D3.js curveBundle.beta() Method

Last Updated : 09 Sep, 2020

The bundle curve interpolators create straightened cubic basis splines. The degree to which the spline is straightened is determined by the interpolator’s beta value. A Valid beta value range between 0 and 1. At the extremes, when the beta value is 1 the curve resembles the curve produced by d3.curveBasis, and when the beta is 0 the curve is a straight line between the first and last control points.

Syntax:

d3.curveBundle.beta(beta_value)

Parameters:

beta_value: Beta value given for the curve ranging from [0,1]

Return Value: This method does not return any value.
