D3.js geoGringorten() 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 geoGringorten() function in d3.js is used to draw the Gringorten square equal-area projection, rearranged to give each hemisphere an entire square.

Syntax:

d3.geoGringorten()

Parameters: This method does not accept any parameters.

Return Value: This method creates  Gringorten square equal-area projection. from given json data.

Example 1: The following example makes  Gringorten  projection of world with center at (0, 0) and no rotation.

        var myURL = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/"
            + "janasayantan/datageojson/master/world.json"
  
        d3.json(myURL, function (data) {
  
            // Draw the map
            svg.append("g")
                .selectAll("path")
                .data(data.features)
                .enter().append("path")
                .attr("fill", "SlateBlue")
                .attr("d", d3.geoPath()
                    .projection(gfg)
                )
                .style("stroke", "#ffff")
        })
    </script>
</body>
  
</html>


Output:

Gringorten projection with no rotation and centered at (0, 0)

Example 2: The following example makes Gringorten projection of world after customizing the center and rotation.
