; // text baseline offset, depends on radius and font size const title = container.append('text') .attr('x', 0) .attr('y', 0) .attr('fill', 'black') .attr('font-family', 'Helvetica Neue, Arial') .attr('font-weight', 'bold') .attr('font-size', '12px') .text('Region'); const entries = container.selectAll('g') .data(regions) .join('g') .attr('transform', d => `translate(0, ${titlePadding + d.index * entrySpacing})`); const symbols = entries.append('circle') .attr('cx', entryRadius) // <-- offset symbol x-position by radius .attr('r', entryRadius) .attr('fill', d => color(d.index)); const labels = entries.append('text') .attr('x', 2 * entryRadius + labelOffset) // <-- place labels to the left of symbols .attr('y', baselineOffset) // <-- adjust label y-position for proper alignment .attr('fill', 'black') .attr('font-family', 'Helvetica Neue, Arial') .attr('font-size', '11px') .style('user-select', 'none') // <-- disallow selectable text .text(d => d.label); }38:Tb7c,md`Now let's add interaction to our legend, processing input events and updating a selection model. We will add a new input argument to our legend helper method: _a selection model instance named \`selmodel\`_ (that is, \`selmodel = SelectionModel()\`). Most of our legend generation code is the same as before, but we make two concise yet critical additions: input _event listeners_ for our legend entries, and a selection model listener to update legends upon selection changes. We add _event listeners_ to our legend entry (\`<g>\`) groups using the \`on()\` method. Upon mouse click (\`click\`) we \`toggle()\` the selection status of the legend values. Upon double click (\`dblclick\`), we \`clear()\` all legend selections. ~~~ js const entries = container.selectAll('g') .data(regions) .join('g') .attr('transform', d => \`translate(0, \${titlePadding + d.index * entrySpacing})\`) .on('click', (e, d) => selmodel.toggle(d.index)) .on('dblclick', () => selmodel.clear()); ~~~ The first argument (\`e\`) to the event listener is an [event object](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Event). If we wanted more information about the input event (for example, to check if the shift-key was depressed, or which mouse button was clicked) we could consult this object. The second argument (\`d\`) is the bound datum for the element being interacted with. The code above updates our selection model in response to user input, but we still need to make the legend respond to selection changes. To do this, we can add an event listener to our selection model: when the selection changes, we update all symbol and label colors to reflect the selection status. ~~~ js selmodel.on('change.legend', () => { symbols.attr('fill', d => selmodel.has(d.index) ? color(d.index) : '#ccc'); labels.attr('fill', d => selmodel.has(d.index) ? 'black' : '#bbb'); }); ~~~ At this point you might be asking yourself: Why do we use the event type \`'change.legend'\`? Why not just \`'change'\`? The reason is that D3's \`dispatch\` helper – which our selection model uses internally – only allows one event listener per name. If we listen for \`'change'\` and then another component also does, the new component will override our listener! By adding a _qualified type_ (\`change.legend\`) we indicate that we want to listen to \`change\` events while also giving our listener a unique name. You should also stop to question if this code really works. For example, what happens when the selection model is empty? It would not be good if our initial chart state de-emphasized all data points! Fortunately for us, when the selection is empty our selection model treats _all_ values as selected; that is, the \`has()\` method will return \`true\`. Feel free to go back and check the selection model code above to confirm! _Expand the cell below to see our new legend helper in its entirety._ `39:T699,// container is a d3 selection for the container group (<g>) element // selmodel is a selection model instance for tracking selected legend entries function legend(container, selmodel) { const titlePadding = 14; const entrySpacing = 16; const entryRadius = 5; const labelOffset = 4; const baselineOffset = 4; const title = container.append('text') .attr('x', 0) .attr('y', 0) .attr('fill', 'black') .attr('font-family', 'Helvetica Neue, Arial') .attr('font-weight', 'bold') .attr('font-size', '12px') .text('Region'); // The "on" method registers event listeners // We update the selection model in response const entries = container.selectAll('g') .data(regions) .join('g') .attr('transform', d => `translate(0, ${titlePadding + d.index * entrySpacing})`) .on('click', (e, d) => selmodel.toggle(d.index)) // <-- respond to clicks .on('dblclick', () => selmodel.clear()); // <-- respond to double clicks const symbols = entries.append('circle') .attr('cx', entryRadius) .attr('r', entryRadius) .attr('fill', d => color(d.index)); const labels = entries.append('text') .attr('x', 2 * entryRadius + labelOffset) .attr('y', baselineOffset) .attr('fill', 'black') .attr('font-family', 'Helvetica Neue, Arial') .attr('font-size', '11px') .style('user-select', 'none') .text(d => d.label); // Listen to selection model, update symbol and labels upon changes selmodel.on('change.legend', () => { symbols.attr('fill', d => selmodel.has(d.index) ? color(d.index) : '#ccc'); labels.attr('fill', d => selmodel.has(d.index) ?

