Floating Landmasses in d3v4
license: gpl-3.0

By changing the scale and clip angle of an orthographic projection, this example creates two concentric spheres to give the appearance of floating landmasses. Inspired by Derek Watkin’s Faux-3D Arcs.

forked from mbostock's block: Floating Landmasses

Now also using d3-inertia.
