This example visualizes global population data from the United Nations, using colored circles on a natural Earth projection map. D3’s `geoPath` and `geoCentroid` position each circle over its country’s centroid, while `scaleSqrt` encodes population magnitude through circle radius. A custom `sizeLegend` displays graduated population values, and `colorLegend` provides a color key. The map supports pan and zoom via `d3.zoom`, and country hover effects are styled in CSS. Data is loaded from CSV and TopoJSON, rendered as SVG.

Circles on a Map

This example displays world country outlines colored by population data from the UN, overlaid with a custom color legend. The map uses d3.geoNaturalEarth1 for projection and d3.geoPath to render geographic features, with zoom interaction via d3.zoom. Circles positioned using d3.geoCentroid appear on country centers. The legend demonstrates a reusable d3 module with SVG rendering, while data loads through d3.csv and d3.json with topojson.feature.

Circle on a Map

This example visualizes global population data by overlaying semi-transparent circles on a natural Earth projection map. The circles are sized using `d3.scaleSqrt` based on 2018 population figures, and hovering over countries reveals their population via a tooltip. The visualization uses `d3.geoPath` with `geoNaturalEarth1` for map projection, `d3.zoom` for panning and zooming, and includes both a color legend and a size legend built from `d3.scaleOrdinal` and `d3.scaleSqrt`. Data is loaded from a CSV file and TopoJSON world atlas using `d3.csv` and `d3.json`.

Circles on a Map

This example visualizes global population data on an interactive world map, with circular markers sized proportionally to each country’s 2018 population via a square-root scale. Hovering over a country reveals its exact population in a tooltip. The map uses d3.geoNaturalEarth1 and d3.geoPath for geographic projection and rendering, while d3.zoom enables pan and zoom. Circles are positioned using d3.geoCentroid, and data merges CSV population figures with TopoJSON world boundaries using topojson.feature, with legends built through custom colorLegend and sizeLegend modules.

Circles on a map

This map visualization displays the global population distribution for 2018 using circles sized by population count, placed at each country's geographic centroid over a natural Earth projection. The map uses `d3.geoPath` for rendering country boundaries and `d3.scaleSqrt` for circle sizing, with a legend showing population ranges. Users can zoom and pan using `d3.zoom`. Population data comes from a UN dataset (medium variant estimates), joined with TopoJSON world geometry via `d3.json` and `d3.csv`. A color legend marks missing data countries in red.

Circles on a Map

This visualization shows global population estimates for 2018 as colored circles positioned at the geographic centroid of each country on a natural Earth projection. A size legend encodes population magnitudes, while a color legend maps a categorical scale, with countries lacking data highlighted in a different shade. The code uses d3.geoPath and d3.geoCentroid for map rendering, d3.scaleSqrt for circle sizing, and d3.scaleOrdinal with a spectral scheme for colors. Population data comes from a UN CSV dataset, joined to country geometries from a TopoJSON world atlas. Users can pan and zoom via d3.zoom, with hover tooltips showing region names and formatted population counts.

Circles on the Map

This example displays a natural Earth projection world map where each country is filled with a light gray or pink color based on whether population data exists for 2020. Circles sized by population are placed at each country’s centroid using `geoCentroid` and scaled with `scaleSqrt`. The visualization uses `d3.geoPath` to render the map, `d3.zoom` for panning and zooming, and includes size and color legends built from reusable components. Data comes from UN population CSV files and TopoJSON world atlas geometry, processed with `topojson.feature`.

Circles on a Map

This visualization uses a natural Earth projection to display the population of each country as a circle, where the circle's area is proportional to the country's 2018 population. Users can pan and zoom the map, and hovering over a country reveals its name and population in a tooltip. The D3 code loads data from a UN CSV and a TopoJSON world atlas, computing circle sizes with `d3.scaleSqrt` and rendering the map using `d3.geoPath`. A size legend and a color legend for missing data are also included.

Circles on a Map

This visualization shows global population by country, with circles positioned at each country’s centroid. Circle area encodes population size, while a size legend communicates the scale; hovering reveals exact values or “missing data.” Users can pan and zoom the map. Built with D3 v5, it uses `d3.geoNaturalEarth1` and `d3.geoPath` for projection, `d3.zoom` for interaction, and `d3.scaleSqrt` for area encoding. Country boundaries come from TopoJSON, with population data loaded via CSV.
