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.

Flat-Polar Parabolic

A flat-polar parabolic projection maps the world onto an oval-shaped canvas, with landmasses filled in dark gray and country boundaries marked by thin white lines. The visualization also includes a graticule grid and an outer sphere outline, rendered as SVG paths using d3.geo.path and the d3.geo.mtFlatPolarParabolic projection. Geographic data comes from a TopoJSON world file, processed via topojson.feature and topojson.mesh. The projection scale and translation are set explicitly, with precision configured for smooth rendering.

Flat-Polar Sinusoidal

This visualization displays a world map using the flat-polar sinusoidal projection, with landmasses shown in dark gray and country boundaries as white lines over a graticule. The map is rendered as SVG paths using d3.geo.path with d3.geo.mtFlatPolarSinusoidal, while d3.geo.graticule generates the latitude and longitude grid. Land and boundary data come from a TopoJSON file loaded via d3.json, with features extracted using topojson.feature and topojson.mesh.

Quartic Authalic

This example displays a world map using the quartic authalic projection, a variant of the Hammer projection with an infinite coefficient, resulting in a distinctive flattened and stretched appearance. The map shows landmasses in dark gray with white country boundaries, overlaid on a graticule grid, all enclosed within a circular sphere outline. Built with D3 v3, it uses `d3.geo.hammer()` with a coefficient of `Infinity` to define the projection, `d3.geo.path()` for rendering, and TopoJSON to load world-50m geographic data. The SVG output includes styled paths for the sphere, graticule, land, and boundaries.

Flat Earth Map

This example visualizes the world as a spinning globe using the "Flat Earth" Azimuthal Equidistant projection, a map style associated with flat-Earth beliefs. The code loads geographic data from `world-110m` via TopoJSON and renders it with an SVG path. A `d3.timer` continuously updates the projection’s rotation, tilting the globe vertically while spinning it horizontally. The implementation uses `d3.geoAzimuthalEquidistant`, `d3.geoPath`, and `topojson.feature` to convert the TopoJSON land masses into a dynamic, animated display.

Rectangular Polyconic

This example demonstrates the rectangular polyconic map projection, a pseudoconical projection that renders the world with curved meridians and straight parallels. The map shows landmasses in dark gray with country boundaries in white, overlaid on a graticule grid and enclosed by a spherical outline. Built with D3.js v3, it uses `d3.geo.rectangularPolyconic` from the extended projections plugin, `d3.geo.path` for geographic rendering, and `d3.geo.graticule` to generate the grid. World geometry comes from a TopoJSON file loaded via `topojson.feature` and `topojson.mesh`.

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.

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.

Polar Azimuthal Equal-area

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`.
