D3 Course 7: World Map - Rotating Globe
This interactive globe visualizes world countries using an orthographic projection that continuously rotates over time. The example renders landmasses in light green with hover highlighting, displays graticule meridians, and includes a blue ocean sphere. It loads geographic data from the world-atlas package, which provides both GeoJSON and TSV country name lookups. Using d3.geoOrthographic, d3.geoPath, and d3.geoGraticule functions, the globe animates via d3.timer, rotating the projection's horizontal axis while maintaining a fixed vertical tilt, with zoom support integrated through d3.zoom.
