Using D3.js version 4, is there a way to get an array of the values for each tick on an axis?
Edit:
From D3 documentation
# axis.tickValue
If you have a reference to the axis, you can use:
axis.scale().ticks()
If you want them all formatted out, I'd get them from the DOM:
d3.selectAll(".tick>text")
.nodes()
.map(function(t){
return t.innerHTML;
})
Running code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<svg width="960" height="500"></svg>
<script src="//d3js.org/d3.v4.min.js"></script>
<script>
var svg = d3.select("svg"),
margin = {top: 20, right: 0, bottom: 20, left: 0},
width = svg.attr("width") - margin.left - margin.right,
height = svg.attr("height") - margin.top - margin.bottom,
g = svg.append("g").attr("transform", "translate(" + margin.left + "," + margin.top + ")");
var x = d3.scalePoint()
.domain([0, 1, 2])
.range([0, width])
.padding(1);
var y = d3.scaleLinear()
.domain([-1e6, 2e6])
.range([height, 0]);
var axis = d3.axisLeft(y)
.ticks(20, "s");
g.append("g")
.attr("transform", "translate(" + x(0) + ",0)")
.attr("class", "axis")
.call(axis);
console.log(
axis.scale().ticks()
);
console.log(
d3.selectAll(".tick>text")
.nodes()
.map(function(t){
return t.innerHTML ;
})
);
</script>
I found the answer of Mark above was not correct for my case, I changed a bit from his inspiration and it worked
// I am using d3-scale
const yScale = scaleLinear().domain(realYDomain).range([30, 170]);
// I am using d3-axis
const yAxis = axisLeft(yScale); // Not declare axisLeft(scale).ticks(number) here, but below line instead
const tickValues = yAxis.scale().ticks(5);
console.log(tickValues);
