An animated orthographic projection of Earth rotates continuously, with its scale oscillating as the globe spins. The map and graticule paths update every 10 milliseconds using `d3.geoOrthographic` and `d3.geoPath`, while a click toggles the rotation. The land polygons come from a Natural Earth GeoJSON file, and the SVG rendering includes a clickable text prompt to start or stop the animation.

Rotating Globe

A rotating orthographic globe displays world landmasses and graticule meridians in SVG. The Earth spins continuously via a d3.timer that updates the d3.geoOrthographic projection’s rotation, with d3.geoPath rendering the geographic features from TopoJSON world-atlas data. A hover effect darkens countries, while a static color legend lists continents. Zoom and pan are supported through d3.zoom, with the globe group transformed on user input.

Rotating Orthographic

A rotating orthographic projection of the world, rendered via canvas animation, shows the globe slowly spinning as landmasses and country borders move across the sphere. The code uses `d3.geo.orthographic` with a clip angle to define the projection, `d3.geo.path` to draw land, borders, and graticule, and `d3.json` to load world-110m GeoJSON data. A timer updates the rotation angle over time, clearing and redrawing the canvas each frame.

Rotating Orthographic

This rotating orthographic projection displays a graticule and the equator as animated SVG paths on a sphere. It uses the d3.geo.orthographic projection with a rotating view, updating the projection’s rotation based on a timed loop. The sphere, graticule, and equator are drawn as SVG paths via d3.geo.path, with the animation driven by d3.timer incrementally adjusting the rotation angles.

Earth animation

An orthographic Earth projection rotates continuously over a starfield background rendered on canvas. The animation uses D3 v3 with `d3.geo.orthographic`, `d3.geo.path`, and a `d3.transition` tween to interpolate the projection’s rotation, clearing and redrawing each frame. Landmasses and country borders come from TopoJSON world-110m data, and the background image is loaded via a queue and drawn with Canvas `drawImage`.

Rotating Globe

A rotating orthographic globe displays Earth's landmasses in sky blue against a black background, with graticule lines and interactive country names on hover. The rotation is driven by a `d3.timer` that continuously updates the projection's rotation angles, while `d3.geoOrthographic` and `d3.geoPath` render the sphere and features. World map data comes from the `world-atlas` package, loaded via `d3.json` and `d3.tsv`, with country names built into a lookup table. The visualization uses SVG for rendering within a `d3` framework.

Rotating Globe

This example shows a continuously rotating orthographic globe, with country outlines and a graticule drawn over a dark ocean. The globe is interactive, allowing users to pan and zoom via a d3.zoom handler that applies a transform to the SVG group. The rotation is driven by a d3.timer that updates the d3.geoOrthographic projection’s rotation, while d3.geoPath renders the sphere, graticule, and land masses from World Atlas TopoJSON and TSV data. The visualization uses SVG with hover highlights on countries.

Rotating Globe

A rotating orthographic globe displays country boundaries and graticules, with land masses that change color on hover. The visualization uses D3 v5’s `geoOrthographic`, `geoPath`, and `geoGraticule` with a timer to continuously adjust the projection rotation. World map data comes from the World Atlas TopoJSON, while country names are loaded from a TSV file. Zooming is enabled via D3’s `zoom` behavior, and all rendering uses SVG paths.

Rotating Orthographic

An orthographic projection of the world rotates continuously, showing a dark outline of the continents against a circular boundary. The rotation is driven by a timer that recalculates the projection’s center based on elapsed time and a fixed velocity. The example uses `d3.geo.orthographic()`, `d3.geo.path()`, and `topojson.feature()` to render the land from a `world-110m.json` dataset as SVG. The code also applies a 90-degree clip angle and updates the path’s `d` attribute on each tick, with styling from a CSS circle element.
