Mapping and interactive projections with D3
Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at 2:21PM D3 is a javascript library that brings data to life through an unending array of vizualizations. Whether you've realized it or not, D3 has been driving many of the most compeling data visualizations that you have likely seen throughout the last year including a popular series of election tracking tools in the New York Times.
You can find a series of examples in D3's gallery that will keep you busy for hours!
In addition to the fantastic charting tools, D3 also enables a growing list of mapping capabilities. It is really exciting to see where all this is heading. D3's developers have been spending a lot of time most recently working on projections transformations. Check out these amazing interactive projection examples:
