Last Updated : 23 Sep, 2020

D3.js is a JavaScript library for producing dynamic, interactive data visualizations in web browsers.It makes use of Scalable Vector Graphics, HTML5, and Cascading Style Sheets standards.

The geoFoucaut() function in d3.js is used to draw Foucaut’s stereographic equivalent projection.

Syntax:

d3.geoFoucaut()

Parameters: This method does not accept any parameters.

Return Value: This method creates a Foucaut’s stereographic equivalent projection from given json data.

Example 1: The following example makes Foucaut projection of world with center at (0,0) and no rotation.

            + "janasayantan/datageojson/master/world.json", 
            function (data) { 
  
                // Draw the map 
                svg.append("g") 
                    .selectAll("path") 
                    .data(data.features) 
                    .enter().append("path") 
                    .attr("fill", "BurlyWood") 
                    .attr("d", d3.geoPath() 
                        .projection(gfg) 
                    ) 
                    .style("stroke", "#ffff") 
            }) 
    </script> 
</body> 
  
</html> 

Output:

Foucaut projection with no rotation and centered at (0,0)

Example 2: The following example makes Foucaut projection of world with changing the center and rotation.
