10K points in an interactive line chart using the excellent Kay Chang's (AKA Syntagmatic) progressive rendering.

It also uses some nice tricks like throttling the brush move (from underscore) and bisecting the data points to find the hovered dots. The reactive hover and tooltip clearly shows that the UI is not blocked by the rendering. You can even hover the points before they are rendered!

This line chart is constructed from a TSV file storing the daily average temperatures of New York, San Francisco and Austin over the last year. The chart employs conventional margins and a number of D3 features:

d3.tsv - load and parse data
d3.time.format - parse dates
d3.time.scale - x-position encoding
d3.scale.linear - y-position encoding
d3.scale.category10, a d3.scale.ordinal - color encoding
d3.extent, d3.min and d3.max - compute domains
[d3.k

Fast prototyping of apps using Sketch and d3.js, please refer to the the explanatory post.
