This example visualizes the world using the Chamberlin trimetric projection, a custom map projection defined with `d3.geo.chamberlin` from the extended geographic projections plugin. The map displays land masses and country boundaries in black and white, clipped to a graticule outline. The code builds the SVG output with D3.js version 3, using `d3.geo.path` for geometry and `topojson` to convert a GeoJSON world dataset from a gist into features and meshes for rendering.

AI-generated description

Jason Davies’ implementation of the Chamberlin trimetric projection is available as d3.geo.chamberlin in the extended geographic projections plugin.

ChamberlinAfrica inverse projection

This example demonstrates the ChamberlinAfrica projection and its inverse, which converts projected coordinates back to geographic latitude and longitude. It overlays a graticule, land masses, and boundary lines on a sphere rendered via SVG. The inverse is computed using the Newton-Raphson method on cartesian coordinates when no native `invert` function exists. The code uses d3.geoChamberlinAfrica, d3.geoPath, d3.geoGraticule, and TopoJSON data, with a color-coded grid validating the inversion accuracy and an interactive marker showing mouse position inversion.

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.

Gnomonic

This example shows the world map projected using the gnomonic projection, where great circles appear as straight lines and distortion increases toward the edges. The map is clipped at a 90-degree angle, displaying landmasses in dark gray with white country boundaries over a graticule grid. The visualization uses D3 v3’s `d3.geo.gnomonic` projection and `d3.geo.path` to render SVG paths from TopoJSON world data, with the graticule drawn via `d3.geo.graticule`. The code sets projection scale, translation, and precision before loading the `world-50m.json` file.

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.

D3 World Map

This example displays a black-and-white world map using the Mercator projection, with country boundaries outlined in white. The map is rendered as an SVG using the D3.js v3 library, specifically employing `d3.geo.mercator()`, `d3.geo.path()`, and `d3.json()` to load and parse a `world-110m2.json` TopoJSON file. Country geometries are extracted from the TopoJSON topology via `topojson.object()` and drawn as SVG `path` elements. The visualization appears on a simple HTML page with a custom CSS rule defining the stroke and fill for each path.

Tetrahedric Gnomonic Projection

This example visualizes the world using a tetrahedric gnomonic projection, a polyhedral map projection that unfolds the globe onto four triangular faces. The map renders landmasses and graticules on a Canvas via `d3.geoPath`, with the projection implemented through a custom `d3.geoTetrahedralLee` function that uses `d3.geoPolyhedral` and per-face gnomonic projections. The code includes a dashed inner triangle and outlined sphere boundary, and loads world data from the World Atlas TopoJSON dataset. It also spins the projection interactively using D3's rotation APIs and renders at devicePixelRatio for sharp output.

Rectangular Polyconic

This example demonstrates the rectangular polyconic map projection, a pseudoconical projection that renders the world with curved meridians and straight parallels. The map shows landmasses in dark gray with country boundaries in white, overlaid on a graticule grid and enclosed by a spherical outline. Built with D3.js v3, it uses `d3.geo.rectangularPolyconic` from the extended projections plugin, `d3.geo.path` for geographic rendering, and `d3.geo.graticule` to generate the grid. World geometry comes from a TopoJSON file loaded via `topojson.feature` and `topojson.mesh`.
