# d3-path

Say you have some code that draws to a 2D canvas:

```js
function drawCircle(context, radius) {
  context.moveTo(radius, 0);
  context.arc(0, 0, radius, 0, 2 * Math.PI);
}
```

The d3-path module lets you take this exact code and additionally render to [SVG](http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/paths.html). It works by [serializing](#path_toString) [CanvasPathMethods](http://www.w3.org/TR/2dcontext/#canvaspathmethods) calls to [SVG path data](http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/paths.html#PathData). For example:

```js
const context = d3.path();
drawCircle(context, 40);
pathElement.setAttribute("d", context.toString());
```

Now code you write once can be used with both Canvas (for performance) and SVG (for convenience). For a practical example, see [d3-shape](https://github.com/d3/d3-shape).

## Installing

If you use npm, `npm install d3-path`. You can also download the [latest release on GitHub](https://github.com/d3/d3-path/releases/latest). In modern browsers, you can import d3-path from jsDelivr:

```html
<script type="module">

import {path} from "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/d3-path@3/+esm";

const p = path();
p.moveTo(1, 2);
p.lineTo(3, 4);
p.closePath();

</script>
```

For legacy environments, you can load d3-path’s UMD bundle from an npm-based CDN such as jsDelivr; a `d3` global is exported:

```html
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/d3-path@3"></script>
<script>

const path = d3.path();

</script>
```

## API Reference

<a name="path" href="#path">#</a> d3.path() · [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-path/blob/master/src/path.js), [Examples](https://observablehq.com/@d3/d3-path)

Constructs a new path serializer that implements [CanvasPathMethods](http://www.w3.org/TR/2dcontext/#canvaspathmethods).

<a name="path_moveTo" href="#path_moveTo">#</a> path.moveTo(x, y)

Move to the specified point ⟨*x*, *y*⟩. Equivalent to [*context*.moveTo](http://www.w3.org/TR/2dcontext/#dom-context-2d-moveto) and SVG’s [“moveto” command](http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/paths.html#PathDataMovetoCommands).

<a name="path_closePath" href="#path_closePath">#</a> path.closePath()

Ends the current subpath and causes an automatic straight line to be drawn from the current point to the initial point of the current subpath. Equivalent to [*context*.closePath](http://www.w3.org/TR/2dcontext/#dom-context-2d-closepath) and SVG’s [“closepath” command](http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/paths.html#PathDataClosePathCommand).

<a name="path_lineTo" href="#path_lineTo">#</a> path.lineTo(x, y)

Draws a straight line from the current point to the specified point ⟨*x*, *y*⟩. Equivalent to [*context*.lineTo](http://www.w3.org/TR/2dcontext/#dom-context-2d-lineto) and SVG’s [“lineto” command](http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/paths.html#PathDataLinetoCommands).

<a name="path_quadraticCurveTo" href="#path_quadraticCurveTo">#</a> path.quadraticCurveTo(cpx, cpy, x, y)

Draws a quadratic Bézier segment from the current point to the specified point ⟨*x*, *y*⟩, with the specified control point ⟨*cpx*, *cpy*⟩. Equivalent to [*context*.quadraticCurveTo](http://www.w3.org/TR/2dcontext/#dom-context-2d-quadraticcurveto) and SVG’s [quadratic Bézier curve commands](http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/paths.html#PathDataQuadraticBezierCommands).

<a name="path_bezierCurveTo" href="#path_bezierCurveTo">#</a> path.bezierCurveTo(cpx1, cpy1, cpx2, cpy2, x, y)

Draws a cubic Bézier segment from the current point to the specified point ⟨*x*, *y*⟩, with the specified control points ⟨*cpx1*, *cpy1*⟩ and ⟨*cpx2*, *cpy2*⟩. Equivalent to [*context*.bezierCurveTo](http://www.w3.org/TR/2dcontext/#dom-context-2d-beziercurveto) and SVG’s [cubic Bézier curve commands](http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/paths.html#PathDataCubicBezierCommands).

<a name="path_arcTo" href="#path_arcTo">#</a> path.arcTo(x1, y1, x2, y2, radius)

Draws a circular arc segment with the specified *radius* that starts tangent to the line between the current point and the specified point ⟨*x1*, *y1*⟩ and ends tangent to the line between the specified points ⟨*x1*, *y1*⟩ and ⟨*x2*, *y2*⟩. If the first tangent point is not equal to the current point, a straight line is drawn between the current point and the first tangent point. Equivalent to [*context*.arcTo](http://www.w3.org/TR/2dcontext/#dom-context-2d-arcto) and uses SVG’s [elliptical arc curve commands](http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/paths.html#PathDataEllipticalArcCommands).

<a name="path_arc" href="#path_arc">#</a> path.arc(x, y, radius, startAngle, endAngle[, anticlockwise])

Draws a circular arc segment with the specified center ⟨*x*, *y*⟩, *radius*, *startAngle* and *endAngle*. If *anticlockwise* is true, the arc is drawn in the anticlockwise direction; otherwise, it is drawn in the clockwise direction. If the current point is not equal to the starting point of the arc, a straight line is drawn from the current point to the start of the arc. Equivalent to [*context*.arc](http://www.w3.org/TR/2dcontext/#dom-context-2d-arc) and uses SVG’s [elliptical arc curve commands](http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/paths.html#PathDataEllipticalArcCommands).

<a name="path_rect" href="#path_rect">#</a> path.rect(x, y, w, h)

Creates a new subpath containing just the four points ⟨*x*, *y*⟩, ⟨*x* + *w*, *y*⟩, ⟨*x* + *w*, *y* + *h*⟩, ⟨*x*, *y* + *h*⟩, with those four points connected by straight lines, and then marks the subpath as closed. Equivalent to [*context*.rect](http://www.w3.org/TR/2dcontext/#dom-context-2d-rect) and uses SVG’s [“lineto” commands](http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/paths.html#PathDataLinetoCommands).

<a name="path_toString" href="#path_toString">#</a> path.toString()

Returns the string representation of this *path* according to SVG’s [path data specification](http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/paths.html#PathData).

<a name="pathRound" href="#pathRound">#</a> d3.pathRound(*digits* = 3) · [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-path/blob/master/src/path.js), [Examples](https://observablehq.com/@d3/d3-path)

Like [d3.path](#path), except limits the digits after the decimal to the specified number of *digits*.

Urban Research Lab

The Urban Research Lab (URL) at IIIT-Delhi was established in 2020, during a time when the pandemic brought the complexities of urban life more visible than ever. What started as an initiative by faculty and students has grown into a collaborative space for critically exploring and reimagining the urban questions through research, dialogue, and interdisciplinary engagement.
