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.

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 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.

Sinusoidal

This example demonstrates the sinusoidal map projection, which represents the entire world on a two-dimensional plane with curved meridians and straight parallels. The visualization uses D3 v3 with the `d3.geo.sinusoidal` projection from the d3.geo.projection plugin, rendering land masses and country boundaries from a TopoJSON dataset. The map includes a graticule overlay and a white sphere outline, with land filled in dark gray and boundaries drawn in white. The code defines the projection’s scale, translation, and precision via `d3.geo.path`.

Interrupted Sinusoidal II

This example displays a world map using an interrupted sinusoidal projection, splitting the globe’s landmasses into separate lobes for the northern and southern hemispheres. The map uses a white graticule and country boundaries over dark land areas, all clipped to a sphere outline. The visualization relies on d3-geo-projection’s `geoInterrupt` and `geoSinusoidalRaw` functions, with paths drawn using `d3.geoPath`. Geographic data comes from a world-50m GeoJSON file, processed via the topojson library, and rendered as SVG elements.

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.

Interrupted Sinusoidal

This example shows an interrupted sinusoidal projection of the world map, with the globe split into separate lobes in both hemispheres to emphasize land masses. The asymmetrical lobe boundaries, based on the Nordisk Världs Atlas, are visible through the white borders between countries. The visualization uses `d3.geoInterrupt` with `d3.geoSinusoidalRaw` to define the projection, and `d3.geoPath` to render the sphere, graticule, land, and country boundaries. Geographic data comes from the `world-50m.json` TopoJSON file, which is processed with `topojson.feature` and `topojson.mesh`.

Polyconic

This visualization demonstrates the Polyconic map projection, a compromise projection that preserves distances along the central meridian and each parallel. It displays the world’s landmasses as solid black shapes with white country boundaries, overlaid on a graticule grid and an outlined sphere. The example uses the D3 v3 library with the `d3.geo.polyconic` projection plugin, `d3.geo.path` for rendering, and `topojson.v1` to process world-50m.json geographic data, drawing everything as SVG paths.

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.
