Enhancing Your React App with Nivo Scatter Plots
Written on
Chapter 1: Introduction to Nivo Scatter Plots
In this guide, we will explore the process of incorporating scatter plots into your React application using Nivo. This powerful library simplifies the creation of charts and data visualizations.
Section 1.1: Installing Nivo Packages
To get started, we need to install the necessary Nivo packages. This can be done by running the following command in your terminal:
npm i @nivo/scatterplot
Section 1.2: Creating a Scatter Plot
Once the packages are installed, we can proceed to create a scatter plot. Below is a sample of how to implement this in your React component:
import React from "react";
import { ResponsiveScatterPlot } from "@nivo/scatterplot";
const data = [
{
id: "group A",
data: [
{ x: 59, y: 119 },
{ x: 97, y: 10 },
{ x: 3, y: 60 }
]
},
{
id: "group B",
data: [
{ x: 44, y: 56 },
{ x: 14, y: 108 },
{ x: 62, y: 97 }
]
},
{
id: "group C",
data: [
{ x: 40, y: 82 },
{ x: 79, y: 7 },
{ x: 7, y: 36 }
]
},
{
id: "group E",
data: [
{ x: 43, y: 61 },
{ x: 12, y: 80 },
{ x: 43, y: 60 }
]
}
];
const MyResponsiveScatterPlot = ({ data }) => (
<ResponsiveScatterPlot
data={data}
margin={{ top: 20, right: 20, bottom: 20, left: 20 }}
xScale={{ type: 'linear', min: 'auto', max: 'auto' }}
xFormat={(value) => ${value}}
yScale={{ type: 'linear', min: 'auto', max: 'auto' }}
yFormat={(value) => ${value}}
blendMode="multiply"
axisBottom={{
tickSize: 5,
tickPadding: 5,
tickRotation: 0,
legend: 'X Axis',
legendPosition: 'middle',
legendOffset: 32
}}
axisLeft={{
tickSize: 5,
tickPadding: 5,
tickRotation: 0,
legend: 'Y Axis',
legendPosition: 'middle',
legendOffset: -40
}}
/>
);
export default function App() {
return (
<div style={{ height: 400 }}>
<MyResponsiveScatterPlot data={data} /></div>
);
}
This snippet creates a scatter plot with an array of data objects containing id and data properties. The x and y coordinates define the points on the scatter plot.
