The example shows a single, mis-drawn polygon meant to represent the island of Bermuda, but whose coordinates form a tiny, squashed shape that does not match the real island's geography. The visualization highlights a known error in the GeoJSON data, where the polygon’s vertices are placed too close together. Using d3.forceSimulation, the code animates the polygon’s points, pulling them apart with simulated forces to reveal the incorrect layout. The rendering relies on d3.geoPath to draw the polygon on a Canvas, while the underlying GeoJSON source (from a GitHub gist) contains the faulty coordinates. The result is a clear, visual demonstration of a data bug.

This example creates a minimal map visualization using a single GeoJSON Point feature representing the Dinagat Islands, positioned at coordinates (-86.8098, 36.1442). It first renders the point’s geometry using `d3.geoPath` and a standard geographic projection, then applies `d3.forceSimulation` to animate the point’s position, demonstrating how a fixed geographic coordinate can be displaced by a force-directed layout. The code uses both Canvas and SVG elements, with the simulation updating the point’s screen location each tick while the underlying projection remains static.

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.

winding problem

This visualization highlights the winding problem in GeoJSON polygons by coloring affected areas yellow, while correctly oriented polygons appear light blue. It uses d3.json to load Istanbul district boundaries and d3.geoPath with a Mercator projection to render them as SVG paths. The code checks each feature with d3.geoArea, reversing coordinate arrays for polygons exceeding 2π area, marking those features with an error property. The map shows these inverse-wound regions clearly, demonstrating how D3’s geo algorithms handle polygon orientation.

This example visualizes a single blue polygon with a semi-transparent fill and a bold outline, rendered from GeoJSON coordinate data. The visualization relies on a custom rendering approach, likely using d3.geoPath to project and draw the polygon onto an SVG or canvas element. The code applies explicit styling properties—fill, fill-opacity, and stroke-width—directly from the feature’s style object, demonstrating how geographic features can be styled programmatically. The rendering is static, with no animation or interaction, and the polygon’s vertices span longitude and latitude values to illustrate basic map-projection output.

This example shows how to render a spatial distribution of data points on a map using D3.js. It uses `d3.geoPath` to draw geographic boundaries and `d3.forceSimulation` to position overlapping points, while Canvas `getImageData` is used to read pixel data for collision detection. The visualization reads from a PGP-encrypted text file, suggesting the underlying dataset is not directly accessible. The code relies on D3’s selection and transition APIs to animate point movements, and it appears to use a projection to convert latitude and longitude coordinates into screen positions. The result is an interactive scatterplot overlaid on a map, with points dynamically adjusting to avoid overlap.

This visualization shows a set of irregular, hand-drawn appearing polygon clusters scattered across a geographic area. The data consists of two MultiPolygon GeoJSON files—one with two separate polygons, the other with five—likely representing distinct regions or administrative areas, though no base map is visible. The visualization uses minimal styling so that the raw polygon outlines stand alone, emphasizing the shapes, boundaries, and spatial relationships between the clusters. The focus is on the geometry itself, with no additional layers or annotations provided in the source files.

Dynamic Simplification III

This example demonstrates dynamic simplification of a filled polygon representing US land masses, where the level of detail adapts during zooming. The effect is subtle because the polygon fill hides most topological changes. Animated transitions repeatedly zoom between a close-up of the Chesapeake Bay and a full view of the country. The visualization uses d3.geo.path with a custom d3.geo.transform to filter points based on an area threshold, rendered on a Canvas via the context API, with d3.behavior.zoom and TopoJSON data.

This example visualizes a single geographic polygon representing an outline near Denver, Colorado, derived from a GeoJSON FeatureCollection. It shows the shape’s boundary as a closed loop, with coordinates defining a series of vertices that trace an irregular, elongated region. The rendering relies on a mapping library that processes GeoJSON data, likely using `d3.geoPath` to project the polygon onto a canvas or SVG, while the precise coordinate pairs (longitude and latitude) suggest the use of a geographic projection. The source gist provides the raw GeoJSON, and the visualization emphasizes the polygon’s spatial extent without additional layers or interaction.
