The example shows a world map rendered with the Lambert conformal conic projection, using a graticule and sphere outline to clarify the projection’s shape. It displays landmasses in dark gray and country borders as thin white lines over a light background. The visualization uses d3.geoConicConformal to define the projection, d3.geoPath to generate SVG paths, and topojson.feature and topojson.mesh to extract land and border geometries from the world-50m dataset. The graticule is drawn with d3.geoGraticule10, and all elements are rendered as SVG paths.

AI-generated description

The Lambert conformal conic projection is available as d3.geoConicConformal in d3-geo. See also a map of Europe in this projection.

Lambert Conformal Conic

This example shows a Lambert conformal conic projection of the world map, rendered from TopoJSON data. The map displays country outlines as a single land layer. The visualization uses the d3.v3 library, specifically the `d3.geo.path()` function with a `null` projection, to draw the projected paths onto an SVG canvas. The TopoJSON data is loaded from `world.json` and converted to features using `topojson.feature` before being inserted into the scene.

Equidistant Conic Projection

This example shows a world map drawn with the equidistant conic projection, including a graticule, landmasses, and country boundaries. The map is rendered as SVG using D3’s `d3.geo.conicEquidistant` projection and `d3.geo.path` to generate the paths. A sphere outline and graticule are drawn first, then geographic data from a TopoJSON file (`world-50m.json`) is loaded with `topojson.feature` and `topojson.mesh` to display land and political borders.

Lambert Azimuthal Equal-Area

This example visualizes world landmasses and country boundaries using a Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection, centered on the globe to produce a circular map. The graticule and sphere outline frame the map, while land is filled dark against a light background. Built with D3 v4, it uses `d3.geoAzimuthalEqualArea` for projection, `d3.geoPath` for rendering shapes, and `d3.geoGraticule` for the grid, pulling geographic data from a world-50m JSON dataset via `topojson`. The SVG output is styled with CSS classes for land, boundaries, and graticule.

Clipped Conic Conformal

A map of the world is rendered using the Clipped Conic Conformal projection, showing landmasses in dark gray with country borders in white over a graticule of light gray lines. The visualization clips the map to the projection's extent so that only the relevant region is visible. It uses d3.geoConicConformal, d3.geoPath, and d3.geoGraticule, with vector data from the `world-50m.v1.json` TopoJSON file, and the world land and country meshes are drawn via `topojson.feature` and `topojson.mesh` into the SVG canvas.

Asia Lambert Conic Conformal

This visualization displays Asia using the Lambert Conic Conformal projection, with a graticule of latitude and longitude lines overlaid on top. A single country, Russia, is highlighted in gray and outlined in black. The map is rendered as SVG using D3.js version 3, employing the `d3.geo.conicConformal` projection and the `d3.geo.graticule` generator to draw the coordinate grid. Geographic data comes from a world-50m GeoJSON file loaded via `d3.json`, and the map paths are drawn using `d3.geo.path`.

Larrivée

This example displays a world map using the Larrivée projection, a pseudocylindrical equal-area projection that resembles a flattened globe with curved meridians. Landmasses appear as dark shapes with white country boundaries, set against a graticule and a spherical outline. The map is rendered with SVG via D3’s `d3.geo.path` and the `d3.geo.larrivee` projection from the geo.projection plugin, while TopoJSON data (`world-50m.json`) supplies the land and country meshes. The visualization includes a graticule layer and a white-filled sphere background.

Polyconic

This visualization demonstrates the Polyconic map projection, a compromise projection that preserves distances along the central meridian and each parallel. It displays the world’s landmasses as solid black shapes with white country boundaries, overlaid on a graticule grid and an outlined sphere. The example uses the D3 v3 library with the `d3.geo.polyconic` projection plugin, `d3.geo.path` for rendering, and `topojson.v1` to process world-50m.json geographic data, drawing everything as SVG paths.

Rectangular Polyconic

This example demonstrates the rectangular polyconic map projection, a pseudoconical projection that renders the world with curved meridians and straight parallels. The map shows landmasses in dark gray with country boundaries in white, overlaid on a graticule grid and enclosed by a spherical outline. Built with D3.js v3, it uses `d3.geo.rectangularPolyconic` from the extended projections plugin, `d3.geo.path` for geographic rendering, and `d3.geo.graticule` to generate the grid. World geometry comes from a TopoJSON file loaded via `topojson.feature` and `topojson.mesh`.
