Time Zones
This visualization displays a world map colored by time zone, derived from a TopoJSON file of time zone boundaries sourced from the timezone-boundary-builder project. The map is rendered using `d3.geoPath` on a projected topology, with each zone’s color corresponding to its raw UTC offset (e.g., GMT-12:00 to GMT+12:00), parsed from a CSV table containing time zone IDs, raw offsets, and DST minutes. The choropleth encoding lets viewers quickly distinguish regional clock offsets, while the underlying polygons are simplified via Mapshaper for efficient display in the browser.
