A world map rendered as an orthographic projection shows Voronoi cells computed from airport locations, with each cell colored distinctly and linked by dashed lines between neighboring airports. The visualization recreates Jason Davies’s classic demo using d3.geoVoronoi to generate the polygons and links from a CSV of airport coordinates, while d3.geoPath projects the spherical geometry. Country outlines from a TopoJSON file appear beneath the cells, and the sphere is shaded with a radial gradient for a three-dimensional effect.

AI-generated description

This is a recreation, with d3-geo-voronoi, of Jason Davies’s magistral demo World Airports Voronoi.

U.S. Airports Voronoi

A Voronoi diagram partitions the United States into red cells, each containing the nearest airport from a dataset of 1,200+ airports. The map first draws land and state boundaries using TopoJSON and `d3.geoPath`, then projects airport coordinates with a `d3.geoAlbers` projection. Finally, `d3.voronoi` computes and renders the cell polygons, clipped to the SVG canvas, with airports shown as small points.

Voronoi Arc Map

A Voronoi arc map displays flight routes between US airports overlaid on a geographic map. Each airport is assigned a Voronoi cell, and hovering over a cell highlights all flight arcs originating from that airport in red. The visualization uses D3 v4 with `d3.geoPath`, `d3.geoAlbers`, and `d3.voronoi`, rendering SVG elements. Flight data comes from airports.csv and flights.csv, with the map drawn from TopoJSON data.

An interactive D3 map

This interactive map uses d3.geoPath and a geoAlbers projection to render a world map with animated circles marking airports. The visualization connects airports via arcs based on route data from routes.csv, and uses a Voronoi diagram overlay to partition the map. The animation uses d3 transitions with easing, while data is loaded from the d3.json, d3.csv, and world-atlas package.

Country map + voronoi.find

This visualization uses a Voronoi diagram to divide a world map into regions, each centered on a country's centroid, with the polygons dynamically re-calculated to highlight the spatial relationships between countries. The map is rendered as an SVG using D3 v4, and the Voronoi overlay is generated from the centroids of the countries. The original country shapes are filled in white with black strokes, while the Voronoi cells are drawn as semi-transparent overlays, and the graticule adds a subtle geographic grid. The animation likely involves transitioning between the original country boundaries and the Voronoi cells, or animating the centroids themselves.

An interactive D3 map

An interactive D3 map visualizes U.S. airports and their flight routes, with arcs connecting a central hub to various destinations and animated circles marking each airport’s location. The map also displays country boundaries and a Voronoi diagram around airport cells, with hover tooltips revealing flight counts. Using d3.geoPath and geoAlbers projection, it renders SVG shapes from TopoJSON world data and CSV files, with circles animating via transition delays and ease functions.

geoVoronoi x() and y() accessors

A rotating globe displays a Voronoi diagram of world capital cities, with each polygon filled by a categorical color from the `d3.schemeCategory10` palette. The map is rendered using `d3.geoVoronoi` and `d3.geoOrthographic`, with `d3.geoPath` projecting the spherical polygons onto an SVG canvas. Capital city coordinates are loaded from a CSV file, and the `x()` and `y()` accessors are used to map longitude and latitude while adding a small random epsilon.

geoVoronoi mesh()

This example shows a dynamic Voronoi diagram on a globe, with a mesh of cell boundaries overlaid on a rotating orthographic projection. It generates 100 random geographic points, computes their spherical Voronoi tessellation using the `d3.geoVoronoi` plugin, and renders the resulting polygons and sites as SVG paths via `d3.geoPath`. The animation uses `d3.interval` to rotate the projection over time, continuously redrawing all paths. The code relies on D3 v4, the d3-delaunay library, and custom geo-Voronoi logic, with a light beige sphere and dark gray mesh for contrast.

geoVoronoi triangles()

This example visualizes a spherical Voronoi triangulation of 100 random points, with each triangle filled by a random hue and the original sites marked as white dots. The orthographic projection rotates continuously to reveal the globe’s surface. Built with d3-geo-voronoi and d3-delaunay, it uses d3.geoPath and d3.geoOrthographic to render SVG paths, while d3.interval drives the animation by updating the projection’s rotation every 50 milliseconds. The points are generated as a GeoJSON FeatureCollection with coordinates spanning longitude 0–360 and latitude from -90 to 90.
