This example displays a map of the United States using the Albers projection, a conic equal-area projection commonly used for national-scale choropleths. It renders the geographic boundaries as gray SVG paths with white strokes, loaded from a local `states.json` GeoJSON file. The code uses the D3 v3 library, specifically the `d3.geo.albers()` projection and `d3.geo.path()` to project and draw the feature collection.

Albers Projection

This example displays a map of the United States using the Albers projection, with each state drawn as a filled gray polygon with white outlines. The visualization loads GeoJSON data from a remote `us.json` file via `d3.json`, which is then converted into SVG paths using `topojson.feature` and `d3.geo.path()`. The map is rendered as a single SVG path element within a 960×500 canvas, demonstrating a basic static choropleth without additional interactivity or styling layers.

This example displays a map of the United States using an Albers USA projection, rendering state boundaries as SVG paths. It loads geographic data from a local `us-states.json` file containing a FeatureCollection of state polygons. The code uses d3.json to fetch the data and d3.geo.path with a d3.geo.albersUsa projection to convert GeoJSON coordinates into screen paths. The visualization presents a simple, static outline map without additional data encoding or interaction.

US Map Projection

This example displays a map of the United States using an Albers equal-area conic projection, with the landmass filled in light gray and state boundaries in white. It uses D3.js (d3.v7) with the `d3.geoAlbersUsa()` projection and the `d3.geoPath()` function to render the geographic shapes as SVG paths. The map is drawn within a fixed 960×600 viewport, and the underlying geographic data is handled by the TopoJSON library.

Albers USA

This example illustrates the Albers USA composite projection by dividing the map into four colored regions, each labeled with the conditional rule that determines which part of the United States it represents. It overlays a world map and graticule to show the geographic context. The visualization uses D3 v3 with `d3.geo.mercator`, `d3.geo.mercator`, `d3.geo.path`, and `d3.geo.graticule` to project and render SVG paths, while the division rectangles and lines are drawn manually to mark the Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and lower-48 regions. World land data comes from a remote TopoJSON file.

USA in v3

This example displays a static map of the United States, using the AlbersUSA projection to render state boundaries as SVG paths. It shows the geographic shape of the country without additional data encoding. The visualization uses D3 v4’s `d3.json` to load GeoJSON state data, then `d3.geoPath` with a `d3.geoAlbersUsa` projection to generate the paths. The map is centered and scaled within an SVG canvas. The code relies solely on the loaded GeoJSON features and does not include interactivity or color encoding.

Albers Equal-Area Conic

The visualization demonstrates the Albers equal-area conic projection, a standard map projection commonly used for the United States. It displays the country’s landmass, county boundaries, and state lines over a graticule grid, with a dark land fill contrasted against white administrative borders. The code uses d3.geo.albers with custom rotation, center, parallels, and scale parameters, and renders geographic features via d3.geo.path. TopoJSON data from a remote source is parsed with topojson.feature and topojson.mesh to draw the land and boundary layers, while d3.geo.graticule generates the grid.

Gist c74a36a544e6649522366453f5e1d6fa

A choropleth-style map of the United States renders state boundaries as black outlines on a white background, using an Albers USA projection centered within a 700x580 SVG. The visualization loads geographic features from a local `us-states.json` file and draws each state path via D3 v4’s `d3.geoPath` with a `d3.geoAlbersUsa` projection. No data values or color encoding are applied, leaving the map purely as a geometric outline of the country’s administrative divisions.

Untitled

This example displays a map of the United States, including Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, using a custom composite projection defined in `albers-usa-pr.js`. The code builds on `d3.geoAlbers` and `d3.geoConicEqualArea` to create `d3.geoAlbersUsaPr`, which is then used with `d3.geoPath` to render state boundaries from TopoJSON data in `states.js`. SVG paths are generated for each state, filled gray with white strokes.
