swoopyarrows
A family of three D3.js path generators for creating aesthetically pleasing curved arrows between points.
What is swoopyarrows?
swoopyarrows is a JavaScript library that generates curved arrow paths for connecting points in data visualizations and diagrams. It solves the problem of creating visually appealing annotations by providing three distinct arrow styles—swoopy, loopy, and kooky—that replace straight lines with elegant, customizable curves. Built as a lightweight extension for D3.js, it simplifies adding decorative yet functional arrows to SVG graphics.
Data visualization developers and designers using D3.js who need to create annotated charts, diagrams, or interactive graphics with aesthetically pleasing connections. It's particularly useful for those working on editorial graphics, explanatory dashboards, or any project where visual clarity and style are priorities.
Developers choose swoopyarrows for its simplicity, visual elegance, and seamless integration with D3.js. Unlike basic line generators, it offers three distinct arrow styles with fine-tuned control over curvature, coils, and randomness, enabling creative annotations without complex math or custom SVG path coding.
