# d3-geo-polygon

Clipping and geometric operations for spherical polygons.


world map

```js run=false
const projection = geoDodecahedral();
```

This module introduces a dozen projections that need polygon clipping. It can also be used to clip a projection with an arbitrary polygon:

```js run=false
const projection = geoEquirectangular()
.preclip(geoClipPolygon({
type: "Polygon",
coordinates: [[[-10, -10], [-10, 10], [10, 10], [10, -10], [-10, -10]]]
}));
```

## Installing

In Observable Framework, [import](https://observablehq.com/framework/imports) with the `npm:` protocol:

```html run=false

import {geoCubic} from "npm:d3-geo-polygon@2";
const projection = geoCubic();

```

If you use npm, `npm install d3-geo-polygon`. You can also download the [latest release on GitHub](https://github.com/d3/d3-geo-polygon/releases/latest). For vanilla HTML in modern browsers, import d3-geo-polygon from Skypack:

```html run=false

import {geoCubic} from "https://cdn.skypack.dev/d3-geo-polygon@2";
const projection = geoCubic();

```

For legacy environments, you can load d3-geo-projection’s UMD bundle from an npm-based CDN such as jsDelivr; a `d3` global is exported:

```html run=false

const projection = d3.geoCubic();

```

## API Reference

# d3.geoClipPolygon(polygon) · [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-geo-polygon/blob/main/src/clip/polygon.js), [Examples](https://observablehq.com/@d3/spherical-clipping)

Given a GeoJSON *polygon* or *multipolygon*, returns a clip function suitable for [_projection_.preclip](https://d3js.org/d3-geo/projection#projection_preclip).

# clip.polygon([geometry])

If geometry is specified, sets the clipping polygon to the geometry and returns a new clip function. Otherwise returns the clipping polygon.

# clip.clipPoint([clipPoint])

Whether the projection should clip points. If clipPoint is false, the clip function only clips line and polygon geometries. If clipPoint is true, points outside the clipping polygon are not projected. Typically set to false when the projection covers the whole sphere, to make sure that all points —even those on the edge of the clipping polygon— get projected.

# d3.geoIntersectArc(arcs) · [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-geo-polygon/blob/main/src/intersect.js), [Examples](https://observablehq.com/@fil/spherical-intersection)

Given two spherical arcs [point0, point1] and [point2, point3], returns their intersection, or undefined if there is none. See “[Spherical Intersection](https://observablehq.com/@fil/spherical-intersection)”.

## Projections

New projections are introduced:

# d3.geoPolyhedralVoronoi([parents], [polygons], [faceProjection], [faceFind]) · [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-geo-polygon/blob/main/src/polyhedral/voronoi.js)

Returns a polyhedral projection based on the *polygons*, arranged in a tree.

The tree is specified by passing *parents*, an array of indices indicating the parent of each face. The root of the tree is the first face without a parent (with the array typically specifying -1).

*polygons* are a GeoJSON FeatureCollection of geoVoronoi cells, which should indicate the corresponding sites (see [d3-geo-voronoi](https://github.com/Fil/d3-geo-voronoi)). An optional [_faceProjection_](#geoPolyhedral) is passed to d3.geoPolyhedral() -- note that the gnomonic projection on the polygons’ sites is the only faceProjection that works in the general case.

The .parents([parents]), .polygons([polygons]), .faceProjection([faceProjection]) set and read the corresponding options. Use .faceFind(voronoi.find) for faster results.

# d3.geoCubic() · [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-geo-polygon/blob/main/src/cubic.js), [Examples](https://observablehq.com/@fil/cubic-projections)

# d3.geoAirocean() · [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-geo-polygon/blob/main/src/airocean.js), [Examples](https://observablehq.com/@fil/airocean-projection)

[world map](https://observablehq.com/@fil/airocean-projection)

Buckminster Fuller’s Airocean projection (also known as “Dymaxion”), based on a very specific arrangement of the icosahedron which allows continuous continent shapes. Fuller’s triangle transformation, as formulated by Robert W. Gray (and implemented by Philippe Rivière), makes the projection almost equal-area.

# d3.geoCahillKeyes

[world map](https://www.genekeyes.com/)

The Cahill-Keyes projection, designed by Gene Keyes (1975), is built on Bernard J. S. Cahill’s 1909 octant design. Implementation by Mary Jo Graça (2011), ported to D3 by Enrico Spinielli (2013).

# d3.geoImago() · [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-geo-polygon/blob/main/src/imago.js), [Examples](https://observablehq.com/@fil/the-imago-projection)

# imago.k([k])

# d3.geoComplexLog([planarProjectionRaw[, cutoffLatitude]]) · [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-geo-polygon/blob/main/src/complexLog.js), [Example](https://cgmi.github.io/complex-log-projection/)

# d3.geoComplexLogRaw([planarProjectionRaw])

[world map](https://cgmi.github.io/complex-log-projection/)

Complex logarithmic view. This projection is based on the papers by Joachim Böttger et al.:

- [Detail‐In‐Context Visualization for Satellite Imagery (2008)](https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-8659.2008.01156.x)
- [Complex Logarithmic Views for Small Details in Large Contexts (2006)](https://doi.org/10.1109/TVCG.2006.126)

The specified raw projection *planarProjectionRaw* is used to project onto the complex plane on which the complex logarithm is applied.
Recommended are [azimuthal equal-area](https://github.com/d3/d3-geo#geoAzimuthalEqualAreaRaw) (default) or [azimuthal equidistant](https://github.com/d3/d3-geo#geoAzimuthalEquidistantRaw).

*cutoffLatitude* is the latitude relative to the projection center at which to cutoff/clip the projection, lower values result in more detail around the projection center. Value must be < 0 because complex log projects the origin to infinity.

# complexLog.planarProjectionRaw([projectionRaw])

If *projectionRaw* is specified, sets the planar raw projection. See above. If *projectionRaw* is not specified, returns the current planar raw projection.

# complexLog.cutoffLatitude([latitude])

If *latitude* is specified, sets the cutoff latitude. See above. If *latitude* is not specified, returns the current cutoff latitude.

## Updated projections

d3-geo-polygon adds polygon clipping to the polyhedral and interrupted projections from [d3-geo-projection](https://github.com/d3/d3-geo-projection). Thus, it supersedes the following symbols:

# d3.geoPolyhedral(tree, face) · [Source](https://github.com/d3/d3-geo-polygon/blob/main/src/polyhedral/index.js), [Examples](https://observablehq.com/@fil/polyhedral-projections-with-d3-geo-polygon)

Defines a new polyhedral projection. The *tree* is a spanning tree of polygon face nodes; each *node* is assigned a *node*.transform matrix. The *face* function returns the appropriate *node* for a given *lambda* and *phi* in radians.

Polyhedral projections’ default **clipPoint** depends on whether the clipping polygon covers the whole sphere. When the polygon’s area is almost complete (larger than 4π minus .1 steradian), clipPoint is set to false, and all point geometries are displayed, even if they (technically) fall outside the clipping polygon. For smaller polygons, clipPoint defaults to true, thus hiding points outside the clipping region.

# polyhedral.tree() returns the spanning tree of the polyhedron, from which one can infer the faces’ centers, polygons, shared edges etc.
