This map of the Americas colors each country according to its official language(s), using the Lichen.js stripe library to encode multiple languages per country as striped patterns. The visualization uses a transverse Mercator projection to render the continents, with each country filled by a distinct stripe pattern assigned by the `stripeManager`. A legend on the right side lists each language with its corresponding stripe color, making it easy to identify the official languages spoken across the region, including countries with multiple official languages. The map is rendered as SVG and uses D3 v4 with the Lichen.js library for the stripe generation.

AI-generated description

A more formal attempt at a proper d3 utility, lichen.js, for patterning SVG shapes.

The utility and the block are an evolution of this block.
