A rotatable globe displays Earth’s continents and oceans, with animated color-coded pings appearing at random latitude and longitude coordinates. The globe auto-rotates around its vertical axis using a custom `autorotate` plugin that updates the projection’s rotation each frame. Built with React, the visualization uses D3 v5’s projection and path APIs, TopoJSON for world-110m-withlakes data, and the Canvas API for rendering. Users can drag to pause rotation and zoom via the Planetary.js-compatible drag and zoom plugins, with support for high-density displays.

GLOBE

This interactive visualization presents a rotatable 3D orthographic globe of the world using D3.js and React. Users can drag the globe to explore different regions, with rotation applied via the versorDrag helper and d3.drag. The map displays country boundaries from TopoJSON world-atlas data (110m and 50m resolutions), rendered as SVG paths with hover highlighting. A graticule overlays the sphere to show latitude and longitude lines, while the projection updates dynamically through React state and d3.geoOrthographic.

Spinning Globe

A world map spins continuously to show all continents and the graticule grid, rendered as an orthographic projection that creates the illusion of a rotating globe. The code uses `d3.geoOrthographic`, `d3.geoPath`, and `d3.geoGraticule` to draw the sphere outline, graticule, and country borders, with data loaded from the visionscarto world-atlas TopoJSON file via `topojson-client`. Animation is driven by `requestAnimationFrame` in React, updating the projection’s rotation array each frame.

Rotating Globe

A rotating orthographic globe displays world landmasses and graticule meridians in SVG. The Earth spins continuously via a d3.timer that updates the d3.geoOrthographic projection’s rotation, with d3.geoPath rendering the geographic features from TopoJSON world-atlas data. A hover effect darkens countries, while a static color legend lists continents. Zoom and pan are supported through d3.zoom, with the globe group transformed on user input.

Globe Rotation

This example uses a D3 orthographic projection to render a rotating globe, showing country boundaries and a semi-transparent graticule over a blue sphere. A user can drag to rotate the globe, with the rotation state updated via a custom `versorDrag` handler that leverages the `versor` library for quaternion-based rotation. Geographic data comes from the world-atlas TopoJSON files (110m and 50m resolution) loaded through `d3.json` and converted to features with `topojson.feature`. The visualization is built as a React component using SVG, with the drag interaction managed through D3’s `drag` and `geoPath` methods.

Rotating Globe

A rotating orthographic globe displays Earth's landmasses in sky blue against a black background, with graticule lines and interactive country names on hover. The rotation is driven by a `d3.timer` that continuously updates the projection's rotation angles, while `d3.geoOrthographic` and `d3.geoPath` render the sphere and features. World map data comes from the `world-atlas` package, loaded via `d3.json` and `d3.tsv`, with country names built into a lookup table. The visualization uses SVG for rendering within a `d3` framework.

Rotating Globe

A rotating orthographic globe displays country boundaries and graticules, with land masses that change color on hover. The visualization uses D3 v5’s `geoOrthographic`, `geoPath`, and `geoGraticule` with a timer to continuously adjust the projection rotation. World map data comes from the World Atlas TopoJSON, while country names are loaded from a TSV file. Zooming is enabled via D3’s `zoom` behavior, and all rendering uses SVG paths.

Untitled

This example demonstrates an interactive 3D globe visualization built with React and D3. It renders a rotating Earth using `d3.geoOrthographic` and `d3.geoPath` to project country boundaries onto a canvas, with atmospheric shading applied through layered gradients. The code uses `d3.forceSimulation` to position label nodes around the planet, enabling smooth hover interactions that display country names and associated data. The visualization loads geographic coordinates from a bundled TopoJSON dataset and updates the globe’s rotation via a requestAnimationFrame loop, providing a dynamic and responsive exploration of world geography.

Fork of Globe Rotation

This example shows an interactive orthographic world map that users can drag to rotate, with the globe responding fluidly to pointer movement. The visualization renders country boundaries and graticules using React and D3’s `geoOrthographic` projection, while `geoPath` draws the sphere and grid lines. Drag interactions are handled with D3’s `drag` event system and the `versor` library, which computes quaternion rotations to update the projection’s rotation state via `setRotation`. The map’s data comes from the `world-atlas` TopoJSON files (110m and 50m resolutions), loaded asynchronously with D3’s `json` and converted to GeoJSON features using `topojson.feature`.
