Hi Marc, thanks - but re: transitions - actually, not really. This module is intended to only do the actual mapping/visualization step in a longer pipeline. That is, you're responsible to provide a visualization spec with all elements & data pre-configured and this module will simply transform/visualize that current state. There might be some higher level transitions offered at some point, e.g. to tween between cartesian & polar coordinate mapping (example [1]), but this too could be achieved via a separate step injected before final serialization to SVG (or whatever). Unlike with d3 and other libs which are directly married to a DOM, here I try to approach this topic being completely format independent until the last moment, meaning all visualization methods will actually transform the viz spec into a scenegraph of pure data (types from the geom parent lib) and are only then translated into a concrete target format[2] (for SVG it actually transforms first into hiccup syntax). That pure data approach also means that any other type of transition can be easily achieved via other libs and I think any transition feature would be implemented outside the scope of this module. d3 tries to offer a one-stop solution addressing everything, but I think the Clojure way is to keep our options open.
Having said this, I think transitions are very important and am v.keen to hear your feedback - I just don't want to go down a route which turns this into a monolithic can-do-everything and I think the approach taken allows for a number of higher level support modules, which you would simply plug into the transformation pipeline to compute intermediate, tweened visualization specs. For example, color transitions can be done via thi.ng/color, more general tweening via thi.ng/tweeny (and other libs)... Thanks, K. [1] http://haptic-data.com/toxiclibsjs/examples/polar-unravel [2] In this initial release that intermediate format is still outstanding and translation currently goes straight into hiccup format, but that's only temporary behavior...
