This visualization displays a QGIS project containing world map layers—countries, states, provinces, and disputed borders—from the bundled `world_map.gpkg` GeoPackage, alongside JSON-derived point layers for contributors, hackfests, and user groups. Using the QGIS Python API, the script loads each vector layer via `QgsVectorLayer` with OGR drivers, adds them to the project through `QgsProject.instance().addMapLayers`, and enables a retro canvas style by setting `iface.mapCanvas().setProperty("retro", True)` before refreshing. The example demonstrates procedural map composition from built-in geodata files.

This example shows a world map rendered from a TopoJSON file using a Mercator projection, with pan and zoom enabled for interactive exploration. The map is drawn as SVG paths via `d3.geoPath` and a `d3.geoMercator` projection, centered and scaled to display global geography. A `d3.zoom` handler updates the map’s transform and re-projects paths on each interaction. The code includes commented-out attempts to plot city coordinates from a CSV, but the visible implementation focuses solely on the country boundaries from the `world-110m2.json` data source.

This map visualizes Burkina Faso’s administrative polygons, likely distinguishing regions by color or stroke. It uses D3.js to load and render the GeoJSON features with `d3.geoPath` and a geographic projection, displaying the country’s boundaries as vector shapes. The code references a two-polygon dataset and appears suited for choropleth or boundary mapping, with the rendering handled directly via SVG or Canvas.

This example visualizes tree inventory data from a CSV file, mapping each tree’s location as a point based on longitude and latitude coordinates. The data includes attributes such as species, planting date, height, and diameter. The implementation uses a VRT file to define the CSV’s geometry, with the QGIS XML configuration specifying the point layer’s symbology and coordinate system. The visualization is rendered through QGIS, leveraging the OGR provider to read the spatial data and display it as a map layer with a single symbol renderer.

This visualization shows the overlap of Sentinel-2 land cover download scenes across Western Europe, displayed over an OpenStreetMap base layer. The map uses a QGIS project file to pull data from an ArcGIS FeatureServer, filtering for the LULC 2020 dataset. The rendering is handled via the project’s canvas, which displays the geographic extent in WGS 84 coordinates, allowing viewers to see the spatial distribution of available satellite imagery download areas.

This example demonstrates how to load and manage LiDAR point cloud layers in QGIS using Python, showing both automatic and manual index generation for LAZ files from the French IGN LIDAR HD dataset. It uses the QgsPointCloudLayer class with the PDAL provider, QgsProject for layer management, and QgsPointCloudDataProvider to check indexing state, generate indexes, and retrieve polygon bounds, point counts, and renderer information. The script also prints coordinate reference system details and renderer type, illustrating direct provider-level access to point cloud metadata.

This example renders a world map from a TopoJSON file containing land polygons. The visualization uses D3.js to project and draw the geographic data onto a canvas, with the `d3.geoPath` function handling the polygon outlines. The code loads the `Land.json` file, which stores the geometry in TopoJSON format, and prepares it for display using D3’s geographic projection utilities. The map shows the basic landmasses of the world as simple filled shapes, with no additional thematic data or interaction applied to the polygons.

Larrivée

This example displays a world map using the Larrivée projection, a pseudocylindrical equal-area projection that resembles a flattened globe with curved meridians. Landmasses appear as dark shapes with white country boundaries, set against a graticule and a spherical outline. The map is rendered with SVG via D3’s `d3.geo.path` and the `d3.geo.larrivee` projection from the geo.projection plugin, while TopoJSON data (`world-50m.json`) supplies the land and country meshes. The visualization includes a graticule layer and a white-filled sphere background.

This example shows how spatial relationships between geographic features can be explored through an interactive map. It uses D3.js with `d3.geoPath` to render country outlines from a GeoJSON source, while a force-directed layout via `d3.forceSimulation` positions non-overlapping markers for data points. The visualization computes marker placement on a Canvas, reading pixel colors with `getImageData` to detect land versus water and ensure points remain on landmasses. Hover interactions trigger a tooltip and highlight neighboring regions, with smooth transitions handled by `transition.attrTween`. The data originates from a public GitHub gist and is embedded in a Power BI report, where the canvas is updated on each zoom or pan event.
