To append a local SVG image with d3.js, you can follow these steps:

1. First, make sure you have included the d3.js library in your HTML file. You can either download the library and include it locally or use a CDN link:

1

<script src="https://d3js.org/d3.v6.min.js"></script>

1. Create an SVG element in your HTML file where you want to append the image:

1

<svg id="svg-container"></svg>

1. Load the SVG image using the d3.js library and append it to the SVG element. Make sure to replace 'path/to/your/image.svg' with the path to your local SVG image:

1
2
3
4
5

d3.xml("path/to/your/image.svg").mimeType("image/svg+xml").get(function(error, xml) {
  if (error) throw error;
  
  document.getElementById("svg-container").appendChild(xml.documentElement);
});

1. You can also use the d3.js select function to append the image to a specific SVG element within your SVG container. For example:

1

d3.select("#svg-container").append(() => xml.documentElement);

1. Once you have appended the SVG image to the SVG element, you can manipulate it further using d3.js methods like attr, style, selectAll, etc.

That's it! You have successfully appended a local SVG image with d3.js.
