The d3.axis.tickArguments() Function in D3.js is used to control which ticks are displayed by the axis. This function returns the axis generator

Syntax:

axis.tickArguments([arguments])

Parameters: This function accepts single parameter as mentioned above and described below:

  • arguments: These parameters are used to display the number of ticks and to customize how the tick values are formatted.

Return Value: This function returns the axis generator.

Note: This is similar to d3.axis.tick() function but in this function, all arguments can be optional.

Below programs illustrate the d3.axis.tickArguments() function in D3.js:

Example 1:

    </title>
  
    <script type="text/javascript" 
        src="https://d3js.org/d3.v4.min.js">
    </script>
  
    <style>

            text-anchor: center;
        }
    </style>
</head>
  
<body>
    <script>
        var width = 400, height = 400;
        var svg = d3.select("body")
            .append("svg")
            .attr("width", width)
            .attr("height", height);
  
        var xscale = d3.scaleLinear()
            .domain([0, 10])
            .range([0, width - 60]);
  
        var x_axis = d3.axisBottom()
            .scale(xscale).tickArguments([5]);
  
        var xAxisTranslate = height / 2;
  
        svg.append("g")
            .attr("transform", "translate(50, "
                + xAxisTranslate + ")")
            .call(x_axis) 
    </script>
</body>
  
</html>
