Forked from Monoliths Delaunay Triangulation

A global orthographic projection maps the locations of reported monoliths as black site points, connected by a network of white Delaunay triangulation links and overlaid on gray country outlines. The visualization uses `d3.geoOrthographic`, `d3.geoVoronoi`, `d3.geoPath`, and `d3.hexbin` to compute and render the triangulation, while `d3.drag` and `d3.zoom` enable interactive rotation and scaling. Data comes from a local `monoliths.csv` file.

AI-generated description

Quick prototype showing the locations of the monoliths that have been appearing. With help from Curran Kelleher, Jonah Adkins, and Alec Burch.

This is heavily based on a recreation by Philipe Rivière, with d3-geo-voronoi, of Jason Davies’s magistral demo World Airports Voronoi. Lightly modified to show the locations of global monoliths instead of airports.

Fork of Monoliths Delaunay Triangulation

This visualization plots the locations of reported monoliths on a rotating globe using an orthographic projection. It displays the sites as points, with Delaunay triangulation links connecting them, overlaid on country outlines from the World Atlas TopoJSON. The code uses `d3.geoOrthographic` and `d3.geoPath` for geographic rendering, `d3.geoVoronoi` for triangulation, and `d3.hexbin` to aggregate nearby coordinates. Drag and zoom interactions are enabled via `d3.drag` and `d3.zoom`, with the monolith data loaded from `monoliths.csv`.

Monoliths Delaunay Triangulation

This visualization displays a rotating globe with Delaunay triangulation lines connecting the locations of reported monoliths, which appear as bright points on a dark background. The orthographic projection uses d3.geoOrthographic and d3.geoPath to render world country boundaries from TopoJSON data. The triangulation is computed with d3.geoVoronoi, which generates the network of links between monolith sites, while d3.hexbin adds slight jitter to prevent exact alignment. The globe supports drag and zoom interactions via d3.drag and d3.zoom.

Fork of Monoliths on a Globe

This example plots the locations of reported monolith sightings on a 3D orthographic globe, with each steel-blue circle marking a site. The globe is draggable to rotate and zoomable via the mouse wheel. The visualization uses `d3.geoOrthographic` for projection, `d3.geoPath` with shared world-atlas TopoJSON data for rendering country boundaries, and `d3.drag` and `d3.zoom` for interaction. It also includes `d3.tip` tooltips that display the monolith name on hover.

Fork of Monoliths on a Globe

A fork of the "Monoliths on a Globe" prototype plots three monolith locations—Utah, Romania, and California—as steelblue circles on an orthographic globe. The visualization uses d3.geoOrthographic with d3.geoPath and topojson to render world boundaries at 50m and 110m resolutions, switching to the lower detail during drag and zoom interactions. Circles are positioned via a projection, with d3-tip tooltips showing names on hover. Population values are read from a CSV but are not used in the visible rendering, as circles have a fixed radius.

Fork of Monoliths on a Globe

This globe visualization plots the locations of three recently discovered monoliths in Utah, Romania, and California as steel-blue circles on an orthographic projection of Earth. The map uses `d3.geoOrthographic` with `d3.geoPath` to render country boundaries from TopoJSON world-atlas data, swapping between 110m and 50m resolution during and after drag interactions. Circles are positioned via the projection and display a tooltip with the monolith’s name using `d3-tip`. Users can drag to rotate the globe and zoom via `d3.zoom`, which scales the projection.

Fork of Fork of Monoliths on a Globe

The visualization displays city names and population counts as red circles positioned on an orthographic globe, rendered in SVG. Users can drag to rotate the Earth, which triggers low-resolution country boundaries during motion and high-resolution boundaries when stopped. The code uses d3.geoOrthographic, d3.geoPath, and d3.zoom for interaction, with d3-tip for hover tooltips. Data comes from an external CSV file, while country geometries load from the world-atlas TopoJSON dataset.

Fork of Monoliths on a Globe

An orthographic globe maps city populations with red circles that scale by square-root radius, using a high-resolution world boundary when idle and low-resolution during drag. Users rotate the globe via D3 drag and zoom with D3 zoom, while d3-tip tooltips display formatted population values on hover. The visualization loads TopoJSON country polygons from the world-atlas package and CSV data, projecting points with d3.geoPath and caching projected coordinates to filter out back-side cities.

Monoliths on a Globe

This example displays the locations of three recent monolith discoveries on an interactive orthographic globe, with city-sized markers projected onto a world map. Built with D3 v4, it loads GeoJSON country boundaries from the World Atlas TopoJSON files and monolith coordinates from a CSV. Users can drag to rotate the globe, which swaps between 110m and 50m resolution landmasses during movement, and zoom via the wheel. Tooltips use d3-tip to show each monolith’s name on hover.
