• Adopt type: module.

This package now requires Node.js 12 or higher. For more, please read Sindre Sorhus’s FAQ.

This release adopts ES2015 language features such as for-of and drops support for older browsers, including IE. If you need to support pre-ES2015 environments, you should stick with d3-path 1.x or use a transpiler.

• Adopt exact paths for imports.
• Adopt explicit files when publishing.
• Add sideEffects: false to the package.json.

• Fix coercion of anticlockwise argument to path.arc. Thanks, @Fil! #21

• Housekeeping.

• Update dependencies.

• Update dependencies.

• Ignore small-angle arcs in path.arc to workaround rendering bug in Chrome on Ubuntu.

• Use string concatenation instead of array.join to improve performance (#9).

• Add module entry point to package.json.

• First stable release!

Changes since D3 3.x

The d3.path serializer implements the CanvasPathMethods API, allowing you to write code that can render to either Canvas or SVG. For example, given some code that draws to a canvas:

function drawCircle(context, radius) {
  context.moveTo(radius, 0);
  context.arc(0, 0, radius, 0, 2 * Math.PI);
}

You can render to SVG as follows:

var context = d3.path();
drawCircle(context, 40);
pathElement.setAttribute("d", context.toString());

The path serializer enables d3-shape to support both Canvas and SVG; see line.context and area.context, for example.

See CHANGES for all D3 changes since 3.x.

• Export to the global d3 in vanilla environments (d3/d3#2840).

• Fix path.constructor (#5).

• Don’t emit an elliptical arc (A) command if the radius of path.arc is zero.

• path.arc now implements the optional anticlockwise flag.

• Removed path.beginPath; it’s not part of the CanvasPathMethods API.

• Add path.beginPath.
• Fix various bugs in path.arc and path.arcTo.
• Fix path.closePath when the path is empty.
• Fix instanceof path.
• Add tests and documentation.
