How do I move (drag and drop) multiple shapes with d3.
I tried putting some shapes in a svg and move the svg - this works but not smoothly. This is what I got so far
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="d3.v3.min.js"></script>
<title>Creating SVG groups with D3.js</title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
// http://tutorials.jenkov.com/svg/g-element.html
d3image = d3.select("body");
svgcanvas = d3image.append("svg:svg").attr("width", 700).attr("height", 500);
svg1 = svgcanvas.append("svg:svg").attr("x", 100).attr("y", 100);
circle1 = svg1.append("svg:circle")
.attr("cx", 40)
.attr("cy", 40)
.attr("r", 37.5)
.call(d3.behavior.drag().on("drag", move));
rect1 = svg1.append("svg:rect")
.attr("x",0)
.attr("y",50)
.attr("width",100)
.attr("height",75)
.call(d3.behavior.drag().on("drag", move));
text1 = svg1.append("svg:text")
.text("Group 1")
.attr("x", 0)
.attr("y", 70)
.style("stroke", "orange")
.style("stroke-width", 1)
.style("font-size", "150%")
.style("fill", "orange")
.call(d3.behavior.drag().on("drag", move));
function move(){
var parent = d3.select(this.parentNode);
parent.attr("x", function(){return d3.event.dx + parseInt(parent.attr("x"))})
.attr("y", function(){return d3.event.dy + parseInt(parent.attr("y"))});
};
</script>
</body>
</html>
Any suggestions?
You could try fixing the position of the svg element, create a group under it and translate the group when any of the object is dragged. In this question you can find more details about this approach:
