#D3 Progress Indicators

What started out as a bit of an experiment turned out pretty nice, so I thought I would put it out there and see if anyone has any interest in it.

Take a look at the examples below and let me know if you have any ideas for extensions/improvements

http://thatguynamedandy.github.com/d3-progress-indicator

##Usage

bower install d3-progress-indicator --save`

Include the progress indicator and d3 library scripts in your page

<script src="bower_components/d3/d3.min.js"></script>
<script src="bower_components/d3-progress-indicators/lib/progress-indicator.js"></script>

Include the skeleton CSS to provide some basic styles. The CSS is intended to be very lightweight, and it may be worth just creating your own styles

<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" href="bower_components/d3-progress-indicators/lib/progress-indicator.css">

Programmatically create your progress indicator, providing a selector for it to attach to.

new ProgressIndicator({
  selector: "#progress-indicator-2",
  xPadding: 110
}, {
  percentageCompleted: 78,
  milestones: [{
    value: 25,
    text: "Account created"
  }, {
    value: 50,
    text: "Profile complete"
  }, {
    value:75,
    text: "Profile visible"
  }]
});

##Tests

Check out the project and install dependencies

npm install
bower install

The run tests in karma

./node_modules/karma/bin/karma start

##Limitations

• Due to the difficulty of text wrapping in SVG, the xPadding value has to be tweaked to make sure milestone labels fit in correctly. A future improvement may be to split labels on spaces.
