Text Transition I
license: gpl-3.0
redirect: https://observablehq.com/@d3/transition-texttween

A demonstration of using transition.tween to interpolate text. The transition.text method doesn’t do this by default because it’s often distracting; instead, it just sets the new text value when the transition starts. Another way to transition text is to cross-fade.

d3.active(this)
.tween("text", function() {
var that = d3.select(this),
i = d3.interpolateNumber(that.text().replace(/,/g, ""), Math.random() * 1e6);
return function(t) { that.text(format(i(t))); };
})
.transition()
.delay(1500)
.on("start", repeat);
});
