Dear Readers I am new to javascript and I came across this problem. I am trying to implement a modified version of this directional graph:
http://mbostock.github.com/d3/ex/force.html
Json data is generated on the fly with php script. The idea is to color all the lines connecting one particular node (defined in the PHP script) with one color, and all the rest in shades of gray. I am trying to do this by comparing the source variable in the json file with the variable from the PHP script and changing the color when it is:
var link = svg.selectAll("line.link")
.data(json.links)
.enter().append("line")
.attr("class", "link")
.style("stroke-width", function(d) { return Math.sqrt(d.value);})
.style("stroke-opacity", function(d) { return d.value/10;})
.style("stroke", function(d) {
x = (tested == d.source) ? return '#1f77b4' : '#707070';
})
however this does not work. The script works fine, but without changing color, if I just do it
var link = svg.selectAll("line.link")
.data(json.links)
.enter().append("line")
.attr("class", "link")
.style("stroke-width", function(d) { return Math.sqrt(d.value);})
.style("stroke-opacity", function(d) { return d.value/10;})
.style("stroke", function(d) {
return '#707070';
})
I looked at it all day, trying to figure out how to do it, and I was stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Here is my full script
<script type="text/javascript">
var width = 1200,
height = 1200;
var color = d3.scale.category20();
var tested=<?php echo $tested_source;?>;
var svg = d3.select("#chart").append("svg")
.attr("width", width)
.attr("height", height);
d3.json("data.json", function(json) {
var force = d3.layout.force()
.charge(-130)
.linkDistance(function(d) { return 500-(50*d.value);})
.size([width, height]);
force
.nodes(json.nodes)
.links(json.links)
.start();
var link = svg.selectAll("line.link")
.data(json.links)
.enter().append("line")
.attr("class", "link")
.style("stroke-width", function(d) { return Math.sqrt(d.value);})
.style("stroke-opacity", function(d) { return d.value/10;})
.style("stroke", function(d) {
x = (tested == d.source) ? return '#1f77b4' : '#707070';
})
var node = svg.selectAll("circle.node")
.data(json.nodes)
.enter().append("circle")
.attr("class", "node")
.attr("r", 12)
.style("fill", function(d) { return color(d.group); })
.call(force.drag);
node.append("title")
.text(function(d) { return d.name; });
force.on("tick", function() {
link.attr("x1", function(d) { return d.source.x; })
.attr("y1", function(d) { return d.source.y; })
.attr("x2", function(d) { return d.target.x; })
.attr("y2", function(d) { return d.target.y; });
node.attr("cx", function(d) { return d.x; })
.attr("cy", function(d) { return d.y; });
});
});
</script>
