D3.js geoCylindricalStereographic() 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 CylindricalEqualArea() function in d3.js is used to draw the cylindrical stereographic projection. 

Syntax:

d3.geoCylindricalStereographic()

Parameters: This method does not accept any parameters.

Return Value: This method creates CylindricalStereographic projection from given json data.

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

        // CylindricalStereographic projection
        // Center(0, 0) with 0 rotation
        var gfg = d3.geoCylindricalStereographic()
            .scale(width / 2.0 / 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("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/"
            + "janasayantan/datageojson/master/world.json",
            function (data) {
  
                // Drawing the map
                svg.append("g")
                    .selectAll("path")
                    .data(data.features)
                    .enter().append("path")
                    .attr("fill", "Black")
                    .attr("d", d3.geoPath()
                        .projection(gfg)
                    )
                    .style("stroke", "#ffff")
            })
    </script>
</body>
  
</html>


Output:

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

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

        var gfg = d3.geoCylindricalStereographic()
            .scale(width / 2.0 / Math.PI)
            .rotate([45, 0])
            .center([0, 20])
            .translate([width / 2, height / 2])

                    .attr("d", d3.geoPath()
                        .projection(gfg)

Output:

CylindricalEqualArea projection with  45 degree rotation w.r.t  Y axis  and centered at (0, 20)
