This example displays Alaska using the EPSG:3338 Alaska Albers equal-area projection, rendered with SVG paths for land and county boundaries over a graticule grid. It filters Alaska state and county geometries from a TopoJSON file of U.S. data, styling land in dark gray and boundaries in white. The code uses `d3.geo.conicEqualArea` with specified rotation, center, and parallels, along with `d3.geo.path`, `d3.geo.graticule`, and `topojson.feature`/`topojson.mesh` to draw the shapes.

AI-generated description

The Alaska Albers projection. This equal-area projection is also used by the d3.geo.albersUsa composition projection, downsized and inset.

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.

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 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.

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.

Albers Projection

This example displays a map of the United States using the Albers projection, with each state drawn as a filled gray polygon with white outlines. The visualization loads GeoJSON data from a remote `us.json` file via `d3.json`, which is then converted into SVG paths using `topojson.feature` and `d3.geo.path()`. The map is rendered as a single SVG path element within a 960×500 canvas, demonstrating a basic static choropleth without additional interactivity or styling layers.

GeoAlbers with Territories

This example displays US state boundaries using the geo-albers-usa-territories projection, which extends the standard Albers projection to include Alaska, Hawaii, and US territories. The map renders state outlines and interior borders as SVG paths, with land filled in teal and boundaries in a lighter contrasting stroke. The code loads US Atlas TopoJSON data and converts it to GeoJSON using `topojson.feature` and `topojson.mesh`. It builds the visualization with React components, `d3.geoPath` for projection and path generation, and `d3.geoGraticule` for the background graticules.

Albers Siberia

This example displays a map of Russia using the Albers Siberia projection, a customized conic equal-area projection that re-centers and rotates the standard Albers projection to better represent the country’s vast territory. The map renders in SVG, with the geographic data loaded from a local TopoJSON file. The code leverages D3 v3 APIs, including `d3.geo.albers()`, `d3.geo.path()`, and `topojson.feature()` to project and draw the polygon geometries.

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.
