US states sequentially uncurl into smooth, straight-line paths before re-forming as polygons. An animated SVG path traces each state's boundary, which is computed from TopoJSON data and projected with `d3.geoAlbersUsa`. The animation interpolates the angle changes between line segments toward zero, scaling and re-centering each uncurled outline to fit the viewport before transitioning to the next state.

AI-generated description

Uncurls states by reducing the angle between line segments to 0.

Triangulation morphing #2

This animation morphs between U.S. state polygons using triangulation, cycling through all 48 contiguous states in a continuous sequence. It starts by showing a single state, then gradually subdivides it into many smaller polygons before merging them into the next state. The process uses the earcut library to triangulate polygons and TopoJSON for topology operations, while d3’s `transition.attrTween` and `interpolateString` handle the smooth path interpolation. Each state’s fill color shifts through a cool color palette during the transition.

US State Map

This example displays a static map of US states, with each state rendered as a gray path using an SVG. The code loads state boundary data from a TopoJSON file and converts it into GeoJSON features using the `feature` function from topojson. It then projects the geographic coordinates to screen space with the `geoAlbersUsa` projection and `geoPath` generator from D3, appending the resulting paths to the SVG. No additional data or interactivity is applied.

Untitled

This interactive map of the United States uses a D3.js geographic projection to display state boundaries, rendered as SVG paths from TopoJSON data. Clicking a state zooms in via a smooth `transition` that adjusts the group’s scale and translate attributes, while the clicked state is highlighted in orange. A click on the background resets the view, returning the map to its original scale and stroke width. The example relies on `d3.geo.albersUsa`, `d3.geo.path`, and TopoJSON’s `feature` and `mesh` methods.

Untitled

This example presents an interactive map of the United States using d3.geo.path with an Albers USA projection, rendering state boundaries as SVG paths. Clicking a state triggers a smooth zoom animation that scales and translates the map to center on the selected region, highlighting it in orange. The map is constructed from topojson.feature and include a mesh overlay for state borders. The zoom effect is achieved by transitioning the group element's transform attribute using d3.transition over 750 milliseconds.

Smoother polygon transitions

A state morphs into the next in an animated sequence, with the polygon smoothly transitioning between shapes while yellow and magenta dots mark corresponding vertices. The code uses D3.js and TopoJSON to load U.S. state boundaries, then adds evenly spaced points to equalize vertex counts and finds the optimal winding by minimizing squared distances between point pairs. SVG and D3 transitions animate both the path and circles as states cycle through a shuffled order.

Untitled

This example displays a map of the United States, including Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, using a custom composite projection defined in `albers-usa-pr.js`. The code builds on `d3.geoAlbers` and `d3.geoConicEqualArea` to create `d3.geoAlbersUsaPr`, which is then used with `d3.geoPath` to render state boundaries from TopoJSON data in `states.js`. SVG paths are generated for each state, filled gray with white strokes.

This visualization displays the geographic boundaries of US states, rendered as SVG paths from a local `us-states.json` GeoJSON file. It uses `d3.geo.albersUsa()` to set an Albers equal-area conic projection, `d3.geo.path()` to generate the path data for each state feature, and appends the resulting paths to a fixed 700x580 SVG canvas. The code loads the data via `d3.json()` and iterates over the GeoJSON features to draw each state shape, though it only maps the coordinates without additional styling or interactivity.

US State Boundaries

This example displays a static map of US state boundaries rendered as SVG paths, using React for component structure and D3’s `geoPath` and `geoIdentity` projection to draw the geographic features. The data comes from the `us-atlas` TopoJSON file `states-albers-10m.json`, converted to GeoJSON via TopoJSON’s `feature` method. State shapes are filled with a gray tone and outlined in teal, creating a clean reference view of the country’s administrative subdivisions.
