Thanks for the input.
I allow myself to ask the following question :
Lines 43 to 46 ==> is there a way to use dynamic height and width instead of hard-coded values ("var width = 900, height = 900;")
In fact, i'd like to to use the height and width of a specific div like here

#container { width:550px; height:550px; position:fixed; top:0; left:0; aligne:center;}

How do i writte var height and var width in my JS ?
Hope you could understand my question (sorry if i'm not clear i just started coding recently)
Thx for your feedbacks

How do I translate this map?
let path = d3.geoPath()
...
No projection.