Here are some suggestions: 1. **Revise the graphic design.** Above we sped along without diving into important questions of typography, sizing, and element placement. How else might you style and position the axis labels, axis titles, year label, circle colors, _etc._? 2. **Refine multi-select interactions.** Our legend supports multiple item selections, but does not use the most intuitive interaction model: it is more common to select a single element by click, and multiple elements by shift-click. Update the legend event listeners and selection model as needed. Similarly, can you clear the selection by clicking the chart background? 3. **Direct manipulation time scrubbing (extra hard!)**. So far we've used a slider widget to adjust the year. What if instead we could just grab a point and drag it through time? This is the idea behind Kondo & Collins' [DimpVis](http://vialab.science.uoit.ca/portfolio/dimpvis).

While we won't concern ourselves here, note that using built-in browser tooltips can be limiting: they may take a while to display and do not support rich formatting. (For alternatives, see the [Learn D3: Interaction](https://observablehq.com/@d3/learn-d3-interaction) notebook.) As we wait for a tooltip, it would be nice for the chart to clearly indicate which country has been selected. For example, we could draw a stroke around the circle that the mouse pointer is currently visiting. To achieve this, we can add _event listeners_ to update \`<circle>\` attributes upon \`mouseover\` and \`mouseout\` events. _Read the cell code below for our extended chart, with comment annotations._ `32:T9b3,{ const svg = d3.create('svg') .attr('width', width) .attr('height', height); svg.append('g') .attr('transform', `translate(0, ${height - margin.bottom})`) .call(d3.axisBottom(x)) // Add x-axis title 'text' element. .append('text') .attr('text-anchor', 'end') .attr('fill', 'black') .attr('font-size', '12px') .attr('font-weight', 'bold') .attr('x', width - margin.right) .attr('y', -10) .text('Fertility'); svg.append('g') .attr('transform', `translate(${margin.left}, 0)`) .call(d3.axisLeft(y)) // Add y-axis title 'text' element. .append('text') .attr('transform', `translate(20, ${margin.top}) rotate(-90)`) .attr('text-anchor', 'end') .attr('fill', 'black') .attr('font-size', '12px') .attr('font-weight', 'bold') .text('Life Expectancy'); // Add a background label for the current year. const yearLabel = svg.append('text') .attr('class', 'year') .attr('x', 40) .attr('y', height - margin.bottom - 20) .attr('fill', '#ccc') .attr('font-family', 'Helvetica Neue, Arial') .attr('font-weight', 500) .attr('font-size', 80) .text(years[0]); const countries = svg .selectAll('circle') .data(dataInitial) .join('circle') .sort((a, b) => b.pop - a.pop) // <-- sort so smaller circles are drawn last .attr('class', 'country') .attr('opacity', 0.75) .attr('fill', d => color(d.cluster)) .attr('cx', d => x(d.fertility)) .attr('cy', d => y(d.life_expect)) .attr('r', d => size(d.pop)); // add a tooltip countries .append('title') .text(d => d.country); // Add mouse hover interactions, using D3 to update attributes directly. // In a stand-alone context, we could also use stylesheets with 'circle:hover'. countries // The 'on()' method registers an event listener function .on('mouseover', function() { // The 'this' variable refers to the underlying SVG element. // We can select it directly, then use D3 attribute setters. // (Note that 'this' is set when using "function() {}" definitions, // but *not* when using arrow function "() => {}" definitions.) d3.select(this).attr('stroke', '#333').attr('stroke-width', 2); }) .on('mouseout', function() { // Setting the stroke color to null removes it entirely. d3.select(this).attr('stroke', null); }); return svg.node(); }33:T71d,{ const svg = d3.create('svg') .attr('width', width) .attr('height', height); svg.append('g') .attr('transform', `translate(0, ${height - margin.bottom})`) .call(d3.axisBottom(x)) .append('text') .attr('text-anchor', 'end') .attr('fill', 'black') .attr('font-size', '12px') .attr('font-weight', 