D3.js geoMollweide() Function

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 equal-area, pseudo cylindrical Mollweide projection.

Syntax:

d3.geoMollweide()

Parameters: This method does not accept any parameters.

Returns: This method creates the Mollweide projection from given json data.

Example #1: The following example draws Mollweide projection of world with center at (0, 0) and 0 rotation.

            // Mollweide projection
            // Center(0, 0) with 0 rotation
            var gfg = d3
                .geoMollweide()
                .scale(width / 1.5 / Math.PI)
                .rotate([0, 0])
                .center([0, 0])
                .translate([width / 2, height / 2]);
  
            // Loading the json data
            // Used json file stored at
            /datageojson/master/world.json*/
            d3.json(
              function (data) {
                // Drawing the map
                svg.append("g").selectAll(
                  "path").data(data.features).enter().append(
                  "path").attr("fill", "SaddleBrown").attr(
                  "d", d3.geoPath().projection(gfg)).style(
                  "stroke", "#ffff");
            });
        </script>
    </body>
</html>


Output:

Mollweide projection of World with no rotation and centered at (0, 0)

Example #2: The following example draws Mollweide projection of world after altering the center and rotation.

                .geoMollweide()
                .scale(width / 1.7 / Math.PI)
                .rotate([90, 0])
                .center([0, 20])

Output :
