Semantic zoom on map with circle showing capital

Question

I wanted to implement semantic zoom on map of d3.js. I have developed a example of map and Major cities of particular country, which is working fine but sometime circle got overlap due to near places in maps so if i implement semantic zoom which will solve my circle overlapping problem.

I don't understand how to transform only graph not circle in my map.

My zooming function code is :

var zoom = d3.behavior.zoom()
    .on("zoom",function() {
        g.attr("transform","translate("+ 
            d3.event.translate.join(",")+")scale("+d3.event.scale+")");
        g.selectAll("circle")
            .attr("d", path.projection(projection));
        g.selectAll("path")  
            .attr("d", path.projection(projection)); 

  });

Anybody help me please!

Answer 1

Are you asking how to not scale the circles according to the zoom? The way you have it you are scaling the g element and the circles are in it. The way I'd do it is to "shrink" the circles when zoomed.

// zoom and pan
var zoom = d3.behavior.zoom()
  .on("zoom",function() {
     g.attr("transform","translate("+ 
        d3.event.translate.join(",")+")scale("+d3.event.scale+")");
     g.selectAll("circle")
      .attr("r", function(){
        var self = d3.select(this);
        var r = 8 / d3.event.scale;  // set radius according to scale
        self.style("stroke-width", r < 4 ? (r < 2 ? 0.5 : 1) : 2);  // scale stroke-width
        return r;
    });
});
