D3.js is a JavaScript library for producing dynamic, interactive data visualizations in web browsers. It makes use of Scalable Vector Graphics, HTML5, and Cascading Style Sheets standards. The geoMercator() function in d3.js is used to draw The spherical Mercator projection.
Syntax:
d3.geoMercator()
Parameters: This method does not accept any parameters.
Returns: This method creates the Mercator projection from given json data.
Example #1: The following example draws Mercator projection of world with center at (0, 0) and 0 rotation.

Output:
Mercator  projection of World with no rotation and centered at (0, 0)
Example #2: The following example draws Mercator projection of world after altering the center and rotation.

Output:
Mercator projection with 90 degree rotation w.r.t  Y axis  and centered at (20, 20)
