I am new to D3 and I am working with code from here . I changed the code so I can add new nodes (neighbors) and edges to them with data from MySql upon click on a node, which is why part of the node code is in start()
. I want to append text labels to the nodes, and from some googling I understand that both the circle element and the text element needs to be within a g
. However, when I do this, I get an error from d3.js on line 742:
Uncaught NotFoundError: Failed to execute 'insertBefore' on 'Node': The node before which the new node is to be inserted is not a child of this node
Why is this and how do I fix it to get what I want, while preserving the addNode functionality?
Here is my code:
var width = 960,
height = 500;
var color = d3.scale.category10();
var nodes = [],
links = [];
var force = d3.layout.force()
.nodes(nodes)
.links(links)
.charge(-400)
.linkDistance(120)
.size([width, height])
.on("tick", tick);
var svg = d3.select("body").append("svg")
.attr("width", width)
.attr("height", height);
var node = svg.selectAll(".node")/*.append("g")*/,
link = svg.selectAll(".link");
function start() {
link = link.data(force.links(), function(d) { return d.source.id + "-" + d.target.id; });
link.enter().insert("line", ".node").attr("class", "link");
link.exit().remove();
node = node.data(force.nodes(), function(d) { return d.id;});
node.enter()/*.append("g")*/
.append("circle")
.attr("class", function(d) { return "node " + d.id; })
.attr("id", function(d) { return d.id; })
.attr("r", 8)
.on("click", nodeClick)
.append("text")
.text(function(d) {return d.id; });
node.exit().remove();
force.start();
}
function nodeClick() {
var node_id = event.target.id;
handleClick(node_id, "node");
}
function tick() {
node.attr("cx", function(d) { return d.x; })
.attr("cy", function(d) { return d.y; })
link.attr("x1", function(d) { return d.source.x; })
.attr("y1", function(d) { return d.source.y; })
.attr("x2", function(d) { return d.target.x; })
.attr("y2", function(d) { return d.target.y; });
}
The commented-out append("g")
indicates where I tried to place it (separate attempts).
You want to cache the d3 selector before appending the text.
node.enter().append("g")
.append("circle")
.attr("class", function(d) { return "node " + d.id; })
.attr("id", function(d) { return d.id; })
.attr("r", 8)
.on("click", nodeClick)
.append("text")
.text(function(d) {return d.id; });
That'll work but create a xml structure like this:
<g>
<circle>
<text>...</text>
</circle>
</g>
What you want is:
<g>
<circle>...</circle>
<text>...</text>
</g>
To achieve that, you must insert one step:
var g = node.enter().append("g");
g.append("circle")
.attr("class", function(d) { return "node " + d.id; })
.attr("id", function(d) { return d.id; })
.attr("r", 8)
.on("click", nodeClick);
g.append("text")
.text(function(d) {return d.id; });
