This map projection visualization compares country-level statistics on water access, life expectancy, and education using a parallel coordinates plot. The graphic uses D3 v3 with SVG rendering to draw polygonal lines connecting each country's values across the four categorized axes. Data is loaded from a tab-separated file containing World Bank indicators, with both background and foreground line layers for interactive hover states. The implementation relies on D3 scales, axes, and the d3.line helper function to map the multidimensional dataset.

Map Projections

This parallel coordinates plot compares four numeric indicators—water access, life expectancy, schooling, and country—across a dataset of countries. The visualization uses the `d3.svg.line` API to draw polylines, where each axis represents a dimension with its own scale. The chart includes interactive highlighting, with mouseover and mouseout events, to emphasize individual country profiles against the others. The data is loaded from a tab-separated file and rendered using D3 v3 with SVG output.

Map Projections

This interactive scatterplot compares dozens of map projections across four quantitative distortion metrics—scale, areal, angular, and accuracy at 40 degrees—plus a categorical name axis. Built with D3 v3, it renders polylines (via `d3.svg.line`) as parallel coordinates, with each projection path connecting its metric values. The code loads data from a TSV file and uses `d3.scale.ordinal` and `d3.scale.linear` to map axes, with hover interactions highlighting a single projection while dimming others.

Map Projections

This interactive visualization compares 41 map projections across four distortion metrics—accuracy at 40°, scale, areal, and angular distortion—using parallel coordinates. Each projection is a polyline crossing four vertical axes, with lower values indicating better performance. Users hover over any line or axis label to highlight that projection and dim all others. The data, transcribed from Natural Earth Projection, is rendered as SVG using d3.v3, with axes and chart elements built via d3.svg.axis and d3.svg.line, and loaded from a TSV file.

Parallel Coordinates

This parallel coordinates chart uses color-coded polylines to display country-level survey data across multiple dimensions, including happiness, art/education, environmental concern, and organizational memberships. Built with D3.js v3, the visualization renders SVG paths for both background context (gray) and foreground focus (steel blue) lines. The code implements interactive brushing via `d3.svg.brush()` to filter data, and uses `d3.behavior.drag()` to allow users to reorder axes by dragging. Axis labels are mapped through `d3.scale.ordinal()` and `d3.scale.linear()`, with data loaded from the `total4.csv` file.

World Map

This interactive world map displays global countries with a three-dimensional orthographic projection, allowing users to drag the globe to rotate it and click individual countries to switch between projections. The visualization uses D3.js with `d3.geoPath` and `d3.geoProjection` for rendering, TopoJSON for country boundaries, and world-atlas data. A graticule overlay shows latitude and longitude lines, while a `d3.drag` handler enables rotation and `d3.zoom` supports scaling. Country names are linked via TSV data, and hover effects highlight selected regions.

Parallel Coordinates

This visualization uses parallel coordinates to compare country-level indicators like happiness, environmental engagement, and religious participation, with each country represented by a drawn path. The code loads data from a CSV file using `d3.csv` and renders the chart with D3 v3’s SVG and animation support. Users can drag any axis to reorder dimensions, and the `d3.svg.brush` component enables filtering along individual axes, temporarily hiding background paths during interaction. The visualization also uses ordinal and linear scales to map categorical dimensions and quantitative values to screen coordinates.

Country Map with d3.js

This example displays a world map using D3.js, coloring individual countries based on sample population data. It shows a Mercator projection of the globe, with the United States and China shaded according to the provided values. The visualization constructs the map by appending SVG paths from GeoJSON data to the chart. It relies on D3 APIs including `d3.geoMercator`, `d3.geoPath`, `d3.json`, `d3.scaleLinear`, and `d3.extent` to handle the projection, rendering, and color encoding, with a domain from data values mapped to a light-to-dark color range.

d3 World Map

This example displays a world map using an orthographic projection, with each country colored according to its economy classification from the World Atlas dataset. The visualization loads geographic data as TopoJSON and country metadata as TSV, then joins them by ISO code. It renders the sphere and country boundaries as SVG paths using `d3.geoPath`, assigns colors via `d3.scaleOrdinal` with the `schemeSpectral` range, and adds hover effects and zooming through `d3.zoom`.
