MAP - SIZED POINTS
This example displays a world map with points sized by city population, revealing geographic population clusters. The map uses an equirectangular projection with graticules and country boundaries. The visualization is built with React and D3 v5, using d3.geoNaturalEarth1 for projection, d3.geoPath for rendering geographies, and d3.scaleSqrt for encoding population values as circle radii. City data comes from a CSV with 50,000+ populated places, while country boundaries derive from the World Atlas TopoJSON. Semi-transparent circles preserve readability over dense areas.
