unable to rotate albersUsa projections

This is not a critical issue, however, I noticed that I am only able to apply rotation to specific d3.geo projections. I cannot apply rotation to an albersUsa projection https://github.com/d3/d3-3.x-api-reference/blob/master/Geo-Projections.md

  function makeUsaProjection(scale) {
    return function(element) {
      var projection =  d3.geo.albersUsa()
      .scale(scale? scale : (element.width + 1) / 2 / Math.PI)
      .translate([element.offsetWidth / 2, element.offsetHeight / (2)]);

      var path = d3.geo.path()
      .projection(projection);

      return {path: path, projection: projection};
    }
  }

The code above will generate albersUsa map for me, however, when I specify a rotation on my projection:

.rotate([10,10,10])

I receive the following error:

explore-maps.js:497 Uncaught TypeError: d3.geo.albersUsa(…).rotate is not a function

I’m not sure why I can apply rotations to specific projections, and not the albersUsa map.

Also see d3-composite-projections for more projections that use the same technique as d3.geoAlbersUsa.

Incase anyone comes wondering how they can rotate their albsersUsa projection, I dug through object that is generated and applied a style via javascript:

var usaSvg = map.svg[0][0].childNodes[0]; var dotsSvg = map.svg[0][0].childNodes[1];

usaSvg.setAttribute('transform', 'rotate(-2)'); dotsSvg.setAttribute('transform', 'rotate(-2)');
