An animated point map presents the migration paths of Brant Geese over a year, with each bird plotted as a colored circle on an orthographic globe. The visualization reveals individual movement patterns and the timing of migration against a graticule and land boundaries. Using D3.js v3, it loads TopoJSON data for both the world map and individual geese locations, applies an orthographic projection, and animates the circles with a time-scaled transition. The circle's radius and color encode the bird's ID, while a timestamp displays the corresponding date during playback. The dataset originates from Movebank tracking studies.

Gist 5e36771400038b0c861c6617c622c5f7

A map of Canada visualizes interprovincial migration flows for 2017 Q2 and Q3, using animated, arrow-headed routes and scaled circles to show the net movement of people between provinces and internationally. Provincial boundaries are rendered from a TopoJSON file via `d3.geoPath` with a conic conformal projection, while migration data from a CSV file drives the visualization. A dropdown menu lets users switch between time periods, and D3 v4 handles the SVG rendering and animations.

From Hong Kong to Brussels

An animated globe highlights the journey from Hong Kong to Belgium, tracing a flight path between the two countries. It uses D3.js v4 and topojson to render land masses, graticule grids, and political borders on a canvas. The animation rotates the globe to a custom viewpoint and then simulates the plane’s travel along a great-circle arc, after which users can drag to spin the view, using `d3.geoOrthographic`, `d3.geoPath`, and a custom great-arc interpolator.

Interactive Migrant Map

A world map with semi-transparent circles plots locations of missing migrants, sized by the square-root-scaled count of dead and missing individuals. A time-series histogram below aggregates the same data by month, using `d3.bin` and `d3.timeMonths` to compute totals. React composes the two views, while `d3.geoNaturalEarth1` and `d3.geoPath` render the graticule, land, and country interiors from TopoJSON. Both charts are drawn as SVG, with circles and bars colored in teal against a light gray basemap.

Concentric Circles Emanating

An animated map shows concentric red circles emanating from a glowing dot over the Indian Ocean. A base layer renders graticule lines and world landmasses using `d3.geo.path` with a Mercator projection. The animation repeatedly appends a circle at the projected dot position, then uses `transition()` with linear easing to expand its radius while fading its stroke opacity over six seconds. The repeating action is driven by `setInterval`, while land data comes from a remote TopoJSON file.

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.

Visualizing transformed data

This example visualizes geographic survey data by animating circles onto a world map, with each dot representing a location and colored by its country. It demonstrates a data pipeline that fetches SPARQL query results, cleans and nests the data per country, then uses a D3 animation to grow the circles. The visualization uses `d3.geoPath` and `geoNaturalEarth1` projection for the map, while `d3.nest()` and `transition.attrTween` handle data transformation and the animated reveal.

Rotating globe

This rotating globe visualization uses an orthographic projection to display world country polygons, a graticule grid, and three labeled city points (Munich, San Antonio, and Melbourne). The globe continuously rotates via a d3.timer, updating the country paths, graticule lines, city markers, and labels each frame. Labels are hidden when their corresponding city is on the far side of the globe, determined by the great-arc distance from the map’s center. The example uses d3.v3 with SVG and animation, loading TopoJSON world data and styling countries, graticules, and points with distinct colors.

An interactive D3 map

An interactive D3 map visualizes U.S. airports and their flight routes, with arcs connecting a central hub to various destinations and animated circles marking each airport’s location. The map also displays country boundaries and a Voronoi diagram around airport cells, with hover tooltips revealing flight counts. Using d3.geoPath and geoAlbers projection, it renders SVG shapes from TopoJSON world data and CSV files, with circles animating via transition delays and ease functions.
