This example demonstrates the Eckert II projection, a pseudocylindrical equal-area map projection, applied to a world map. A graticule overlays the projection to show latitude and longitude lines, while landmasses appear in dark gray with white country boundaries. The visualization loads world data from a TopoJSON file and renders it using D3 v3’s `d3.geo.eckert2` projection and `d3.geo.path` for SVG paths. Spherical outlines are drawn via a sphere path, and the graticule is generated with `d3.geo.graticule`.
AI-generated descriptionThe Eckert II projection is available as d3.geo.eckert2 in the geo.projection D3 plugin.
