A fork of the Submarine Cables Globe, this interactive visualization maps global undersea cable networks onto a draggable, zoomable orthographic globe. It renders world landmasses, graticules, and cable routes using d3.geoPath, while d3.drag and d3.zoom enable panning and scaling. Cable colors come directly from the dataset’s properties. The code loads geographic data via topojson-client and fetches the submarine cable GeoJSON from a public API, demonstrating how to layer vector features on a projected sphere.

Fork of Submarine Cables Globe

This interactive globe visualization displays worldwide submarine cable routes on a rotatable and zoomable orthographic projection. The code uses d3-geo’s `geoOrthographic` and `geoPath` to render world landmasses from TopoJSON data, while cable locations come from a TeleGeography fork. Drag and zoom behaviors adjust the globe’s rotation and scale in real time, blending geographic mapping with user-driven exploration.

Fork of Submarine Cables Globe

An interactive orthographic globe visualizes the global submarine cable network, with colored cable paths linking countries and continents. Users can drag to rotate the sphere and zoom to adjust scale. The visualization loads geographic data from the visionscarto-world-atlas package and cable coordinates from a TeleGeography GitHub repository, rendering them using `d3.geoPath` and `d3.geoOrthographic`. Drag and zoom interactions are implemented with `d3.drag` and `d3.zoom`, while `d3.graticule` adds reference lines.

Fork of Submarine Cables Globe

This interactive globe visualizes submarine cable routes using an orthographic projection. The map renders landmasses, a graticule, and colored cable paths from TeleGeography data using d3.geoPath. Users can drag to rotate the globe and zoom with the mouse wheel, with d3.drag and d3.zoom updating the projection’s rotation and scale. The visualization loads TopoJSON world atlas data and submarine cable GeoJSON from remote sources, dynamically updating the scene as state changes.

Fork of Submarine Cables Globe

This example presents an interactive orthographic globe rendering the world’s submarine cable network. Users can drag to rotate the sphere and scroll to zoom, with the view updating via d3’s drag and zoom behaviors. The visualization uses d3.geoOrthographic and d3.geoPath to draw country outlines, a graticule, and colored cable routes from TeleGeography’s (outdated) GitHub data, loaded through TopoJSON and fetched as JSON. The globe’s appearance is styled through SVG paths, with animation enabled by default.

Fork of Submarine Cables Globe

A globe visualization displays submarine communication cables as colored lines over a world map, rendered using the D3.js library’s geoOrthographic projection and geoPath. Users can drag to rotate the globe and zoom to adjust scale, with interactions handled via d3.drag and d3.zoom. The map and cable data load from external JSON and TopoJSON sources, while a graticule and sphere outline frame the view.

Fork of Submarine Cables Globe

This example displays a globe with submarine cable routes rendered as colored paths over country boundaries and a graticule. Users can drag to rotate the globe via a D3 drag handler and zoom using a D3 zoom transform, which adjusts the orthographic projection’s scale. The visualization fetches world atlas TopoJSON and cable GeoJSON data from external URLs, then projects them with `d3.geoOrthographic` and `d3.geoPath`. The code uses state management to load data, initialize rotation, and fit the globe to the container size.

Fork of Submarine Cables Globe

A fork of the Submarine Cables Globe displays a draggable, zoomable orthographic projection of Earth, with submarine cable paths overlaid on country outlines. Users rotate the globe by dragging and zoom with the mouse wheel, adjusting the projection’s rotation and scale. It fetches world atlas data as TopoJSON and cable data as GeoJSON, rendering them via `d3.geoPath` and `geoOrthographic`. The code uses D3’s `drag`, `zoom`, and `geoGraticule` APIs, with data sourced from TeleGeography’s older GitHub repository.

Fork of Submarine Cables Globe

This spinning globe visualizes the global submarine cable network, with individual cables drawn as curved arcs over Earth’s surface. The visualization uses Three.js for 3D rendering, including texture mapping and interactive rotation. Cable coordinates come from the TeleGeography submarine cable dataset, loaded via a custom map parser. The globe automatically rotates, and users can drag to explore the network. The implementation relies on Three.js’s `SphereGeometry` and `ORBITAL` controls, with the cable paths rendered as `LineCurveGeometry` instances.
