I created a stripped-down JSFiddle of my D3 chart. I made it responsive (with viewbox and preserveaspectratio) using solution:
responsive D3 diagram
When I resize the window and reduce it, some grid lines seem to disappear and reappear. I suppose this will look bad at low resolutions (e.g. 320x480 mobile phone). Is there a way to keep my grids when the window size is smaller?
HTML code:
<div class="centre-div"></div>
CSS code:
.centre-div {
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 550px;
}
.axis path,
.axis line {
fill: none;
stroke: black;
shape-rendering: crispEdges;
}
.axis text {
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
}
JS Code:
var margin = {
top: 15,
right: 2,
bottom: 2,
left: 2
};
var width = 550 - margin.left - margin.right;
var height = 550 - margin.top - margin.bottom;
var padding = 10;
var svg = d3.select(d3.selectAll(".centre-div")[0].pop()).append("svg")
.attr("width", "100%")
.attr("height", "100%")
.attr("viewBox", "0 0 550 550")
.attr("preserveAspectRatio", "xMidYMid meet")
.append("g")
.attr("transform", "translate(" + margin.left + "," + margin.top + ")");
