d3.svg.month

[mbostock]

It might be nice to take this code out of the calendar example and include it in the core library:

function monthPath(t0) {
  var t1 = new Date(t0.getFullYear(), t0.getMonth() + 1, 0),
      d0 = +day(t0), w0 = +week(t0),
      d1 = +day(t1), w1 = +week(t1);
  return "M" + (w0 + 1) * size + "," + d0 * size
      + "H" + w0 * size + "V" + 7 * size
      + "H" + w1 * size + "V" + (d1 + 1) * size
      + "H" + (w1 + 1) * size + "V" + 0
      + "H" + (w0 + 1) * size + "Z";
}

Some convenient extensions:

• The size should be configurable.
• The use of Sunday- or Monday-based weeks should be configurable.
• Vertical or horizontal orientation might be nice.
• Positioning relative to the first week in the month rather than the first week in the year.

Hi
I was wondering if you could help me. I am very much interested in this piece of code because I want to add a legend and month labels to D3CalenderView so I can do some heatmaps and tell whether I am on target for bookings during the year new to DOM and SVG so first I would like to know what the return string is doing and second I would like to know if you know any good references to get this task done
