vl.projection(type)
Define a cartographic projection for longitude, latitude coordinates.
projection Method Overviewprojection API Reference# projection.center(…value)
The projection’s center, a two-element array of longitude and latitude in degrees.
Default value: [0, 0]
# projection.clipAngle(value)
The projection’s clipping circle radius to the specified angle in degrees. If null, switches to antimeridian cutting rather than small-circle clipping.
# projection.clipExtent(…value)
The projection’s viewport clip extent to the specified bounds in pixels. The extent bounds are specified as an array [[x0, y0], [x1, y1]], where x0 is the left-side of the viewport, y0 is the top, x1 is the right and y1 is the bottom. If null, no viewport clipping is performed.
# projection.coefficient(value)
The coefficient parameter for the hammer projection.
Default value: 2
# projection.distance(value)
For the satellite projection, the distance from the center of the sphere to the point of view, as a proportion of the sphere’s radius. The recommended maximum clip angle for a given distance is acos(1 / distance) converted to degrees. If tilt is also applied, then more conservative clipping may be necessary.
Default value: 2.0
# projection.extent(…value)
# projection.fit(…value)
# projection.fraction(value)
The fraction parameter for the bottomley projection.
Default value: 0.5, corresponding to a sin(ψ) where ψ = π/6.
# projection.lobes(value)
The number of lobes in projections that support multi-lobe views: berghaus, gingery, or healpix. The default value varies based on the projection type.
# projection.parallel(value)
The parallel parameter for projections that support it: armadillo, bonne, craig, cylindricalEqualArea, cylindricalStereographic, hammerRetroazimuthal, loximuthal, or rectangularPolyconic. The default value varies based on the projection type.
# projection.parallels(…value)
For conic projections, the two standard parallels that define the map layout. The default depends on the specific conic projection used.
# projection.pointRadius(value)
The default radius (in pixels) to use when drawing GeoJSON Point and MultiPoint geometries. This parameter sets a constant default value. To modify the point radius in response to data, see the corresponding parameter of the GeoPath and GeoShape transforms.
Default value: 4.5
# projection.precision(value)
The threshold for the projection’s adaptive resampling to the specified value in pixels. This value corresponds to the Douglas–Peucker distance. If precision is not specified, returns the projection’s current resampling precision which defaults to √0.5 ≅ 0.70710….
# projection.radius(value)
The radius parameter for the airy or gingery projection. The default value varies based on the projection type.
# projection.ratio(value)
The ratio parameter for the hill, hufnagel, or wagner projections. The default value varies based on the projection type.
# projection.reflectX(value)
Sets whether or not the x-dimension is reflected (negated) in the output.
# projection.reflectY(value)
Sets whether or not the y-dimension is reflected (negated) in the output.
# projection.rotate(…value)
The projection’s three-axis rotation to the specified angles, which must be a two- or three-element array of numbers [lambda, phi, gamma] specifying the rotation angles in degrees about each spherical axis. (These correspond to yaw, pitch and roll.)
Default value: [0, 0, 0]
# projection.scale(value)
The projection’s scale (zoom) factor, overriding automatic fitting. The default scale is projection-specific. The scale factor corresponds linearly to the distance between projected points; however, scale factor values are not equivalent across projections.
# projection.size(…value)
Used in conjunction with fit, provides the width and height in pixels of the area to which the projection should be automatically fit.
# projection.spacing(value)
The spacing parameter for the lagrange projection.
Default value: 0.5
# projection.tilt(value)
The tilt angle (in degrees) for the satellite projection.
Default value: 0.
# projection.translate(…value)
The projection’s translation offset as a two-element array [tx, ty].
# projection.type(value)
The cartographic projection to use. This value is case-insensitive, for example "albers" and "Albers" indicate the same projection type. You can find all valid projection types in the documentation.
Default value: equalEarth
