This example shows a satellite-style view of the United States, with a graticule grid overlaying the landmass. The map uses the `d3.geo.satellite` projection with a tilted and rotated camera angle, and clips the view to the globe’s visible horizon. The graticule is generated with `d3.geo.graticule`, while land boundaries are rendered from TopoJSON data via `topojson.feature` and drawn using `d3.geo.path`. The SVG output is styled with CSS classes for the graticule and boundary fills.

Satellite Projection

This example shows a satellite projection of the United States, with a graticule overlay and land boundaries rendered as SVG paths. The projection is created with `d3.geo.satellite()`, configured with a distance, scale, rotation, center, and tilt to simulate a view from space. The graticule is generated using `d3.geo.graticule()` and the map data is loaded from an external JSON file via `d3.json`. The code uses `d3.geo.path()` with the projection to draw both the graticule and the land polygons, which are converted from TopoJSON using `topojson.feature()`.

Satellite Projection Test

A tilted perspective satellite projection of the eastern seaboard, viewed from above Newburg, N.Y., overlays a red 1° graticule on a scanned reference map. The code uses d3.geo.satellite() with custom distance, rotation, and tilt parameters, and manually offsets the projection to align the graticule with the map image. It renders the graticule as an SVG path via d3.geo.path(), using d3.geo.graticule() to define the extent. The background image is loaded from a local readme.png file, and the graticule is clipped to a small area around the reference coordinates.

Satellite

This visualization shows a rotating globe with a graticule and sphere outline from the perspective of a satellite orbiting Earth. The animation continuously adjusts the camera tilt and rotation, creating a dynamic view of the planet’s surface. It uses the D3.js graphics pipeline with `d3.geo.satellite` for projection, `d3.geo.clipCircle` for visibility clipping, and the Canvas API for rendering. The data source is a graticule and sphere generated on the fly, with real-time animation driven by a timer and elapsed time.

satellite projection w graticule

This interactive visualization projects a view of Earth from a satellite, centered on Europe and North Africa, with a graticule grid overlaid. It uses `d3.geo.satellite()` to define the projection and renders map data onto a canvas via the StaticCanvasMap. The map displays Natural Earth coastline, Spanish provinces, and urban areas as separate layers, painting features dynamically with the spam library. A marker and label for Madrid are also projected and drawn on the map.

Transverse Mercator

This example demonstrates the transverse Mercator map projection, displaying world landmasses and country boundaries within a graticule grid. The map is rendered as SVG using the D3.js library, specifically employing the `d3.geoTransverseMercator` projection and `d3.geoPath` for drawing geometries. World data comes from the `world-atlas` package, processed with `topojson-client` to extract land and boundary features. The visualization includes a spherical outline, a graticule, and styled land and boundary paths, all centered within a 960x960 canvas.

Stereographic

A world map is displayed using the stereographic projection, showing landmasses in dark gray and country boundaries in white over a graticule grid. The projection rotates the globe by -20 degrees longitude and clips the view to a square. Built with D3 v3, the example uses `d3.geo.stereographic`, `d3.geo.path`, and `d3.geo.graticule`, rendering SVG paths from TopoJSON world data. The graticule is drawn beneath the land and boundary layers.

Satellite Projection Hebrides

A satellite projection of the Hebrides islands displays land, rivers, and lakes in muted greens and blues, rotating slowly to simulate an orbital view. The map redraws its geographic features as the mouse moves, adjusting latitude and longitude to follow the cursor. Built with D3.js and the d3-geo-projection library, it uses `d3.geoSatellite`, `d3.geoPath`, and TopoJSON data for vectors. The visualization updates paths dynamically, rendering SVG shapes with animation when idle.

August Projection

This example displays a world map using the August projection, a pseudocylindrical equal-area projection that curves parallels and meridians into distinctive intertwined shapes. The map renders land masses in dark gray with white country boundaries overlaid on a graticule, all enclosed within a spherical outline. Using D3 v3, the code employs `d3.geo.august` for the projection, `d3.geo.path` to draw geographic features, and `d3.geo.graticule` for the grid. TopoJSON data provides the world land and country boundaries, loaded from an external JSON file.
