How to change display values of a Legend?

Community Help

Dear all, I was trying to change the values directly in the legend function, for example let all values divide 100 to get a percentage:

legendPercentage = legend({
color: colorCountry, colorInterpolator,
title: ‘Articles publicated from 1970 - present of total articles filed on WoS’,
tickFormat: “.0f”,
tickSize: 5,
marginTop : 20,
marginBottom : 20,
marginRight : 5,
marginLeft : 5,
tickValue: ???
})

Should I operate in ‘tickValues’?

Thank you very muh for your time!

You probably want to use tickFormat, whose value can be any specifier for d3.format. To generate percentages, you might do something like so:

pic = legend({
  color: d3.scaleSequential([0, 1], d3.interpolateViridis),
  tickFormat: "0.0%"
})

Alternatively, the value of tickFormat can be a function, which gives you more control. Thus, the same result could be achieved like so:

legend({
  color: d3.scaleSequential([0, 1], d3.interpolateViridis),
  tickFormat: s => `${100 * s}%`
})

In either case, the result looks like:

Thank you very much! Then what it I still want to keep 2 effective digits, like 100.00%?

Your tickFormat could be "0.2%" or

s => `${d3.format('0.2f')(100 * s)}%`

I updated my notebook to illustrate.
