Which projection is supported? #130

I see in example that this map tool uses a mercator projection. What are other projections available?

By default it supports all the d3 projections:

Although if you added the d3 script for extra projections, all of these would be made available:

It's important to note that in some instances you'll need to override setProjection in DataMaps to handle the scaling/zooming.

mercator and equirectangular work out of the box, and now on master orthographic works great too
