mapView.projection

Beta feature in v9.3. The projection options allow applying client side projection to a map given in coordinates, typically from TopoJSON or GeoJSON.

Sub-options are:

  • name, which as of v9.3 can be EqualEarth, LambertConformalConic, Miller, Orthographic or WebMercator.
  • parallels, the standard parallels for the LambertConformalConic projection.
  • rotation, a three-axis rotation of the globe prior to projection, which in practice can be used for example to render a world map with the Americas centered ([90, 0]), or to rotate an orthographic projection.
