Spam, a D3 library to create Canvas maps

[Martín González]

Hello,

We just released Spam, a library to make it easier to create maps with Canvas and D3.

It’s mostly an abstraction of the rendering process, supporting a ton of nice features, as easy zoomable maps, automatic projection and centering (but you can still use your custom projections if you want), retina support and multiple map features on the same canvas,

You can check some examples on blocks (if you browse my profile I have more):
