This plugin provides a quick method to generate a color bar which can be created in a similar way to an axis, e.g.
var colorScale = d3.scaleSequential(d3.interpolateWarm).domain([-1,1]);
var cb = d3.colorbarV(colorScale, 20,100);
svg.append("g").call(cb);
Some examples
If you use NPM, npm install d3-colorbar
. Otherwise, download the latest release.

# d3.colorbarV(colorScale, width, height)

colorbar.tickValues(array)
Set the tick values to be shown on the color bar.