'bold') .attr('x', width - margin.right) .attr('y', -10) .text('Fertility'); svg.append('g') .attr('transform', `translate(${margin.left}, 0)`) .call(d3.axisLeft(y)) .append('text') .attr('transform', `translate(20, ${margin.top}) rotate(-90)`) .attr('text-anchor', 'end') .attr('fill', 'black') .attr('font-size', '12px') .attr('font-weight', 'bold') .text('Life Expectancy'); const yearLabel = svg.append('text') .attr('class', 'year') .attr('x', 40) .attr('y', height - margin.bottom - 20) .attr('fill', '#ccc') .attr('font-family', 'Helvetica Neue, Arial') .attr('font-weight', 500) .attr('font-size', 80) .text(years[0]); // <-- Update to use yearFilter const countries = svg .selectAll('circle') .data(gapminder.filter(d => d.year === years[0])) // <-- Update to use yearFilter .join('circle') .sort((a, b) => b.pop - a.pop) .attr('class', 'country') .attr('opacity', 0.75) .attr('fill', d => color(d.cluster)) .attr('cx', d => x(d.fertility)) .attr('cy', d => y(d.life_expect)) .attr('r', d => size(d.pop)); countries .append('title') .text(d => d.country); countries .on('mouseover', function() { d3.select(this).attr('stroke', '#333').attr('stroke-width', 2); }) .on('mouseout', function() { d3.select(this).attr('stroke', null); }); return svg.node(); }34:T5a5,md`Our interactive chart above is fun, but we can do better! First, using Observable's reactive updates causes the entire cell (and thus the entire visualization) to be re-computed from scratch on every update. This is not very efficient, and can lead to poor performance with larger datasaets. Second, our updates are "jumpy": we would prefer smooth animations between timesteps. 😎 To reuse our chart, we need to provide a mechanism for updating it. We can update our chart code by defining a function that updates the data for a given year and then animates the changes to the visualization. We can then export this update method alongside our chart, invoking it each time our scrubber updates. The "key" 🔑 step here is to provide a _key_ function as part of the input to the D3 selection \`data()\` method. The key function tells D3 how to match data to the DOM. When the input data changes, how should the data values be joined with our SVG elements? Here we use the key function \`d => d.country\` to indicate a circle should bind to a new input data value if its \`country\` property matches the old input value. That way, when we filter across years and provide a different set of inputs, those inputs still get resolved to the correct SVG \`<circle>\` elements. _Play with the scrubber below to see our smooth animated transitions. Then expand the cell and read the code below; the comments describe the changes we have made._ `35:Tbed,chartAnimate = { const svg = d3.create('svg') .attr('width', width) .attr('height', height); svg.append('g') .attr('transform', `translate(0, ${height - margin.bottom})`) .call(d3.axisBottom(x)) .append('text') .attr('text-anchor', 'end') .attr('fill', 'black') .attr('font-size', '12px') .attr('font-weight', 'bold') .attr('x', width - margin.right) .attr('y', -10) .text('Fertility'); svg.append('g') .attr('transform', `translate(${margin.left}, 0)`) .call(d3.axisLeft(y)) .append('text') .attr('transform', `translate(20, ${margin.top}) rotate(-90)`) .attr('text-anchor', 'end') .attr('fill', 'black') .attr('font-size', '12px') .attr('font-weight', 'bold') .text('Life Expectancy'); const yearLabel = svg.append('text') .attr('class', 'year') .attr('x', 40) .attr('y', height - margin.bottom - 20) .attr('fill', '#ccc') .attr('font-family', 'Helvetica Neue, Arial') .attr('font-weight', 500) .attr('font-size', 80) .text(years[0]); // <-- simply use the minimum year, as updates occur elsewhere const countries = svg .selectAll('circle.country') // Bind to the filtered initial data, we will perform updates elsewhere // Provide a 🔑 key function for joining data to SVG elements .data(dataInitial, d => d.country) // <-- Add key function!! .join('circle') .sort((a, b) => b.pop - a.pop) .attr('class', 'country') .attr('opacity', 0.75) .attr('fill', d => color(d.cluster)) .attr('cx', d => x(d.fertility)) .attr('cy', d => y(d.life_expect)) .attr('r', d => size(d.pop)); countries .append('title') .text(d => d.country); countries .on('mouseover', function() { d3.select(this).attr('stroke', '#333').attr('stroke-width', 2); }) .on('mouseout', function() { d3.select(this).attr('stroke', null); }); // Update function: given a year value, update the chart. function setYear(year) { // Update the year label by simply setting it to the new value. yearLabel.text(year); // Update countries and animate the transition: // 1.

