d3.js + mobile Rachel Binx, Stamen Design
So the good news is that D3 works great on
mobile devices. The bad news is that you still have to build a mobile site.
1) Design 2) Interaction 3) Performance
Tools of the Trade
Viewport <link rel="stylesheet" media="screen and (max- device-width: 480px)" href=”iphone.css”/> <meta
name="viewport" content="width=device- width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1"> @media screen and (max-device-width: 480px) { .column { float: left; } } Media Queries
Platform Detection navigator.userAgent IE iOS iPad iPhone Safari Firefox Chrome
SVG viewBox <svg width="300px" height="200px" viewBox="0 0 1500 1000" preserveAspectRatio="none">
<min-x> <min-y> <width> <height>
Tiny Screens! • Anything interactive on your page: make it
much larger • You will not have a cursor to indicate interaction models - consider labeling everything • Quite simply: remove all subtly

Interaction Models
Let’s Talk About Touch Limitations: click == hover drag ==
scroll Opportunities: multitouch!
Hover as Click 2011 Video Game Awards — http://sta.mn/cgq
Scroll as Drag maps.stamen.com Basically, beware of which elements on
the page will steal focus from whole-page interaction
Multitouch http://sta.mn/f3 d3.js jQuery .touches() touchstart touchmove touchend .drag() .zoom()
various plugins: touchstart/end swipes swipe/zoom/scale
Saucy Animations
Optimizing Framerate • Sadly, SVG is not hardware accelerated •
One solution: make the SVG element as small as it can be • Or, try removing setInterval / requestAnimationFrame in favor of event-based animation • If all else fails: refactor the animations!

Design + Interaction + Performance = Successful Mobile Project
