This example shows a world map using the Hill eucyclic projection, a pseudoconic, equal-area projection. The map displays landmasses in dark gray with country boundaries in white, overlaid on a graticule and a sphere outline. The code builds the visualization with `d3.geo.hill` from the geo.projection plugin, `d3.geo.path` for rendering, and `d3.geo.graticule` for the grid. World data is loaded as TopoJSON from a `world-50m.json` file and converted to GeoJSON using `topojson.feature` and `topojson.mesh`.

AI-generated description

The Hill eucyclic projection is available as d3.geo.hill in the geo.projection D3 plugin. With a ratio of 0 rather than the default 1, this projection becomes the Maurer No. 73. The Hill projection is psuedoconic and equal-area. As the ratio approaches ∞, the projection converges to the Eckert IV.
