 #### Parameters
 
-- **projection**: a d3 function or string defining the map projection. Refer [d3-geo-projection](https://github.com/d3/d3-geo-projection) and [spatialreference.org](https://spatialreference.org/) for more detailed explanation. (default: d3.geoEquirectangular() except if you use tiles. in this case, the projection is automatically set to d3.geoMercator()). Moreover, if you define projection as "none", you can display a basemap already projected. [Example](https://observablehq.com/@neocartocnrs/bertin-js-projections).

 - **width**: width of the map (default:1000);
 - **extent**: a feature or a bbox array defining the extent e.g. a country or [[112, -43],[153, -9]] (default: null)
 - **margin**: margin around features to be displayed. This option can be useful if the stroke is very heavy (default: 1)
