D3 rotating globe and text - dictionary

Question

Needing some help... i was able to find an example of a rotating globe, that works great, i even found a way to put red circles at a point. Even better to setup a timer and everything rotates with the globe great. But if i put text on the map at the same point as the red circles it shows up at the starting point that i placed it, but as the world turns the red circle moves with the globe, but the text is frozen at the points that it was written. i am trying to get the text to rotate with the world and the red circles. think in the country of united states i want to put a number, brazil would have number when the globe rotates to china the values would still be on the countries i put it and when it rotates US and Brazil back to the front the numbers are there showing. This is what i have in code, bear with me I am still a noob when working with D3. thanks for any input...
// Initialize some variables:
var element = '#home1',
width = $("#home1").width(),
height = $("#home1").height();
var diameter = 460,
radius = diameter/2,
velocity = .001,
then = Date.now();
var features, circles;
var projection = d3.geo.orthographic()
.scale(radius - 2)
.translate([radius, radius])
.clipAngle(90);
// Save the path generator for the current projection:
var path = d3.geo.path()
.projection(projection)
.pointRadius( function(d,i) {
return radius;
});
// Define the longitude and latitude scales, which allow us to map lon/lat coordinates to pixel values:
var lambda = d3.scale.linear()
.domain([0, width])
.range([-180, 180]);
var phi = d3.scale.linear()
.domain([0, height])
.range([90, -90]);
// Create the drawing canvas:
var svg = d3.select("#home1").append("svg:svg")
.attr("width", diameter)
.attr("height", diameter);
//Create a base circle: (could use this to color oceans)
var backgroundCircle = svg.append("svg:circle")
.attr('cx', diameter / 2)
.attr('cy', diameter / 2)
.attr('r', 0)
.attr('class', 'geo-globe');
// Make a tag to group all our countries, which is useful for zoom purposes. (child elements belong to a 'group', which we can zoom all-at-once)
var world = svg.append('svg:g');
var zoomScale = 1; // default
// Create the element group to mark individual locations:
var locations = svg.append('svg:g').attr('id', 'locations');
// Having defined the projection, update the backgroundCircle radius:
backgroundCircle.attr('r', projection.scale() );
// Construct our world map based on the projection:
d3.json('world-countries.json', function(collection) {
features = world.selectAll('path')
.data(collection.features)
.enter()
.append('svg:path')
.attr('class', 'geo-path')
.attr('d', path);
// features.append('svg:title')
// .text( function(d) { return d.properties.name; });
}); // end FUNCTION d3.json()
d3.json("data.geojson", function(collection) {
console.log("2");
cs = locations.selectAll('path')
.data(collection.features)
.enter().append('svg:path')
.datum(function(d) {return {type: "Point", coordinates: [d.geometry.coordinates[0], d.geometry.coordinates[1]]}; })
.attr('class', 'geo-node')
.attr("d", path.pointRadius(5))
.attr('d', path);
cs1 = locations.selectAll('text')
.data(collection.features)
.enter().append('svg:text')
.attr("transform", function(d) {return "translate(" + projection(d.geometry.coordinates) + ")"; })
.attr("dy", ".35em")
.attr('d', path)
.text(function(d) { return d.properties.name; });
}); // end FUNCTION d3.json()
d3.timer(function() {
if(offpage === 0)
{
var angle = velocity * (Date.now() - then);
projection.rotate([angle,0,0])
svg.selectAll("path").attr("d", path.projection(projection));
}
});
d3.select(window)
.on("touchmove", mousemove)
.on("touchstart", mousedown);
function mousemove() {
offpage = 0;
}
function mousedown() {
offpage=1
}

Answer 1

In your code, features(the world map) is a path, and cs(the city points) is a path, but cs1(the city names) is a text. In your timer you rotate the paths, which doesn't rotate the text.
My solution uses rotation degrees, instead of angle, so you'll have to adapt the formula.
d3.timer(function() {
tcounter++
rotation++
if (rotation>=360) rotation = 0
projection.rotate([rotation,0,0])
www.attr("d", path.projection(projection));
citydot.attr("d", path.projection(projection));
ctext.attr("transform", function(d) {
return "translate(" + projection(d.geometry.coordinates) + ")"; })
.text(function(d) {
if (((rotation + d.geometry.coordinates[0] > -90) && (rotation + d.geometry.coordinates[0] <90)) ||
((rotation + d.geometry.coordinates[0] > 270) && (rotation + d.geometry.coordinates[0] <450)))
return d.properties.city;
else return "" });
if (tcounter > 360) return true
else return false
})
