D3.js geoStereographic() Function

The JavaScript D3.js library provides interactive data visualizations for web page using HTML5, Scalable Vector Graphics, and Cascading Style Sheets.
The geoStereographic() function in d3.js is used to draw the stereographic projection.

Syntax:

d3.geoStereographic()

Parameters: This method does not accept any parameters.

Return Value: This method creates the Stereographic projection from given JSON data.

Example 1: The following example creates Stereographic projection of world with center at (0, 0) and without rotation.

        // Stereographic projection
        // Center(0, 0) with 0 rotation
        var gfg = d3
            .geoStereographic()
            .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

        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", "DarkSlateBlue")
                    .attr("d", d3.geoPath().projection(gfg))
                    .style("stroke", "#ffff");
            });
    </script>
</body>
  
</html>


Output:

Example 2: In following example we will create Stereographicprojection of world with center at (-10, 20) and rotating 30 degree with respect to Y axis.
