Understanding the Problem
Explore how to identify and fix common animation issues in D3.js charts caused by default starting positions and unanimated element removals. Understand the data join process, including enter and exit selections, and learn to customize transitions for added, updated, and removed elements to achieve smooth animations in your visualizations.
We'll cover the following...
We are going to take the time to discuss the problem with our chart. Switching between metrics does not seem to be an issue. However, the animations do not work normally. The transitions occur very quickly. That is because, by default, the animation is configured to play for a quarter of a second.
The animation has been slowed down so that we can see the problem more clearly.
If we switch from humidity to temperature, the animation for the bars starts at the top left corner. They animate into the correct spot. The problem is that the starting positions are wrong. So, why is this happening?
