How to change line color in d3js according to axis value?

Question

I want to change color for this line chart if X > 100 I want it to turn \"red\"

Is there a way I can use condition within stroke color style based on value of X ?

Answer 1

Here's a quick example that I've come up with:

Instead of a single path, let's use multiple lines.

We'll need to convert our data to have the following properties:

[
  {
    x1: currentX,
    y1: currentY,
    x2: nextX,
    y2: nextY
  },
  ...
]

Then we can draw them with a conditional stroke attribute based on data:

var lines = svgContainer.selectAll('line')
    .data(lineData)
    .enter()
    .append('line')
    .attr('x1', function(d) { return d.x1; })
    .attr('y1', function(d) { return d.y1; })
    .attr('x2', function(d) { return d.x2; })
    .attr('y2', function(d) { return d.y2; })
    .attr("stroke", function (d) {
        return (d.x > 50) ? 'red' : 'blue';
    })
    .attr("fill", "none")
    .attr("stroke-width", 2);

Here's a demo:

var lineData = [
        {"x": 1, "y": 5},
        {"x": 20, "y": 20},
                  { "x": 40,  "y": 10}, { "x": 60,  "y": 40},
                  { "x": 80,  "y": 5},  { "x": 100, "y": 60},
                { "x": 120,  "y": 15},  { "x": 140, "y": 40},
                { "x": 160,  "y": 25},  { "x": 180, "y": 20},
                { "x": 200,  "y": 15},  { "x": 220, "y": 80},
                { "x": 240,  "y": 35},  { "x": 260, "y": 60}
               ];
 
 //This is the accessor function we talked about above
var lineFunction = d3.svg.line()
                          .x(function(d) { return d.x; })
                          .y(function(d) { return d.y; })
                         .interpolate("linear");

//The SVG Container
var svgContainer = d3.select("body").append("svg")
                                    .attr("width", 200)
                                    .attr("height", 200);

lineData = lineData.map(function (point, index, arr) {
    var next = arr[index + 1],
        prev = arr[index - 1];
    return {
        x: point.x,
        y: point.y,
        x1: point.x,
        y1: point.y,
        x2: (next) ? next.x : prev.x,
        y2: (next) ? next.y : prev.y
    };
});

var lines = svgContainer.selectAll('line')
        .data(lineData)
        .enter()
        .append('line')
        .attr('x1', function(d) { return d.x1; })
        .attr('y1', function(d) { return d.y1; })
        .attr('x2', function(d) { return d.x2; })
        .attr('y2', function(d) { return d.y2; })
        .attr("stroke", function (d) {
            return (d.x > 50) ? 'red' : 'blue';
        })
        .attr("fill", "none")
        .attr("stroke-width", 2);

Here's another way, maybe in some instances that might help:

All I do is split the data by using a filter:

var lineGraph1 = svgContainer.append("path")
        .attr("d", lineFunction(lineData.filter(function(d) {
            return d.x <= 100;
        })))
        .attr("stroke", "blue")
        .attr("stroke-width", 2)
        .attr("fill", "none");
var lineGraph2 = svgContainer.append("path")
        .attr("d", lineFunction(lineData.filter(function(d) {
            return d.x >= 100;
        })))
        .attr("stroke", "red")
        .attr("stroke-width", 2)
        .attr("fill", "none");

I think you can achieve this by defining gradient for the line instead of styling it. Check out this solution here. change color of line graph based on data (red for above threshold of say 0 , and blue for below 0)

I asked a very similar question yesterday and was able to get it working by reading D3 documentation and looking at some samples like this one https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/3970883

svg.append("linearGradient")
               .attr("id", "line-gradient")
               .attr("gradientUnits", "userSpaceOnUse")
               .attr("x1", 0).attr("y1", y(0))
               .attr("x2", 0).attr("y2", y(2))
               .selectAll("stop")
               .data(
                      [
                       {offset: "100%", color: "blue"},
                       {offset: "100%", color: "red"},
                      ]
                    )
                .enter().append("stop")
                        .attr("offset", function(d) { return d.offset; })
                        .attr("stop-color", function(d) { return d.color; });
