This example demonstrates how to create a choropleth map of U.S. counties using D3.js and TopoJSON. It renders a geographic projection with the `d3.geoAlbersUsa()` projection and `d3.geoPath()`, drawing landmasses as light green paths over a blue sphere. The map fetches county boundary data from the freeCodeCamp CDN, processes it with TopoJSON’s `feature()` function, and appends each country as an SVG path. The visualization uses an SVG canvas and is accompanied by a video tutorial, showcasing a straightforward workflow for building interactive maps.

Let's make a map with D3.js!

This example demonstrates how to create a choropleth map of U.S. counties using D3.js. It renders an SVG projection of the United States with a light background, then overlays county boundaries and merges them with education data loaded from freeCodeCamp’s testable projects API. The code uses `d3.geoAlbersUsa` for the projection, `d3.geoPath` to generate paths, and TopoJSON’s `feature` method to extract county geometries. Education statistics are fetched in parallel with county boundaries via `Promise.all`. The resulting visualization shows county outlines but does not yet color them by data values.

Let's make a map US-counties with D3.js!

This example renders a choropleth-style map of all US counties as light green SVG paths with subtle black borders. It uses D3 v5’s `geoAlbersUsa` projection and `geoPath` generator to convert TopoJSON county boundaries from the `us-atlas` dataset into scalable vector graphics. The code loads the TopoJSON via `d3.json`, extracts features with `topojson.feature`, and binds them to SVG path elements, while styling is handled with CSS class selectors.

Let's make a map with D3.js!

This example shows a basic choropleth map of U.S. counties, rendered as solid maroon SVG paths with thin black borders. The visualization uses D3 v5’s `geoPath` and `geoMercator` to project TopoJSON county boundaries loaded from a FreeCodeCamp-hosted dataset. The map displays all counties at once without any interactivity or data-encoding choropleth coloring, serving primarily as a technical demonstration of projecting and drawing geographic features with D3 and TopoJSON.

Let's make a map with D3.js!

This example visualizes U.S. county boundaries as a natural Earth projection map, with the sphere background filled in blue and country shapes rendered in light green. It loads GeoJSON data from a freeCodeCamp choropleth dataset and uses `d3.geoPath` with `d3.geoNaturalEarth1` to project and draw the paths. The code selects an SVG element, appends a sphere path, then joins the TopoJSON features to append individual county paths using D3's data join. The map is static, with no interaction or animation beyond the initial rendering.

Let's make a map of US-counties with D3.js:"hover and county name "

This example displays a choropleth-style map of all US counties rendered as SVG paths, with county names revealed on hover via a native `<title>` element. The visualization uses D3 v5’s `geoAlbersUsa` projection and `geoPath` to draw county boundaries from TopoJSON data loaded from the us-atlas package. County shapes are styled with black strokes and a green fill on mouseover, showing the geographic distribution of administrative divisions. The code filters the TopoJSON for county features and binds them to path elements, relying on the browser’s built-in tooltip behavior for the name display.

Let's make a US map with D3.js!

This example demonstrates how to create a map of the United States using D3.js, rendering each state as a green SVG path with black strokes. The code loads county-level TopoJSON data from the us-atlas package, extracts state boundaries with topojson.feature, and projects them using the d3.geoAlbersUsa() projection. State paths are generated with d3.geoPath and appended to an SVG element, with styles defined in an accompanying CSS file. The example uses D3 v5 and relies on the geo-albers-usa-territories plugin for the projection.

Let's make a map with D3.js!

This example displays a world map with countries filled in light green against a blue spherical background. It uses D3 v5 and TopoJSON to load world-atlas data and render the map as SVG paths. The code applies a US-centered Albers projection via `d3.geoAlbersUsa`, and draws the globe using `d3.geoPath` with a synthetic sphere feature.

Let's make a map of US-counties with D3.js:"hover and county name "

This example displays an interactive map of U.S. counties rendered as SVG paths, with each county’s name appearing as a tooltip on hover. The map uses the `geoAlbersUsa` projection and `geoPath` from D3 v5, while TopoJSON’s `feature` method extracts county geometries from the us-atlas counties-10m.json dataset. Hovering highlights the county in green via a CSS `:hover` rule. The visualization depends on D3’s `select` and `json` utilities to fetch and bind the geographic data.
