Spinning Globe
license: mit

A globe that spins. Uses world-110m from TOPOJSON World Atlas. Inspired by This Is a Globe.

This was the first stop along the way for creating a more involved map. I was so amazed at how little code was required to get this to show up.

const path = d3.select('svg').append('path');
const projection = d3.geoOrthographic();
const geoPath = d3.geoPath().projection(projection);
d3.json('world-110m.json', (error, world) => {
const land = topojson.feature(world, world.objects.land);
d3.timer(t => {
projection.rotate([t * 0.05, Math.sin(t * 0.0005) * 45]);
path.attr('d', geoPath(land));
});
});
