There’s an Observable version here if you want to see an implementation using d3-geo-voronoi: https://observablehq.com/@d3/world-airports-voronoi https://observablehq.com/@d3/world-airports-voronoi
- alexcnwy 3y agoIt’s incredible that these were created almost 10 years ago and yet so little of the internet uses d3 or similar interactivity these days.
- mbostock 3y agoWhat do you mean by “so little of the internet uses d3 or similar interactivity”?
- alexcnwy 3y agoI just mean I don’t see as many websites using d3 as I’d expect given how amazing it is I remember seeing your Obama 2013 budget article and being giddy. I just wish I saw more of that.
- laurels-marts 3y agoD3 is not as ubiquitous as one might think. Outside newsroom graphics departments most visualizations consumed through the browser are published using low-effort crappy BI tools like Power BI and Tableau or some generic charting libraries. So still even in 2023 when you see something that’s been meticulously crafted using a low-level approach (like D3) that allows that slick native feel it’s very impressive.
