This example demonstrates how to render geographic data to a Canvas element using d3.geoPath with node-canvas, producing a stroked mesh of United States county boundaries. The rasterize script loads US Atlas TopoJSON data, converts it to GeoJSON with topojson-client, and passes it through d3.geoPath’s context method to draw paths into a 960×600 canvas. It then writes the resulting bitmap to a PNG file, showing server-side vector-to-raster conversion without a browser.

d3.geoPath + Canvas

This example displays a map of the United States drawn entirely on a Canvas element. It shows how D3’s `d3.geoPath` can render geographic data into a native Canvas context rather than an SVG, with the map’s geometry provided by the `us-atlas` dataset. The code uses `d3.json` to load the TopoJSON file and `topojson.mesh` to convert it into renderable shapes. The resulting path is stroked onto the canvas via the `context` set on `d3.geoPath`, demonstrating a performant alternative to SVG for large spatial datasets.

d3.geoPath + Canvas

This example renders the U.S. state boundaries from the `us-atlas` TopoJSON file onto an HTML5 Canvas element. It uses `d3.geoPath` with a Canvas context to draw the map, demonstrating that this projection API works outside of SVG. The code fetches the geographic data from `10m.json`, converts it with `topojson.mesh`, and strokes the resulting paths with a single `beginPath` and `stroke` call. The approach eliminates SVG overhead by relying on Canvas rendering.

topojson.topology + topojson.mesh

This example demonstrates the Aitoff map projection of the United States, drawn on a Canvas element using D3.js. It renders the geographic boundaries as stroked and filled paths, created via `d3.geoPath` with the `d3.geoAitoff` projection. The code first reads a GeoJSON file containing the US shape, converts it to a topology using the `topojson.topology` function from the `unpkg.com/topojson` package, and then draws it with `topojson.mesh` from `d3js.org/topojson.v2`.

Let's make a US map with D3.js!

This example renders a map of the United States using state boundaries. The map is drawn as black paths with white strokes on an SVG canvas. The code loads GeoJSON state outlines from the `us-atlas` package, converts them into topological features with the `topojson` library, and projects them using `d3.geoAlbers` with `d3.geoPath` for rendering. The visualization demonstrates a basic choropleth-ready framework without additional data encoding.

Let's make a map US-counties with D3.js!

This example renders a choropleth-style map of all US counties as light green SVG paths with subtle black borders. It uses D3 v5’s `geoAlbersUsa` projection and `geoPath` generator to convert TopoJSON county boundaries from the `us-atlas` dataset into scalable vector graphics. The code loads the TopoJSON via `d3.json`, extracts features with `topojson.feature`, and binds them to SVG path elements, while styling is handled with CSS class selectors.

Let's make the US Map with D3.js!

This example displays a choropleth-style map of the United States with state boundaries rendered as SVG paths. It uses D3.js v5 to load US Atlas TopoJSON data, converts it to GeoJSON with the topojson library’s `feature` function, and projects it using `d3.geoAlbersUsa`. The `geoPath` generator draws each state as a separate path with a light green fill and subtle black strokes. A light blue sphere background is added first to contrast with the landmasses. The visualization intentionally omits labels or interactive features, focusing strictly on the geographic outlines.

Raster & Vector 4.0

This example shows an interactive map of the United States with OpenStreetMap raster tiles overlaid by a vector outline of US counties. It combines zooming and panning with a Mercator projection. The code uses D3 v4.0 alpha, the d3-tile library for tile loading, and d3.geoPath with TopoJSON to render county boundaries. As the user zooms, the vector path’s stroke-width adjusts to maintain a constant screen-space width, while the raster tiles dynamically load from OpenStreetMap servers.

U.S. TopoJSON

This example displays a layered map of the United States using county, state, and national boundaries. The map is rendered as SVG, with counties stroked in thin gray, states in thin black, and the nation in a thicker black outline. It loads TopoJSON data from the us-atlas package and uses the topojson-client library to compute and draw the geographic meshes and features. The visualization is built with d3.v4, using d3.json for data fetching and d3.geoPath for path generation.
