Last Updated : 23 Sep, 2020

The geoCraster() function in d3.js is used to draw the Craster parabolic projection of the given geojson data. A Craster parabolic projection is also known as Putniņš P4.

Syntax:

d3.geoCraster()

Parameters: This method does not accept any parameters.

Return Value: This method returns the Craster projection.

Example 1: The following example draws the Craster projection of the world with the center at (0, 0) and a rotation of 0 degrees.

                    ) 
                    .style("stroke", "#ffff") 
            }); 
    </script>

Output:

Example 2: The following example draws the Craster projection of the world with the center at (0, 20) and a rotation of -45 degrees with respect to the y-axis.
