I have created a stripped down JSFiddle of my D3 chart. I have made it responsive (with viewbox and preserveaspectratio) using the solution at: responsive D3 chart
When I resize the window and make it smaller, some of the grid lines seem to be disappearing and reappearing. I presume this will look bad at small resolutions (eg. 320x480 mobile phone). Is there a way to preserve my gridlines when the window gets resized smaller?
HTML code:
<!--//d3 chart//-->
<div class="centre-div"></div>
CSS Code:
.centre-div {
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 550px;
}
/* D3 chart css */
.axis path,
.axis line {
fill: none;
stroke: black;
shape-rendering: crispEdges;
}
.axis text {
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
}
JS code:
//function createScatterplot() {
//Width and height
var margin = {
top: 15,
right: 2,
bottom: 2,
left: 2
};
//define width and height as the inner dimensions of the chart area.
var width = 550 - margin.left - margin.right;
var height = 550 - margin.top - margin.bottom;
var padding = 10;
//define svg as a G element that translates the origin to the top-left corner of the chart area.
//add <svg> to the last <div class="centre-div"> tag on the html page
//this allows me to reuse the createScatterplot() function to draw multiple charts
var svg = d3.select(d3.selectAll(".centre-div")[0].pop()).append("svg")
//.attr("width", width + margin.left + margin.right)
//.attr("height", height + margin.top + margin.bottom)
//make svg responsive
.attr("width", "100%")
.attr("height", "100%")
.attr("viewBox", "0 0 550 550")
.attr("preserveAspectRatio", "xMidYMid meet")
.append("g")
.attr("transform", "translate(" + margin.left + "," + margin.top + ")");
//With this convention, all subsequent code can ignore margins.

That is an aliasing effect which will occur because the way the lines will get rendered is influenced by various factors. The main three of them being stroke width, position and rendering mode. For using shape-rendering: crispEdges the SVG spec states:
To achieve crisp edges, the user agent might turn off anti-aliasing for all lines...
Depending on the scaling and the translation of the line it may be calculated to appear between two screen pixels while the scaled stroke width is not broad enough to color any of those adjacent screen pixels. That way the lines seem to randomly disappear and appear again.
Further explanations can be found in "Why is SVG stroke-width : 1 making lines transparent?" or in my answer to "Drew a straight line, but it is crooked d3".
For your code you can change the rendering behaviour by using shape-rendering: geometricPrecision instead of crispEdges when drawing the grid lines. Have a look at the updated JSFiddle for a working example.
In my case I simply solved this issue by setting "showMaxMin" to false.
lineChart.xAxis.showMaxMin(false).tickValues(xAxisTickValues).tickFormat(function (d) {
if (typeof d === 'string') {
d = parseFloat(d);
}
return d3.time.format("%d %b")(new Date(d));
});
