How can I remove or replace SVG content

0 votes

I have a piece of JavaScript code which creates (using D3.js) an svg element which contains a chart. I want to update the chart based on new data coming from a web service using AJAX, the problem is that each time I click on the update button, it generates a new svg, so I want to remove the old one or update its content.

Here is a snippet from the JavaScript function where I create the svg:

var svg = d3.select("body")
        .append("svg")
        .attr("width", w)
        .attr("height", h);

How can I remove the old svg element or at least replace its content?

Hello @kartik,

Setting the id attribute when appending the svg element can also let d3 select so remove() later on this element by id :

var svg = d3.select("theParentElement").append("svg")
.attr("id","the_SVG_ID")
.attr("width",...

...

d3.select("#the_SVG_ID").remove();

Hope this is helpful!!

Thank You!
