This example demonstrates an Albers Equal Area Conic projection implemented in JavaScript for the Protovis visualization library. The code defines a projection function that transforms geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) into planar x and y coordinates, along with an inverse function for converting planar coordinates back to geographic coordinates. It includes specific parameters for centering the contiguous United States, using default values for the origin and standard parallels. The implementation relies on Protovis's `pv.radians` and `pv.degrees` utilities for angular conversions.

Albers Equal-Area Conic

The visualization demonstrates the Albers equal-area conic projection, a standard map projection commonly used for the United States. It displays the country’s landmass, county boundaries, and state lines over a graticule grid, with a dark land fill contrasted against white administrative borders. The code uses d3.geo.albers with custom rotation, center, parallels, and scale parameters, and renders geographic features via d3.geo.path. TopoJSON data from a remote source is parsed with topojson.feature and topojson.mesh to draw the land and boundary layers, while d3.geo.graticule generates the grid.

US Map Projection

This example displays a map of the United States using an Albers equal-area conic projection, with the landmass filled in light gray and state boundaries in white. It uses D3.js (d3.v7) with the `d3.geoAlbersUsa()` projection and the `d3.geoPath()` function to render the geographic shapes as SVG paths. The map is drawn within a fixed 960×600 viewport, and the underlying geographic data is handled by the TopoJSON library.

Albers without Resampling

This example demonstrates the Albers equal-area conic projection applied to a world map, comparing land and boundary rendering with and without coordinate resampling. The map displays graticules, country boundaries, and landmasses in black and white, using Geographic Information System data from a TopoJSON file of 110m resolution. The code uses d3.geo.conicEqualArea and d3.geo.path, with the projection’s precision set to zero before drawing the land and country meshes via topojson.feature and topojson.mesh. A graticule layer and a sphere outline are added using d3.geo.graticule, all rendered as SVG elements.

AlbersUSA inverse proj parameters

This block demonstrates the inverse projection parameters of a modified AlbersUSA projection that includes Puerto Rico, answering a D3.js issue. It renders a U.S. map with red and green guide lines and rectangles marking the boundaries of each sub-projection’s clip extents within the composite projection’s coordinate space. The code uses `d3.geoAlbers`, `d3.geoConicEqualArea`, `d3.geoPath`, and `d3.geoGraticule` with SVG output. It overlays graticules, a sphere outline, and a red center point, while the map mesh comes from TopoJSON data.

Albers Projection

This example displays a map of the United States using the Albers projection, a conic equal-area projection commonly used for national-scale choropleths. It renders the geographic boundaries as gray SVG paths with white strokes, loaded from a local `states.json` GeoJSON file. The code uses the D3 v3 library, specifically the `d3.geo.albers()` projection and `d3.geo.path()` to project and draw the feature collection.

Albers with Resampling

This example shows a world map in an Albers equal-area conic projection, with landmasses drawn in dark gray, country boundaries in white, and a graticule overlaid on a sphere outline. It uses d3.geo.conicEqualArea with a precision setting for resampled geometries, and d3.geo.path to render the projected features. Graticule lines are generated via d3.geo.graticule, while the land and boundary data come from a TopoJSON file fetched with d3.json, processed through topojson.feature and topojson.mesh. The SVG output uses class-based styling for strokes and fills.

AlbersUSA + PR

This example presents a modified Albers USA map projection that includes Puerto Rico, rendered as an SVG using D3.js v3 and TopoJSON. The code defines a custom `albersUsaPr()` function, which composes four separate conic equal-area projections for the lower 48 states, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, each with its own translation and clipping. The map displays graticules and a sphere outline via `d3.geo.graticule()` and `d3.geo.path()`, and it loads US state boundaries from an external JSON file. Interactive mouse movement logs the projected coordinates using `projection.invert()`.

Albers USA

This example illustrates the Albers USA composite projection by dividing the map into four colored regions, each labeled with the conditional rule that determines which part of the United States it represents. It overlays a world map and graticule to show the geographic context. The visualization uses D3 v3 with `d3.geo.mercator`, `d3.geo.mercator`, `d3.geo.path`, and `d3.geo.graticule` to project and render SVG paths, while the division rectangles and lines are drawn manually to mark the Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and lower-48 regions. World land data comes from a remote TopoJSON file.
