Using D3 javascript diagram without sending id of the element - angularjs

Question

I'm trying use D3 diagram component in my Angular project. By default the svg tag used by D3 needs id, but I want to use the element itself instead of the id.
here is my angular directive code:
'use strict';
angular.module('mbCharts').directive('mbHumidity', [
'mbWebMetricsService', '$window', '$timeout', 'd3Service',
function (mbWebMetricsService ,$window, $timeout, d3Service) {
return {
//We restrict its use to an element
//as usually <bars-chart> is semantically
//more understandable
restrict: 'E',
//this is important,
//we don't want to overwrite our directive declaration
//in the HTML mark-up
replace: false,
//our data source would be an array
//passed thru chart-data attribute
template: "<svg width='97%' height='250' onclick='gauge1.update(NewValue());'></svg>",
link: function (scope, elem, attrs) {
var gauge1 = loadLiquidFillGauge(elem[0], 0);
var config1 = liquidFillGaugeDefaultSettings();
config1.circleColor = "#FF7777";
config1.textColor = "#FF4444";
config1.waveTextColor = "#FFAAAA";
config1.waveColor = "#FFDDDD";
config1.circleThickness = 0.2;
config1.textVertPosition = 0.2;
config1.waveAnimateTime = 1800;
scope.$on('mbWebMetricsService-received-data-event', function (evt, data) {
var val = Math.round(data[scope.metric]);
gauge1.update(val);
});
}
}
}
]);
and here is the code for loadLiquidFillGauge method:
function liquidFillGaugeDefaultSettings(){
return {
minValue: 0, // The gauge minimum value.
maxValue: 100, // The gauge maximum value.
circleThickness: 0.05, // The outer circle thickness as a percentage of it's radius.
circleFillGap: 0.05, // The size of the gap between the outer circle and wave circle as a percentage of the outer circles radius.
circleColor: "#178BCA", // The color of the outer circle.
waveHeight: 0.05, // The wave height as a percentage of the radius of the wave circle.
waveCount: 1, // The number of full waves per width of the wave circle.
waveRiseTime: 1000, // The amount of time in milliseconds for the wave to rise from 0 to it's final height.
waveAnimateTime: 18000, // The amount of time in milliseconds for a full wave to enter the wave circle.
waveRise: true, // Control if the wave should rise from 0 to it's full height, or start at it's full height.
waveHeightScaling: true, // Controls wave size scaling at low and high fill percentages. When true, wave height reaches it's maximum at 50% fill, and minimum at 0% and 100% fill. This helps to prevent the wave from making the wave circle from appear totally full or empty when near it's minimum or maximum fill.
waveAnimate: true, // Controls if the wave scrolls or is static.
waveColor: "#178BCA", // The color of the fill wave.
waveOffset: 0, // The amount to initially offset the wave. 0 = no offset. 1 = offset of one full wave.
textVertPosition: .5, // The height at which to display the percentage text withing the wave circle. 0 = bottom, 1 = top.
textSize: 1, // The relative height of the text to display in the wave circle. 1 = 50%
valueCountUp: true, // If true, the displayed value counts up from 0 to it's final value upon loading. If false, the final value is displayed.
displayPercent: true, // If true, a % symbol is displayed after the value.
textColor: "#045681", // The color of the value text when the wave does not overlap it.
waveTextColor: "#A4DBf8" // The color of the value text when the wave overlaps it.
};

Answer 1

Do it like this to select the SVG within the element:
var gauge = d3.select(element).select("svg");
