README
I wanted a shower curtain with a map of the world with [a projection](https://xkcd.com/977/) other than Mercator.
I couldn't find one (in my lazy search) that was an interesting projection and covered the whole curtain. Since it's possible to print anything because the internet, I decided to make my own.
I decided on a tessellated [Peirce Quincuncial projection](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peirce_quincuncial_projection), e.g.
[Since custom, might as well go all in, programming ftw](https://sethherr.github.io/sprinkledrape)
## Tessellated map
Use [d3-geo-projection](https://github.com/d3/d3-geo-projection)
Some resources:
- [Mike Bostock's Peirce Quincuncial example](https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4310087)
- [Jason Davies tessellated beauty](https://www.jasondavies.com/maps/peirce/)
First - [I copied](https://sethherr.github.io/sprinkledrape/jasondavies) what Jason Davies did (including stealing [his topojson](https://www.jasondavies.com/maps/world-50m.json)).
## What do the maps show?
It would be cool if the maps each showed something different and interesting. Some things I think might be interesting:
- Country names
- Water
- Population
- Wealth