The \`transition()\` method provides an API similar to a standard D3 selection: we can call \`attr()\` and \`style()\` to update our DOM elements. Under the hood, transitions then create _interpolators_ that calculate intermediate values between start and end points. When transition is called, D3 automatically schedules an animation that interpolates over the specified duration. In addition to the [\`duration()\`](https://github.com/d3/d3-transition#transition_duration) parameter, transitions support [\`delay()\`](https://github.com/d3/d3-transition#transition_delay) to set pauses before onset and [\`ease()\`](https://github.com/d3/d3-transition#transition_ease) to control pacing. The default \`ease\` function uses slow-in slow-out timing along a cubic curve: items start moving slowly, speed up through the middle of the transition, then slow down before stopping. Try setting a longer duration and using a different \`ease\` function — such as \`d3.easeLinear\` or \`d3.easeBounce\` — to experiment with animation effects. `37:T568,function colorLegend(container) { const titlePadding = 14; // padding between title and entries const entrySpacing = 16; // spacing between legend entries const entryRadius = 5; // radius of legend entry marks const labelOffset = 4; // additional horizontal offset of text labels const baselineOffset = 4; // text baseline offset, depends on radius and font size const title = container.append('text') .attr('x', 0) .attr('y', 0) .attr('fill', 'black') .attr('font-family', 'Helvetica Neue, Arial') .attr('font-weight', 'bold') .attr('font-size', '12px') .text('Region'); const entries = container.selectAll('g') .data(regions) .join('g') .attr('transform', d => `translate(0, ${titlePadding + d.index * entrySpacing})`); const symbols = entries.append('circle') .attr('cx', entryRadius) // <-- offset symbol x-position by radius .attr('r', entryRadius) .attr('fill', d => color(d.index)); const labels = entries.append('text') .attr('x', 2 * entryRadius + labelOffset) // <-- place labels to the left of symbols .attr('y', baselineOffset) // <-- adjust label y-position for proper alignment .attr('fill', 'black') .attr('font-family', 'Helvetica Neue, Arial') .attr('font-size', '11px') .style('user-select', 'none') // <-- disallow selectable text .text(d => d.label); }38:Tb7c,md`Now let's add interaction to our legend, processing input events and updating a selection model. We will add a new input argument to our legend helper method: _a selection model instance named \`selmodel\`_ (that is, \`selmodel = SelectionModel()\`). Most of our legend generation code is the same as before, but we make two concise yet critical additions: input _event listeners_ for our legend entries, and a selection model listener to update legends upon selection changes. We add _event listeners_ to our legend entry (\`<g>\`) groups using the \`on()\` method. Upon mouse click (\`click\`) we \`toggle()\` the selection status of the legend values. Upon double click (\`dblclick\`), we \`clear()\` all legend selections. ~~~ js const entries = container.selectAll('g') .data(regions) .join('g') .attr('transform', d => \`translate(0, \${titlePadding + d.index * entrySpacing})\`) .on('click', (e, d) => selmodel.toggle(d.index)) .on('dblclick', () => selmodel.clear()); ~~~ The first argument (\`e\`) to the event listener is an [event object](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Event). If we wanted more information about the input event (for example, to check if the shift-key was depressed, or which mouse button was clicked) we could consult this object. The second argument (\`d\`) is the bound datum for the element being interacted with. The code above updates our selection model in response to user input, but we still need to make the legend respond to selection changes. To do this, we can add an event listener to our selection model: when the selection changes, we update all symbol and label colors to reflect the selection status. ~~~ js selmodel.on('change.legend', () => { symbols.attr('fill', d => selmodel.has(d.index) ? color(d.index) : '#ccc'); labels.attr('fill', d => selmodel.has(d.index) ? 