This example displays a world map using the Loximuthal projection, a pseudocylindrical equal-area projection. The map shows landmasses in black with white country boundaries overlaid on a graticule, all enclosed within a circular sphere outline. The visualization uses d3.geo.loximuthal from the extended geographic projections plugin, along with d3.geo.path and d3.geo.graticule to render the vector data. TopoJSON provides the world-50m geographic data, which is converted to GeoJSON features and meshes for the land and boundary layers.

AI-generated description

The loximuthal projection is available as d3.geo.loximuthal in the extended geographic projections plugin.

Littrow

The example displays a world map using the Littrow projection, with landmasses in dark gray and country boundaries in white, clipped to a spherical outline. It also overlays a graticule to show latitude and longitude lines. The visualization uses D3 v3 with the `d3.geo.littrow` projection plugin, `d3.geo.path`, and `d3.geo.graticule` to render geographic data from a TopoJSON file containing world land and country boundaries, all drawn as SVG elements.

Larrivée

This example displays a world map using the Larrivée projection, a pseudocylindrical equal-area projection that resembles a flattened globe with curved meridians. Landmasses appear as dark shapes with white country boundaries, set against a graticule and a spherical outline. The map is rendered with SVG via D3’s `d3.geo.path` and the `d3.geo.larrivee` projection from the geo.projection plugin, while TopoJSON data (`world-50m.json`) supplies the land and country meshes. The visualization includes a graticule layer and a white-filled sphere background.

Loximuthal projection & rhumb line

This interactive map uses the loximuthal projection, where rhumb lines (shown in green) appear as straight lines, with the reference parallel adjustable via mouse movement. It demonstrates a custom implementation of the projection using D3 v4 and the d3-geo-projection plugin, rendering land masses from TopoJSON world-atlas data and a graticule via d3.geoPath. The rhumb line is computed from a parametric formula and drawn as an SVG path, while projection.parallel() updates dynamically on mousemove or click events. The visualization also supports window resizing through projection.fitExtent.

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.

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.

Laskowski Tri-Optimal

This example displays a world map using the Laskowski tri-optimal projection, which minimizes both area and shape distortion. The visualization shows landmasses as dark shapes and country boundaries as thin white lines, all overlaid with a graticule and enclosed by a sphere outline. The code uses `d3.geo.laskowski` for the projection, `d3.geo.path` for rendering, and loads world data via TopoJSON from a remote file. The rendering is done in SVG with distinct CSS classes for land, boundaries, and graticule.

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.

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.
