This example presents a world map using the Briesemeister projection, an oblique Hammer projection with a 1.75:1 aspect ratio and an oblique orientation centered at 10°E 45°N. It shows the landmasses in dark gray with white country boundaries, overlaid on a graticule, all within a sphere outline. The visualization uses d3.geo.projection with a raw Hammer projection, rotated and scaled, to render SVG paths for land, boundaries, and graticule. The geographic data for the land and boundaries originates from a world-50m TopoJSON file, processed with topojson.feature and topojson.mesh.

AI-generated description

The Briesemeister projection is a rescaled oblique Hammer projection, with an aspect ratio of 1.75:1 rather than 2:1. It uses an oblique aspect of 10°E 45°N.

Briesemeister to Bertin1953

This example demonstrates the Bertin 1953 projection as a modified Briesemeister projection, visualized with a world map rendered from a TopoJSON file. Interactive checkboxes let the viewer alter the projection's aspect ratio, rotation, and asymmetric warping applied to the western, southern, or northern hemispheres. The custom projection function is built using `d3.geoProjection`, `d3.geoHammerRaw` from the d3-geo-projection package, and the map is drawn with `d3.geoPath` and a graticule in an SVG.

Eckert–Greifendorff

This example visualizes the Eckert–Greifendorff projection, a custom variant of the Hammer projection with a coefficient of 4, by displaying world landmasses and country boundaries overlaid on a graticule. The spherical outline is drawn with a white fill and black stroke, while land appears in dark gray. It uses D3 v3, the `d3.geo.hammer` plugin, and TopoJSON to load and render the world-50m dataset via SVG paths. The projection is configured with a scale and translation to center the map.

Hammer

The example shows a world map using the Hammer projection, with landmasses rendered in dark gray and country boundaries outlined in white against a graticule. It demonstrates how the projection’s coefficient B can be customized, though the code displays the default B=2. Using D3 v3, it applies `d3.geo.hammer` from the geo.projection plugin, `d3.geo.path` for geographic rendering, and `d3.geo.graticule` for the grid. TopoJSON data from a remote world-50m file is converted with `topojson.feature` and `topojson.mesh` to draw land and boundaries into an SVG.

Hammer Retroazimuthal

This example displays a world map using a Hammer retroazimuthal projection, centered on parallel 52°N, with vector land and boundary outlines rendered as SVG paths clipped to the projected sphere. The code uses d3.geo.path with a custom projection and d3.geo.graticule to draw the graticule, while topojson.v1 loads and processes the world-50m GeoJSON data for land and country boundaries. A white stroke highlights the map boundary, and the projection’s clip angle ensures no artifacts appear beyond the map’s edge.

Mollweide Hemispheres

This example displays a world map using the Mollweide projection, interrupted into two hemispheres—northern and southern—which are rotated twenty degrees and centered on a 960-by-500 SVG canvas. The map shows landmasses as dark shapes with white country boundaries, overlaid on a graticule, all clipped to a circular sphere. It uses the `d3.geo.interrupt` and `d3.geo.mollweide.raw` projections with `d3.geo.path`, and renders geographic data from a World 50m TopoJSON dataset, drawing both land polygons and a mesh of country boundaries.

Maurer No. 73

This example visualizes the world map using the Maurer No. 73 projection, a pseudonic equal-area projection that warps continents into a curved, flower-like shape. The map displays landmasses in dark gray with white country boundaries, overlaid with a graticule and enclosed by a circular sphere outline. It uses D3 v3 with the `d3.geo.hill` projection from the geo.projection plugin, rendered as SVG via `d3.geo.path`. Geographic data comes from a TopoJSON world dataset loaded with `topojson.feature` and `topojson.mesh`.

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.

Nell–Hammer

This example shows the Nell–Hammer map projection, a pseudocylindrical equal-area projection that renders the entire globe as an ellipse. It displays world landmasses in dark gray, country boundaries in white, and a graticule of meridians and parallels in light gray. The code uses the `d3.geo.nellHammer` projection from the `d3.geo.projection` plugin, with `d3.geo.path` to draw the projected geometry. Land and boundary data come from a TopoJSON source (`world-50m.json`), processed via the `topojson` library. Rendering is done with SVG, and the sphere outline is defined once as a reusable `<defs>` element.
