This example visualizes the Earth using the polar azimuthal equal-area projection, with landmasses in black and country boundaries in white against a graticule. The map is centered on the North Pole and rendered as an SVG, with a sphere outline and fill. The code uses `d3.geo.azimuthalEqualArea()` for the projection and `d3.geo.path()` to draw features from a TopoJSON world dataset loaded via `d3.json`.

Lambert Azimuthal Equal-Area

This example visualizes world landmasses and country boundaries using a Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection, centered on the globe to produce a circular map. The graticule and sphere outline frame the map, while land is filled dark against a light background. Built with D3 v4, it uses `d3.geoAzimuthalEqualArea` for projection, `d3.geoPath` for rendering shapes, and `d3.geoGraticule` for the grid, pulling geographic data from a world-50m JSON dataset via `topojson`. The SVG output is styled with CSS classes for land, boundaries, and graticule.

Azimuthal Equidistant

This example demonstrates the azimuthal equidistant projection, a map projection that preserves accurate distances from a central point. The map is centered on San Francisco, with the world rendered using outlines and filled landmasses. The visualization uses D3’s `d3.geoAzimuthalEquidistant` projection and `d3.geoPath` to draw the sphere, graticule, and geographic features. Land and boundary data come from a world-atlas TopoJSON file, processed using the `topojson-client` library. The SVG output includes a graticule, a stroked sphere outline, and a white-filled sphere background.

Cylindrical Equal-Area

This example shows a world map rendered using the cylindrical equal-area projection, with dark landmasses and light country boundaries overlaid on a graticule. The projection’s shape is modified by selecting different standard parallels, such as Gall–Peters or Hobo–Dyer, highlighting how the choice affects the map’s proportions. The visualization uses `d3.geoCylindricalEqualArea` and `d3.geoPath` from the `d3-geo-projection` library to draw the paths, while geodata is loaded as TopoJSON from a GitHub-hosted file. The SVG output is styled with CSS classes for the graticule, land, and boundaries.

Flat-Polar Quartic

This example displays a world map projected using the flat-polar quartic projection, which flattens the poles into curved, diamond-like shapes. The map shows landmasses in dark gray with country boundaries in white, overlaid on a graticule grid and enclosed by a circular sphere outline. It uses D3 v3 with the `d3.geo.mtFlatPolarQuartic` projection, `d3.geo.path` for rendering SVG paths, and TopoJSON to load world-50m geographic data. A graticule layer is generated via `d3.geo.graticule`, and the sphere outline is reused as both stroke and fill.

Azimuthal Equidistant

This example uses D3 version 3 to create an azimuthal equidistant projection centered on New York City. It draws graticule rings at constant distances from that origin using `d3.geo.circle` and projects them with `d3.geo.azimuthalEquidistant`. The map renders world landmasses and country boundaries from a TopoJSON source, presenting the Earth’s surface as a set of concentric distance rings with a white boundary overlay.

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.

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.

Map Projection

This example displays a world map using an equal-earth projection, rendered as SVG paths. The visualization shows landmasses in teal, country interiors as lighter strokes, graticules as gray lines, and the surrounding sphere in light gray. It loads GeoJSON data from the world-atlas TopoJSON file via `d3.json`, converts it using `topojson.feature` and `topojson.mesh`, and draws the map with `d3.geoPath` and `d3.geoEqualEarth`. The React component manages asynchronous data loading with `useData`.
