Introduction
Planetary.js is a JavaScript library for building awesome interactive globes. It uses D3 and TopoJSON to parse and render geographic data. Planetary.js is a plugin-based system; even the default functionality is implemented as plugins! This makes Planetary.js extremely flexible.
The documentation is split up into several sections:
- Core API describes the top-level Planetary.js API, including installing and configuring the library and creating new instances of planets.
- Planet API describes the API associated with a planet instance, including modifying its properties and accessing a special canvas context that allows you to draw on the globe.
- Plugins describes the plugin architecture of Planetary.js and shows how you can easily build your own plugins to modify the behavior of Planetary.js
- Built-In Plugins describes each of the built-in plugins in turn, including their public API and how to use them in a project.
