Summary

In this chapter, you learned how to select DOM elements and do data-driven transformations using data joins and dynamic properties. We also saw how to use shape and axis generator functions to quickly create common shapes such as lines or areas.

In the end of this chapter, we built our first simple (almost) responsive bar chart. The bar chart already adapts to the width of the browser window on the page load, but it doesn't get recomputed when we change the browser dimensions.

In the next chapter, we will take a look at loading, filtering, and grouping data. This is very important because almost always we will have to load remote data in a certain format (such as CSV) and then process, filter, or group it afterwards in order to visualize it.
