Example from Wikipedia:
// Data var countriesData = [ { name:"Ireland", income:53000, life: 78, pop:6378, color: "black"}, { name:"Norway", income:73000, life: 87, pop:5084, color: "blue" }, { name:"Tanzania", income:27000, life: 50, pop:3407, color: "grey" } ]; // Create SVG container var svg = d3.select("#hook").append("svg") .attr("width", 120) .attr("height", 120) .style("background-color", "#D0D0D0"); // Create SVG elements from data svg.selectAll("circle") // create virtual circle template .data(countriesData) // bind data .enter() // for each row in data... .append("circle") // bind circle & data row such that... .attr("id", function(d) { return d.name }) // set the circle's id according to the country name .attr("cx", function(d) { return d.income / 1000 }) // set the circle's horizontal position according to income .attr("cy", function(d) { return d.life }) // set the circle's vertical position according to life expectancy .attr("r", function(d) { return d.pop / 1000 *2 }) // set the circle's radius according to country's population .attr("fill", function(d) { return d.color }); // set the circle's color according to country's color