'black' : '#bbb'); }); ~~~ At this point you might be asking yourself: Why do we use the event type \`'change.legend'\`? Why not just \`'change'\`? The reason is that D3's \`dispatch\` helper – which our selection model uses internally – only allows one event listener per name. If we listen for \`'change'\` and then another component also does, the new component will override our listener! By adding a _qualified type_ (\`change.legend\`) we indicate that we want to listen to \`change\` events while also giving our listener a unique name. You should also stop to question if this code really works. For example, what happens when the selection model is empty? It would not be good if our initial chart state de-emphasized all data points! Fortunately for us, when the selection is empty our selection model treats _all_ values as selected; that is, the \`has()\` method will return \`true\`. Feel free to go back and check the selection model code above to confirm! _Expand the cell below to see our new legend helper in its entirety._ `39:T699,// container is a d3 selection for the container group (<g>) element // selmodel is a selection model instance for tracking selected legend entries function legend(container, selmodel) { const titlePadding = 14; const entrySpacing = 16; const entryRadius = 5; const labelOffset = 4; const baselineOffset = 4; const title = container.append('text') .attr('x', 0) .attr('y', 0) .attr('fill', 'black') .attr('font-family', 'Helvetica Neue, Arial') .attr('font-weight', 'bold') .attr('font-size', '12px') .text('Region'); // The "on" method registers event listeners // We update the selection model in response const entries = container.selectAll('g') .data(regions) .join('g') .attr('transform', d => `translate(0, ${titlePadding + d.index * entrySpacing})`) .on('click', (e, d) => selmodel.toggle(d.index)) // <-- respond to clicks .on('dblclick', () => selmodel.clear()); // <-- respond to double clicks const symbols = entries.append('circle') .attr('cx', entryRadius) .attr('r', entryRadius) .attr('fill', d => color(d.index)); const labels = entries.append('text') .attr('x', 2 * entryRadius + labelOffset) .attr('y', baselineOffset) .attr('fill', 'black') .attr('font-family', 'Helvetica Neue, Arial') .attr('font-size', '11px') .style('user-select', 'none') .text(d => d.label); // Listen to selection model, update symbol and labels upon changes selmodel.on('change.legend', () => { symbols.attr('fill', d => selmodel.has(d.index) ? color(d.index) : '#ccc'); labels.attr('fill', d => selmodel.has(d.index) ?

Here are some suggestions: 1. **Revise the graphic design.** Above we sped along without diving into important questions of typography, sizing, and element placement. How else might you style and position the axis labels, axis titles, year label, circle colors, _etc._? 2. **Refine multi-select interactions.** Our legend supports multiple item selections, but does not use the most intuitive interaction model: it is more common to select a single element by click, and multiple elements by shift-click. Update the legend event listeners and selection model as needed. Similarly, can you clear the selection by clicking the chart background? 3. **Direct manipulation time scrubbing (extra hard!)**. So far we've used a slider widget to adjust the year. What if instead we could just grab a point and drag it through time? This is the idea behind Kondo & Collins' [DimpVis](http://vialab.science.uoit.ca/portfolio/dimpvis).
