The visualization renders an orthographic world map with country borders as SVG paths, which are then scattered outward using a force-directed layout, creating an “exploding” globe effect. D3.js v3 handles the projection and zoom behavior via `d3.geo.orthographic` and `d3.behavior.zoom`, while the force layout (`d3.layout.force`) pushes each country’s centroid away from its original position. The code retrieves GeoJSON data for world borders from CartoDB’s SQL API using the `cartodb.SQL` client, and applies a simplify operation to reduce detail. A second layer of populated place points is defined but not populated in the visible script.

Globe Zoom - Animate

A world map rendered with SVG marks a projected globe, where graticules, landmasses, and country interiors are drawn via `d3.geoPath` and `d3.geoGraticule`. Nuclear test explosion sites, loaded from a CSV, are plotted as small circles whose positions are calculated using a Mercator projection (`d3.geoMercator`). The visualization demonstrates how multiple geographic datasets can be overlaid and interactively explored, with tooltips showing each site’s name and coordinates. The implementation uses React for state management and `d3` v3 APIs for map and projection handling.

d3 World Map

This visualization displays a world map using an orthographic projection, with countries rendered as light green polygons that highlight orange on hover. The code loads geographic data from the world-atlas package via TopoJSON and joins it with country names from a TSV file. Using d3.geoPath and d3.geoOrthographic, it draws the globe’s sphere and country boundaries as SVG paths, with tooltips showing each nation’s name via appended title elements. The implementation relies on d3.v5, topojson-client, and a React-friendly structure with Promise.all for asynchronous data loading.

Let's make a map with D3.js!

This example shows an interactive world map rendered as SVG, where each country is colored light green and turns red on hover, with a dark blue sphere backdrop. Built with D3.js v5 and TopoJSON, it uses `d3.geoNaturalEarth1` for projection and `d3.geoPath` to draw country boundaries from the World Atlas 50m dataset. Zoom and pan are enabled via `d3.zoom`, while country names are loaded from a TSV file and attached as SVG title tooltips.

World Map with D3.js!

This example renders a world map using an equirectangular projection, with countries filled in pink against a light blue sphere. It loads country boundaries from a TopoJSON file (world-atlas countries-110m.json) and converts them to GeoJSON features using the `feature` method. The visualization employs D3 v5’s `geoPath` and `geoEquirectangular` functions to generate SVG paths, and CSS hover styles highlight each country in green. The sphere and country shapes are appended as SVG path elements with distinct classes.

Let's make a map with D3.js!

This example shows an interactive world map built with D3.js, displaying country boundaries as SVG paths colored light green, with a blue sphere background. The map supports zooming and panning through a d3.zoom behavior, and hovering over a country turns it red. It uses d3.geoNaturalEarth1 for projection and d3.geoPath for generating paths from TopoJSON data loaded from the world-atlas package, with country names joined from a TSV file and displayed as tooltips via SVG `<title>` elements.

world Map

This visualization displays an interactive world map using a simple equirectangular projection. Countries are rendered as SVG paths with light green fills and indigo outlines, with hover states that turn them maroon. The map supports pan and zoom interactions. The code uses d3.geoEquirectangular, d3.geoPath, and d3.zoom, loading GeoJSON data from the world-atlas TopoJSON file via topojson.feature.

The visualization uses `d3.geoNaturalEarth1` for projection and `d3.geoPath` to draw the globe and country boundaries from TopoJSON data loaded from the World Atlas. A `d3.zoom` behavior enables pan and zoom, while country names are joined from TSV data using `Promise.all`. The map is styled with CSS classes, featuring a blue sphere and light green countries.

simple map interactions

This example shows an interactive world map rendered as SVG, where each country displays its name as a tooltip on hover and the entire map can be panned and zoomed. It uses D3 v5’s `geoNaturalEarth1` projection with `geoPath` to draw country boundaries from TopoJSON data loaded from the world-atlas package, and country names are matched from a TSV file via ISO numeric codes. The zoom behavior is implemented with `d3.zoom`, applying the current transform to a group element, while CSS hover styles highlight countries and a sky-blue sphere path forms the ocean background.
