            Simplifying a GeoJson FeatureCollection using mapshaper causes issues
            Asked 2022-Mar-29 at 20:09

            More specifically, it causes the same code to render an outline on the map, and only recognizes the last path element when using pointer events. I simplified a continents.json file on mapshaper using their website and replaced the file in my public/data folder. Currently I'm fetching the data in one component and passing it down to another.

            No wonder your map loads slowly. You should simplify the map using Mapshaper. Start with that. There could be another cause of the slowness in your measure you put on the map color saturation. Start with the simplest possible measure such as SUM( Table[no of kangaroos] ), avoid SUMX or IF in that measure. You could use Daxstudio to check the performance of the measure.

            How to plot longitude latitude coordinates for geoAlbersUsa() projection?
            Asked 2021-Jan-03 at 20:29

            I am trying to create a simple bubblemap that plots longitude-latitude pairs by a number of admissions for a county using US DHS data. My CSV file has the name of county, longitude, latitude, type of Admission, class of admission, number of admissions, and country of origin. I've created some checkboxes that will allow the user to see a bubblemap of the different classes of admissions that were admitted to the United States.

            I've learned that the d3geoAlbersUsa projection projects the map of the USA at [0,0] which is off the coast of Africa. From the photo below (see Imgur link), you can see that my points seem to plot at the correct coordinates. However, the background map is not visible. When I use d3.geoMercator() and center the projection on [0,0] I see the map. In both cases, I don't know how to make the bubbles appear on the map.

            I'm new to d3 so I'm not sure how to go about this. How do I create a bubblemap using long lat coordinates with the d3geoAlbersUsa projection? Thanks for the help.

            ANSWER

            Answered 2021-Jan-03 at 07:07

            D3 projections are all pretty similar. If one projection projects a given point correctly, chances are so does every other one. They take coordinates in decimal degrees and spit out coordinates in pixels and not much else. Consequently, your statement: "d3geoAlbersUsa projection projects the map of the USA at [0,0] which is off the coast of Africa." is incorrect. [0,0] in degrees is off the coast of Africa, [0,0] in pixels can be anywhere. D3 is giving you pixels, not degrees.

            If you have features/tiles/raster that show Africa where the US is or vice versa, you have conflicting projections or coordinate systems, not a failure of d3.geoAlbersUsa.

            Also, if you are mixing pre-projected geometry and unprojected geometry, you're making it too difficult: you'll need to ensure that the projections used to pre-project one geometry matches the projection used to project the second, which unless you use d3 to preproject the geometry offline somewhere will cause you some headaches.

            If you have a csv with coordinates in decimal degrees and a geojson with the same, you can assume that the projection (and consequently, any paths) will be rendered consistently, and correctly (where correctly is not necessarily equivalent to as desired...).

            Now d3.geoAlbersUsa is a bit of a special projection in that it is a composite projection combining several distinct projections (all Albers, while also shrinking Alaska down several times). It is calibrated to be centered on the US assuming a screen size of 960x600 pixels. You shouldn't need to alter the centering point, it has been set for you. The translate must be modified in your case, however, as this translates the projected coordinates. The default translate expects a container of 960x600 pixels. You want the translate to be equal to width/2,height/2, as you have. Trickier is the scale, the default scale is 1070, which extends the US across 960 pixels. This scale factor is linear, so we can use: 1070/960*width to create a new scale factor (assuming width is the limiting factor).

            d3.geoMercator is more plain, but we need to center that projection properly because it isn't by default centered on the US. We can use:

            A couple issues with your specification:

            • your GeoJSON file does not include a feature named "states". It includes a feature named "custom".
            • you are using the albersusa projection, which only shows the USA, and your GeoJSON has no data within this boundary.

            Fixing these issues, and using an orthographic projection centered on Australia, gives you a better chart (view in editor):

            Shape files gathered from NaturalEarth and compiled in mapshaper to create GeoJSON.

            Keeping it simple with just countries but I am getting a rubber band effect. When I try to drag the map (whether it be the background or on a specific country), it will try to move where you are dragging but then pop back to it's original position unless you drag your cursor across the screen or quickly release after an event is triggered.

            As well, when you zoom in on a specific country and then zoom/drag on a different country, it pops you back to the original zoom when the map is created.

            Whenever I see something with an transaction where data is not written, I look at the transaction handling. You make it actually good, as you rollback when there is an exception. But I would strongly suggest that you also make some log message indicating what kind of exception occured. Especially as you catch the generic Exception.

            Cannot add capitals to geojson world map
            Asked 2020-Sep-08 at 10:40

            I am using d3 to render a world map with clickable countries. The countries are from a geojson file, and I have no problems loading a particular continent, region or the entire world, using this site: https://geojson-maps.ash.ms/

            However, the data from that site does not have any capitals in their geojson files. So instead I looked at https://www.naturalearthdata.com/, which clearly shows that one should be able to render a region with cities on it. I take their files and convert them to geojson via https://mapshaper.org/, but for some reason I ONLY get cities, as single dots against a blank background. There is not a single map I can find which provides a map of countries with capitals/cities inside country borders.

            This leads me to wonder whether I am somehow supposed to combine a geojson file of countries with a geojson file of capitals, and render one on top of the other. In that case, how is that possible? Or is there some other solution? I attach the code where I render my world map (which works fine):

            Topojson data follows the left-hand rule for projected data (clockwise orientation for outer rings and counter- clockwise for interior rings), where the data in your topojson file is structured according the right-hand rule (counter-clockwise for outer rings and clockwise for interior rings). The order of your polygons seems negligible, but it defines which part is ‘inside’ and ‘outside’ the polgygons.

            You can do two things:

            1. Do not use a geographic projection, but the cartesian-like identity projection.
            2. Force your source data into the right order.

            Example for 1:

            "projection": {"type": "identity", "reflectY": true},
