# Basic Globe

This example shows the minimum code you need to render a basic representation of the planet Earth.

HTML

    <canvas id='basicGlobe' width='400' height='400'></canvas>

JavaScript

    (function() {
      var canvas = document.getElementById('basicGlobe');
      var planet = planetaryjs.planet();
      // Loading this plugin technically happens automatically,
      // but we need to specify the path to the `world-110m.json` file.
      planet.loadPlugin(planetaryjs.plugins.earth({
        topojson: { file: '/world-110m.json' }
      }));
      // Scale the planet's radius to half the canvas' size
      // and move it to the center of the canvas.
      planet.projection
        .scale(canvas.width / 2)
        .translate([canvas.width / 2, canvas.height / 2]);
      planet.draw(canvas);
    })();
