Nice idea! I would do it as a preprocessor to a projection so you'd still be able to project pangea with any projection. The idea would be to transform the current latitude& longitude to pangean's era's long&lat of the "same" places.
For an example see the warp function in https://observablehq.com/@fil/fisheye-conformal-map#warp
(Closing as this is not directly relevant for d3-geo-projection.)
Maybe I’m not understanding this correctly… but is this even a matter of the projection? Wouldn’t it be sufficient to have topojson files describing the Pangea coastlines (and, if needed, present-day’s political borders on Pangea)?
Certainly the map could be drawn in that matter, but my goal is to map arbitrary data with land coordinates to Pangea.
Pre-warping coordinates (projecting before projecting) is a suitable workaround.
I'm interested, lmk if you need some help with this.
I know this is ridiculous, but it can’t hurt to ask. I’d love to have a projection that maps coordinates to Pangea. E.g. http://capitan-mas-ideas.blogspot.com/2012/08/pangea-politica.html
Obviously useless for marine coordinates and only a novelty for land.
