What is @types/d3-interpolate?
@types/d3-interpolate provides TypeScript definitions for the d3-interpolate module, which is part of the D3.js library. This module is used for interpolating between two values, which is useful for animations, transitions, and data visualizations.
What are @types/d3-interpolate's main functionalities?
Number Interpolation
This feature allows you to interpolate between two numbers. The example code demonstrates how to interpolate between 0 and 100, returning 50 when the interpolation factor is 0.5.
const d3 = require('d3-interpolate');
const interpolateNumber = d3.interpolateNumber(0, 100);
console.log(interpolateNumber(0.5)); // 50
Color Interpolation
This feature allows you to interpolate between two colors. The example code demonstrates how to interpolate between 'red' and 'blue', returning 'rgb(128, 0, 128)' when the interpolation factor is 0.5.
const d3 = require('d3-interpolate');
const interpolateColor = d3.interpolateRgb("red", "blue");
console.log(interpolateColor(0.5)); // rgb(128, 0, 128)
String Interpolation
This feature allows you to interpolate between two strings. The example code demonstrates how to interpolate between '0%' and '100%', returning '50%' when the interpolation factor is 0.5.
const d3 = require('d3-interpolate');
const interpolateString = d3.interpolateString("0%", "100%");
console.log(interpolateString(0.5)); // '50%'
Array Interpolation
This feature allows you to interpolate between two arrays. The example code demonstrates how to interpolate between [0, 1] and [10, 20], returning [5, 10.5] when the interpolation factor is 0.5.
const d3 = require('d3-interpolate');
const interpolateArray = d3.interpolateArray([0, 1], [10, 20]);
console.log(interpolateArray(0.5)); // [5, 10.5]
Object Interpolation
This feature allows you to interpolate between two objects. The example code demonstrates how to interpolate between {a: 0, b: 1} and {a: 10, b: 20}, returning {a: 5, b: 10.5} when the interpolation factor is 0.5.
const d3 = require('d3-interpolate');
const interpolateObject = d3.interpolateObject({a: 0, b: 1}, {a: 10, b: 20});
console.log(interpolateObject(0.5)); // {a: 5, b: 10.5}
