This example shows a world map projected using the Mollweide projection, with graticule lines, land masses in dark fill, and country boundaries in white. The map is rendered as SVG using D3 v3 with the `d3.geo.mollweide` projection, `d3.geo.path`, and `d3.geo.graticule`. Land and boundary data come from a TopoJSON file of world countries, processed with `topojson.feature` and `topojson.mesh`. The code defines sphere, stroke, fill, graticule, land, and boundary CSS classes to style the visual layers.

AI-generated description

The Mollweide projection is available as d3.geo.mollweide in the geo.projection D3 plugin. The Mollweide projection is also used by the Sinu-Mollweide, Boggs eumorphic, Bromley, Goode homolosine and Wagner IV projections. See also the interrupted form as arranged by Goode, and Mollweide hemispheres. An interesting oblique aspect of the Mollweide projection is the Atlantis projection.

Mollweide Hemispheres

This example displays a world map using the Mollweide projection, interrupted into two hemispheres—northern and southern—which are rotated twenty degrees and centered on a 960-by-500 SVG canvas. The map shows landmasses as dark shapes with white country boundaries, overlaid on a graticule, all clipped to a circular sphere. It uses the `d3.geo.interrupt` and `d3.geo.mollweide.raw` projections with `d3.geo.path`, and renders geographic data from a World 50m TopoJSON dataset, drawing both land polygons and a mesh of country boundaries.

Interrupted Mollweide

This example depicts the world using an interrupted Mollweide projection, styled after the Goode homolosine to reduce shape distortion across continents. The landmasses are silhouetted in dark gray with white country boundaries, while a graticule overlays the map. The code builds this projection with `d3.geo.interrupt` applied to `d3.geo.mollweide.raw`, defining custom lobes for each hemisphere. It renders geographical data from the world-50m GeoJSON file via `d3.json`, using `d3.geo.path` to draw the sphere, graticule, land, and boundary features into an SVG canvas.

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.

Sinu-Mollweide

This example demonstrates the Sinu-Mollweide map projection, a hybrid of the Mollweide and Sinusoidal projections, rendered as an SVG world map. The code uses D3 v3 with the extended geographic projections plugin, specifically calling `d3.geo.sinuMollweide` to define the projection. The map displays graticules, landmasses from a TopoJSON file (`world-50m.json`), and country boundaries, with a sphere outline and white fill. The projection is centered and scaled, and `d3.geo.path` handles the path generation for all geographic features.

Spherical Mercator

The example shows the spherical Mercator projection applied to a world map, displayed within a circular outline that represents the globe. The map renders landmasses in dark gray with white country boundaries, overlaying a graticule grid of meridians and parallels. Built with d3.geoMercator and d3.geoPath, it draws the sphere outline, graticule, and world geography via SVG paths. Geographic data comes from the world-atlas TopoJSON dataset, processed with topojson-client to extract land and country meshes.

World Map using Mercator Projection

This example displays a world map using the Mercator projection, rendered as SVG paths with countries filled in white on a blue ocean background. It loads GeoJSON country boundaries from a gist and uses `d3.geoMercator` for projection, `d3.geoPath` to generate the paths, and `topojson.feature` to convert TopoJSON data. A sphere outline is drawn first, and country paths are appended dynamically from the fetched dataset.

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.

Equidistant Conic Projection

This example shows a world map drawn with the equidistant conic projection, including a graticule, landmasses, and country boundaries. The map is rendered as SVG using D3’s `d3.geo.conicEquidistant` projection and `d3.geo.path` to generate the paths. A sphere outline and graticule are drawn first, then geographic data from a TopoJSON file (`world-50m.json`) is loaded with `topojson.feature` and `topojson.mesh` to display land and political borders.
