Question 1

How do I install n3-line-chart in an AngularJS app?

Accepted Answer

Install via npm with 'npm install n3-charts', then reference the LineChart.js and LineChart.css files in your HTML and add 'n3-line-chart' as an AngularJS module dependency, as outlined in the Getting Started section.

Question 2

n3-line-chart vs Chart.js for AngularJS: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

n3-line-chart is better for deep AngularJS integration and D3.js-powered customizations with smooth transitions, while Chart.js might be simpler for basic charts but less flexible. Choose based on need for D3.js features versus ease of setup.

Question 3

Does n3-line-chart support bar charts or other types?

Accepted Answer

It's primarily designed for line charts, and while the modular architecture might allow extensions, the documentation and examples focus on line charts, so support for other types is limited and not well-documented.

Question 4

How can I customize tooltips in n3-line-chart?

Accepted Answer

Tooltips are pure-HTML based, so you can style them with CSS and modify the HTML structure directly, leveraging the consistent naming and event system described in the README for easy customization.

Question 5

Is n3-line-chart compatible with D3.js version 4?

Accepted Answer

No, it only works with D3.js version 3 due to API changes in v4 that break compatibility, as clearly stated in the README's installation notes.

Question 6

What's the performance impact of using n3-line-chart?

Accepted Answer

It uses smart algorithms and D3.js transitions to update data without full redraws, improving performance compared to v1, but still depends on D3.js v3 which might be slower than newer versions.
