D3.js geoAiry() Function

The geoAiry() function in d3.js is used to draw the Airy’s minimum-error azimuthal projection from the given geojson data. This is a solution to the shape and area errors caused due to the minimization in a map projection.

Syntax:

d3.geoAiry()

Parameters: This method does not accept any parameters.

Return Value: This method returns the Airy’s minimum-error azimuthal projection.

Example 1: The following example draws the Airy’s minimum-error azimuthal projection of Asia.
