D3.js geoAzimuthalEqualArea() Function

The geoAzimuthalEqualArea() function in d3.js is used to draw the Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection from the given geojson data. It is a projection that tries to maintain land features to their correct relative sizes while also maintaining the correct sense of direction from the center. The world here is projected onto a flat surface from any point on the globe.
Syntax:
d3.geoAzimuthalEqualArea()
Parameters: This method does not accept any parameters.
Return Value: This method returns the azimuthal equal-area projection.
Example 1: The following example draws the Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection of North and South America.
