The d3.line.curve() method is used to give a curve to our line. D3.js provides several curve factories that can be used to give different curves.

Syntax:

d3.line.curve(curve_factory);

Parameters:

  • curve_factory: type of curve to be given to the line.

Return Value: This method has no return value.

Example 1: In this example, we will use the curveBasis curve factory.

  {xpoint: 75,  ypoint: 85},
  {xpoint: 100, ypoint: 115},
  {xpoint: 175, ypoint: 25}];
  
var Gen = d3.line()
  .x((p) => p.xpoint)
  .y((p) => p.ypoint)
  .curve(d3.curveBasis);
    
d3.select("#gfg")
  .append("path")
  .attr("d", Gen(points))
  .attr("fill", "none")
  .attr("stroke", "green");
  
</script>

</html>


Output:

Example 2: In this example, we will use the curveCardinal curve factory.
