Project to Bounding Box
This example demonstrates how to center a map on a specific geographic feature and scale it to fill the viewport. It isolates Ohio from a GeoJSON dataset of US states, calculates the feature's bounding box, and applies Albers projection with custom scaling and translation to fit the map. The visualization renders the full US states in gray, state boundary mesh lines in white, and highlights the selected Ohio outline in dark gray. The code uses d3.geo.albers, d3.geo.path, and the topojson library for feature extraction and mesh generation.
