Typically, the input coordinates are spherical and the output coordinates are planar, but the projection can also be an arbitrary geometric transformation.
See also geoproject.
Returns a shallow copy of the specified GeoJSON object, removing antimeridian and polar cuts, and replacing straight Cartesian line segments with geodesic segments. The input object must have coordinates in longitude and latitude in decimal degrees per RFC 7946. Antimeridian cutting, if needed, can then be re-applied after rotating to the desired projection aspect.
See also geostitch.

Command-Line Reference
geo2svg
# geo2svg [options…] [file] <>
Converts the specified GeoJSON file to SVG. With --newline-delimited, each input feature is rendered as a separate path element; otherwise, a single path element is generated.
By default, the SVG’s fill is set to none and the stroke is set to black. The default point radius is 4.5. To override these values on a per-feature basis, the following GeoJSON feature properties will be propagated to attributes:
- fill
- fill-rule (or fillRule)
- fill-opacity (or fillOpacity)
- stroke
- stroke-width (or strokeWidth)
- stroke-linecap (or strokeLinecap)
- stroke-linejoin (or strokeLinejoin)
- stroke-miterlimit (or strokeMiterlimit)
- stroke-dasharray (or strokeDasharray)
- stroke-dashoffset (or strokeDashoffset)
- stroke-opacity (or strokeOpacity)
- point-radius (or pointRadius)
If the feature has an id, the path element will have a corresponding id attribute. If the feature has a title property, the path element will have a title element with the corresponding value. For an example of per-feature attributes, see this California population density map.
Note: per-feature attributes are most useful in conjunction with newline-delimited input, as otherwise the generated SVG only has a single path element. To set these properties dynamically, pass the input through ndjson-map.

geoproject
# geoproject [options…] projection [file] <>
Projects the GeoJSON object in the specified input file using the specified projection, outputting a new GeoJSON object with projected coordinates. For example, to project standard WGS 84 input using d3.geoAlbersUsa:
geoproject 'd3.geoAlbersUsa()' us.json \
> us-albers.jsonFor geometry that crosses the antimeridian or surrounds a pole, you will want to pass input through geostitch first:
geostitch world.json \
| geoproject 'd3.geoMercator()' \
> world-mercator.jsonTypically, the input coordinates are spherical and the output coordinates are planar, but the projection can also be an arbitrary geometric transformation. For example, to invert the y-axis of a standard spatial reference system such as California Albers (EPSG:3310) and fit it to a 960×500 viewport:
shp2json planar.shp \
| geoproject 'd3.geoIdentity().reflectY(true).fitSize([960, 500], d)' \
> planar.jsonSee also d3.geoProject and d3.geoIdentity.

Requires the specified module, making it available for use in any expressions used by this command. The loaded module is available as the symbol name. If name is not specified, it defaults to module. (If module is not a valid identifier, you must specify a name.) For example, to reproject the world on the Airocean projection:
geoproject --require d3=d3-geo-polygon 'd3.geoAirocean()' world.geojsonThe required module is resolved relative to the current working directory. If the module is not found during normal resolution, the global npm root is also searched, allowing you to require globally-installed modules from the command line.
Multiple modules can be required by repeating this option.
geoquantize
# geoquantize [options…] [file] <>
Reads the GeoJSON object from the specified input file and outputs a new GeoJSON object with coordinates reduced to precision. Same options as geoproject.

Stitches the GeoJSON object in the specified input file, removing antimeridian and polar cuts, and replacing straight Cartesian line segments with geodesic segments. The input object must have coordinates in longitude and latitude in decimal degrees per RFC 7946. Antimeridian cutting, if needed, can then be re-applied after rotating to the desired projection aspect.
