 Transitions support most selection methods (such as [*transition*.attr](#transition_attr) and [*transition*.style](#transition_style) in place of [*selection*.attr](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection#selection_attr) and [*selection*.style](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection#selection_style)), but not all methods are supported; for example, you must [append](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection#selection_append) elements or [bind data](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection#joining-data) before a transition starts. A [*transition*.remove](#transition_remove) operator is provided for convenient removal of elements when the transition ends.
 
-To compute intermediate state, transitions leverage a variety of [built-in interpolators](https://github.com/d3/d3-interpolate). [Colors](https://github.com/d3/d3-interpolate#interpolateRgb), [numbers](https://github.com/d3/d3-interpolate#interpolateNumber), and [transforms](https://github.com/d3/d3-interpolate#interpolateTransform) are automatically detected. [Strings](https://github.com/d3/d3-interpolate#interpolateString) with embedded numbers are also detected, as is common with many styles (such as padding or font sizes) and paths. To specify a custom interpolator, use [*transition*.attrTween](#transition_attrTween), [*transition*.styleTween](#transition_styleTween) or [*transition*.tween](#transition_tween).
