An interactive orthographic globe renders world countries as SVG paths using D3 v3’s `d3.geo.orthographic` projection and `d3.geo.path`, with land polygons from a TopoJSON `world-110m.json` file. Users can drag to rotate the globe via `d3.behavior.drag`, which adjusts the projection’s rotation, while hovering over a country displays its name in a tooltip. A dropdown menu, populated from a TSV file of country names, lets users select a country; the globe then smoothly animates to center on that country’s centroid using a `d3.transition` with an interpolated rotation, and the selected country is highlighted in green.

Globe to Map transition

A world map transitions between an orthographic globe and an equirectangular projection. The globe rotates via a D3 drag behavior, and clicking a country triggers a path-by-path transition to the flat map, while double-clicking returns to the globe. The visualization uses D3 v3 with `d3.geo.orthographic`, `d3.geo.equirectangular`, and `d3.geo.path` to render TopoJSON country boundaries as SVG paths, with CSS-based tooltips and hover highlighting.

Untitled

This example shows an interactive orthographic globe built with D3.js and TopoJSON, rendered as an SVG with animated transitions. Users click a country to rotate the globe and zoom toward that region, using `d3.geo.orthographic`, `d3.geo.path`, and `d3.geo.centroid` for positioning. A water sphere and land paths are drawn from `world.json`, with click handling triggering `transition.attrTween` to interpolate rotation and scale. The `active` class highlights selected countries in orange, and clicking the background resets the view to its original scale.

D3 map drag demo

This demo displays an interactive orthographic globe where users can click and drag to rotate the Earth, with country boundaries rendered as SVG paths and tooltips revealing country names on hover. The sphere, graticule, and countries are drawn using d3.geoPath with a d3.geoOrthographic projection, while rotation is handled manually through d3.drag events that adjust the projection’s rotate values. Country geometries come from the world-atlas TopoJSON dataset (50m resolution) paired with a TSV file for name lookups, and the visualization also supports d3.zoom for additional transformations.

Rotating Globe

A rotating orthographic globe displays country-level data values, with landmasses rendered in sky blue and hover states highlighted in dark blue. Using D3 v5 with `d3.geoOrthographic` and `d3.geoPath`, the projection rotates continuously via `d3.timer`, while a graticule overlays the sphere. The visualization loads world topology from TopoJSON and country names from a CSV file, with zoom support via `d3.zoom`.

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 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.

Let's make a map!

This example renders an interactive orthographic globe using D3’s `geoOrthographic` and `geoPath` projections. It loads world country boundaries from TopoJSON and country names from a TSV file, then displays each country as a light-green SVG path that turns red on hover, with tooltips showing the country name. The globe itself is drawn as a dark-blue sphere, and all interactions rely on D3’s data join and selection methods.

World Tour

This visualization presents an animated orthographic globe that cycles through the world’s countries, highlighting each one in red while rotating to center it on screen. The display shows the country name above the globe as it transitions between nations. The code uses D3.js v3 for transitions and tweens, TopoJSON for world map data, and a Canvas 2D context for rendering. A queue loads GeoJSON topology and country name mappings, while d3.geo.path draws land, borders, and the globe sphere with dynamic rotation.
