This visualization is a choropleth map of world population using a Mercator projection, with each country filled by a line pattern texture instead of color. The texture orientation encodes population ranges, from vertical lines for the lowest values to horizontal for the highest. The map is rendered in SVG, using d3.geoPath with d3.geoMercator for projection, and textures.lines() to generate the patterns. Data comes from a GeoJSON file of world boundaries joined with a CSV of population values.
