D3.js-how to clip area outside rectangle while zooming in a grouped bar chart

Question

Here is the link to my code http://jsfiddle.net/qkHK6/2174/ .I want to hide or clip the area outside the rectangle.You can see from my jsfiddle that while zooming the bars move to the left of y-axis so i want to clip that area.Please someone help me with that.

var margin = {
    top: 20,
    right: 20,
    bottom: 30,
    left: 40
  },
  width = 300 - margin.left - margin.right,
  height = 400 - margin.top - margin.bottom;

Answer 1

Here's an updated jsfiddle

It comes down to a few modifications. First, you need to know about SVG clip-path which is a way to define an svg shape that masks or crops another shape (your chart, in this case). As demonstrated in the linked documentation, a clip-path requires a <defs> element with a <clipPath> inside it. In your case, that <clipPath> needs to contain a <rect> whose bounds are set to cover the visible area.

To create that <defs>, I added:

var mask = svg.append("defs")
  .append("clipPath")
  .attr("id", "mask")
  .style("pointer-events", "none")
    .append("rect")
    .attr({
      x: 0,
      y: 0,
      width: width,
      height: height + margin.bottom,
    })

Ultimately, to use the above mask to crop the chart, it required calling

.attr("clip-path", "url(#mask)")

on the thing that is being masked.

The way you had things set up, there was no single SVG <g> that contained both of the things that needed to be mask (i.e. the chart and the x-axis). So I added that <g>, and reshuffled things so that the axis and chart (allStates) are added to it:

var masked = svg.append("g")
  .attr("clip-path", "url(#mask)")

masked.append("g")
      .attr("class", "x axis")
      .attr("transform", "translate(0," + height + ")")
      .call(xAxis);

var allStates = masked
  .append("g")
    .attr("class", "allStates");

And that's all.

Answer 2

What about that?

function zoom() {
svg.select(".allStates").attr("transform", "translate(" + d3.event.translate[0] + ",0)scale(" + d3.event.scale + ",1)");
svg.select(".x.axis").attr("transform", "translate(" + d3.event.translate[0] + "," + (height) + ")").call(xAxis.scale(x0.rangeRoundBands([0, width * d3.event.scale], .5 * d3.event.scale)));
//svg.select(".y.axis").call(yAxis);
svg.select(".y.axis").attr("transform", "translate(" + (d3.event.translate[0]-d3.event.scale) + ", 0)")
}

I just added the last line to move the Y axis to the left when zooming.

Let me know if that's enough for you.
