title: More Detailed Country Polygons on D3 (Puerto Rico)
body: <p>I am following the tutorial of <a href="http://bost.ocks.org/mike/map/" rel="nofollow"> map making </a> and I wanted to have my map zoom in on Puerto Rico (as opposed to the UK) in the tutorial.</p>
  
  <p>To adjust the project parameters though, I had to rely on tinkering with the values as what I would expect didn't come out.</p>
  
  <p>I'm currently using d3.geo.mercator() instead of albers()</p>
  
  <pre><code>var projection = d3.geo.mercator()
    .rotate([66.1, 18.4])
    .scale(10000)
    .translate([width / 2, 6.2*height]);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>though I want to do something like the below (which makes the Puerto Rico path appear off screen - can't see anything). </p>
  
  <pre><code>var projection = d3.geo.albers()
    .center([66.1, 18.4)])
    .rotate([0, 0])
    .scale(10000)
    .parallels([15, 25])
    .translate([width / 2, 6.2*height]);
  </code></pre>
