India Mercator
license: gpl-3.0
height: 700

Draw a map of India with D3.js, Topojson, and five simple functions:

  • centerZoom - Automatically centers and scales your map to its container, and returns your map's outer boundaries in case you want to draw them.
  • drawOuterBoundary - Uses the boundary returned from centerZoom to draw a boundary around your whole map.
  • drawPlaces - Draws place names, if your topojson has places.
  • drawSubunits - Draws subunits.
  • colorSubunits - Colors the subunits.

This map uses a Mercator projection, and the colors are generated from d3.schemeCategory20. For a tutorial on converting Geojson to Topojson and for finding the coordinates of major cities, see this tutorial.
