How to select multiple selectors with selectAll?

Question

Is it possible to select multiple selectors in D3 using selectAll?

I want something like svg.selectAll("class1", "circle", "id2") to select all circle elements, class1 elements and id2 elements.

Is this possible?

Yes, you simply put the commas inside the selector string rather than passing separate strings:

svg.selectAll(".class1, circle, #id2")

I am assuming that "class1" is a css class, "circle" is a tag name, and "id2" is an ID attribute value.

Do d3's docs explain why a different syntax from CSS selector syntax was chosen? – Timbered
