Axes can be drawn using built-in D3 functions. This is made of Lines, Ticks and Labels. The d3.axisBottom() function in D3.js is used to create a bottom horizontal axis. This function will construct a new bottom-oriented axis generator for the given scale, with empty tick arguments, a tick size of 6 and padding of 3.

Axis API can be configured using the following script.

<script src = "https://d3js.org/d3-axis.v1.min.js"></script>

Syntax:

d3.axisBottom(scale)

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

  • scale: This parameter holds the used scale.

Return Value: This function returns the created bottom horizontal axis.

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

Example 1:

HTML




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  
<head>
    <title>
        D3.js | d3.axisBottom() Function
    </title>
    <script type="text/javascript" 
        src="https://d3js.org/d3.v4.min.js">
    </script>
</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, 100])
            .range([0, width - 50]);
  
        var x_axis = d3.axisBottom(xscale);
  
        svg.append("g")
            .attr("transform", "translate(20,100)")
            .call(x_axis)
    </script>
</body>
  
</html>

        var xscale = d3.scaleLinear()
            .domain([d3.min(data), d3.max(data)])
            .range([0, width - 60]);
  
        var x_axis = d3.axisBottom(xscale);
  
        var xAxisTranslate = height / 2;
  
        svg.append("g")
            .attr("transform", "translate(50, "
            + xAxisTranslate + ")")
            .call(x_axis)
    </script>
