D3.js line.curve() method

The d3.line.curve() method is used to give a curve to our line. D3.js provides several curve factories that can be used to give different curves.

Syntax:

d3.line.curve(curve_factory);

Parameters:

  • curve_factory: type of curve to be given to the line.

Return Value: This method has no return value.

Example 1: In this example, we will use the curveBasis curve factory.

var Gen = d3.line()
  .x((p) => p.xpoint)
  .y((p) => p.ypoint)
  .curve(d3.curveBasis);

  .append("path")
  .attr("d", Gen(points))
  .attr("fill", "none")
