d3.geoProjectionMutator()

d3.geoProjectionMutator(factory)

Constructs a new projection from the specified raw projection factory and returns a mutate function to call whenever the raw projection changes. The factory must return a raw projection. The returned mutate function returns the wrapped projection. For example, a conic projection typically has two configurable parallels. A suitable factory function, such as d3.geoConicEqualAreaRaw, would have the form:

// y0 and y1 represent two parallels
function conicFactory(phi0, phi1) {
  return function conicRaw(lambda, phi) {
    return […, …];
  };
}

Using d3.geoProjectionMutator, you can implement a standard projection that allows the parallels to be changed, reassigning the raw projection used internally by d3.geoProjection:

function conicCustom() {
  var phi0 = 29.5,
      phi1 = 45.5,
      mutate = d3.geoProjectionMutator(conicFactory),
      projection = mutate(phi0, phi1);

  projection.parallels = function(_) {
    return arguments.length ? mutate(phi0 = +_[0], phi1 = +_[1]) : [phi0, phi1];
  };

  return projection;
}

When creating a mutable projection, the mutate function is typically not exposed.
