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.

AI-generated description

The transverse Mercator projection is available as d3.geoTransverseMercator in d3-geo. See also the rotating version.

Spherical Mercator

The example shows the spherical Mercator projection applied to a world map, displayed within a circular outline that represents the globe. The map renders landmasses in dark gray with white country boundaries, overlaying a graticule grid of meridians and parallels. Built with d3.geoMercator and d3.geoPath, it draws the sphere outline, graticule, and world geography via SVG paths. Geographic data comes from the world-atlas TopoJSON dataset, processed with topojson-client to extract land and country meshes.

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.

Mercator Projection

This example displays a world map using a Mercator projection, with each country rendered as a gray shape outlined in white. The map is built with the D3.js version 3 library, using `d3.geo.mercator()` to define the projection and `d3.geo.path()` to convert GeoJSON geometries into SVG paths. The geographical data comes from a `countries.json` file containing feature collections loaded via `d3.json()`. The resulting visualization, rendered in an SVG element, demonstrates the classic distortion of landmasses toward the poles inherent to this projection method.

Rotating Transverse Mercator

A rotating transverse Mercator projection continuously spins a world map around its central meridian, showing how the projection distorts shapes and areas away from the axis of rotation. The animation uses a dark canvas with white country borders and a semi-transparent graticule, all rendered via `d3.geoPath` and Canvas 2D drawing. Land polygons and country boundaries come from TopoJSON data in the world-atlas package, while a `d3.timer` updates the projection’s rotation each frame. The code specifies `d3.geoTransverseMercator`, `d3.geoGraticule10`, and `topojson.feature` and `topojson.mesh` for data processing.

Equidistant Conic Projection

This example shows a world map drawn with the equidistant conic projection, including a graticule, landmasses, and country boundaries. The map is rendered as SVG using D3’s `d3.geo.conicEquidistant` projection and `d3.geo.path` to generate the paths. A sphere outline and graticule are drawn first, then geographic data from a TopoJSON file (`world-50m.json`) is loaded with `topojson.feature` and `topojson.mesh` to display land and political borders.

World Map using Mercator Projection

This example displays a world map using the Mercator projection, rendered as SVG paths with countries filled in white on a blue ocean background. It loads GeoJSON country boundaries from a gist and uses `d3.geoMercator` for projection, `d3.geoPath` to generate the paths, and `topojson.feature` to convert TopoJSON data. A sphere outline is drawn first, and country paths are appended dynamically from the fetched dataset.

Mollweide

This example shows a world map projected using the Mollweide projection, with graticule lines, land masses in dark fill, and country boundaries in white. The map is rendered as SVG using D3 v3 with the `d3.geo.mollweide` projection, `d3.geo.path`, and `d3.geo.graticule`. Land and boundary data come from a TopoJSON file of world countries, processed with `topojson.feature` and `topojson.mesh`. The code defines sphere, stroke, fill, graticule, land, and boundary CSS classes to style the visual layers.

Untitled

A world map rendered in the Mercator projection displays country boundaries as grey paths with thin white strokes. The example demonstrates loading GeoJSON-derived topology data from a local `world-110m2.json` file and converting it to SVG paths using `d3.geoPath`. The map is centered and rotated with `d3.geoMercator` and `projection.rotate`, and country features are extracted via `topojson.feature` from the TopoJSON library. The page uses D3 v7 to fetch the data asynchronously with `d3.json` and append the resulting paths to an SVG container.
