d3js：时间缩放和“1901”

Question

I'm working with a time-based scatterplot and am using data which only parses times by month, hour and day. On my axis labels, I'm getting "1901". D3 seems to be choosing a year and displaying it. How can I easily get rid of this? I don't want any year displayed:

Answer 1

you need to set the tickFormat of your axis to display only months and days. The tickFormat receives a function that takes a date and returns a string. You can use d3.time.format to set the tick format:

var axis = d3.svg.axis()
    // ... set more attributes
    .tickFormat(d3.time.format('%b %d'));  // Abbreviated month and decimal day (Apr 01)
