How To Add A Simple Arc With D3

I would like to add one simple arc in the chart section like a circle: vis.append('circle') .style('stroke', 'gray') .style('fill', 'white') .attr('r', 40) .attr('c

Solution 1:

D3 uses a path generator for arcs. If you don't want to data-drive your arc just define the arc generator and add some methods...

var arc = d3.svg.arc()
    .innerRadius(50)
    .outerRadius(70)
    .startAngle(45 * (Math.PI/180)) //convert from degs to radians
    .endAngle(3) //just radians

vis.append("path")
    .attr("d", arc)
    .attr("transform", "translate(50,50)")
