The Hobo–Dyer projection renders world landmasses and country boundaries as a cylindrical equal-area map with a 37.5º parallel, using dark land polygons and white boundary strokes over a graticule grid. The visualization loads TopoJSON world data (world-50m.json) and converts it to GeoJSON via `topojson.feature` and `topojson.mesh`. It draws the map with `d3.geo.path` and the `d3.geo.cylindricalEqualArea` projection from the geo.projection plugin, all rendered as SVG.

AI-generated description

The Hobo–Dyer projection is the d3.geo.cylindricalEqualArea projection with a parallel of 37.5º. It is available in the geo.projection D3 plugin.

Tobler–Mercator

This example demonstrates the Tobler–Mercator projection, a modified Mercator projection that preserves area. The world map is rendered with graticule lines, country boundaries, and a white sphere outline. Built with D3 v4, it combines `d3.geoProjection` with a custom projection function and `d3.geoPath` for geographic rendering. The map uses TopoJSON data from the world-atlas package, with land and country boundary geometries loaded via `d3.json` and processed using `topojson.feature` and `topojson.mesh`. The visualization is fully SVG-based.

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.

Bottomley

This example displays a world map using the Bottomley projection, a pseudocylindrical equal-area projection with curved parallels. Landmasses are filled in dark gray with white country boundaries, overlaid on a graticule and a black sphere outline. The code uses `d3.geo.bottomley()` from the d3.geo.projection plugin, rendered as SVG via `d3.geo.path()`. World data comes from a TopoJSON file, with countries meshed via `topojson.mesh` and land converted through `topojson.feature`.

Gnomonic

This example shows the world map projected using the gnomonic projection, where great circles appear as straight lines and distortion increases toward the edges. The map is clipped at a 90-degree angle, displaying landmasses in dark gray with white country boundaries over a graticule grid. The visualization uses D3 v3’s `d3.geo.gnomonic` projection and `d3.geo.path` to render SVG paths from TopoJSON world data, with the graticule drawn via `d3.geo.graticule`. The code sets projection scale, translation, and precision before loading the `world-50m.json` file.

Cylindrical Stereographic

A world map is rendered using the cylindrical stereographic projection, showcasing global landmasses and country boundaries over a graticule grid. The visualization uses the `d3.geoCylindricalStereographic` projection from the d3-geo-projection plugin, with `d3.geoPath` drawing the geographic features. Land areas are filled dark, while country borders appear as white lines, and the sphere outline is traced in black. The map is built from TopoJSON world data loaded via `d3.json`, with geographic features extracted using the `topojson.feature` and `topojson.mesh` APIs.

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.

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.

Van der Grinten III

The Van der Grinten III projection renders a world map with a circular boundary, showing landmasses as dark shapes with white country borders over a graticule of meridians and parallels. The visualization uses a D3 v3 geo path with the `d3.geo.vanDerGrinten3` projection from the extended geographic projections plugin. It loads world-50m TopoJSON data, converts it with `topojson.feature` and `topojson.mesh`, and draws the sphere, graticule, and land boundaries as SVG paths, styled with stroke and fill classes.
