Full example of custom maps #36

Hi,

I'm really struggling to follow your custom maps documentation. If you could include a fully working example of a custom map, that would be amazing.

Thanks

There is an example here: http://datamaps.github.io/old.html#map_custom

In that example, I have a custom set of TopoJSON data describing the UK geography.

If you only have GeoJSON files, or files from a map editing program like .shp files, you'll want to checkout Bostock's (creator of d3.js) blog "Let's make a map".

You'll most likely want a custom transform too, depending on your data.

setProjection, dataUrl and scope are going to need to be used and set properly to get the map to show.

If you can get an example available for me to see, I should be able to help out.

What is the uk map in this directory? https://github.com/markmarkoh/datamaps/tree/master/dist

I tried all the combinations (UK, GB, GBR,...) and none of them have shown UK only when using the datamap.all.min.js.. Any idea? (Referring to your USA only example...)

Thanks,
