albersUsa projection?

[Marjorie Roswell]

d3 has a fabulous US projection, albersUsa
http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4090848

It enables us to easily see Alaska and Hawaii in the same view as the contiguous states.

More info at:

Is there a similar projection in Leaflet? If not, how might we go about gaining the albersUSA projection in Leaflet?

(I'm new to both leaflet and D3.... Trying to figure out what I should adopt. Love that Leaflet is more accessible to a variety of browsers, but also love that albersUSA projection. Seeking the best of both worlds: my favorite projection, inside Leaflet. Is it possible? Doable?)

I don't know if anyone has done plugin with that projection. But if the only think you really need is to have the continental USA + alaska and hawaii in two corners, then a possible workaround could be done by creating two controls with a sort of "minimap" in each, centered in those two states.

Take a look at the minimap plugin for inspiration: https://github.com/Norkart/Leaflet-MiniMap

You could create one minimap on the bottom left corner for hawaii and other on the top left corner for alaska.
