Research direction

Start with the linked Svelte REPL and compare its simplified topojson rendering with the SketchyGlobe example, especially after lowering “Min area.” Use the linked d3/svelte-canvas example as a comparison, and consider the issue complete when simplified paths render without the reported artifacts in the reproduction cases.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Most prevalent with simplified paths, such as when using import { presimplify, simplify } from 'topojson-simplify';. REPL. Also visible on SketchyGlobe example (especially when you turn down the "Min area").

This d3 / svelte-canvas example does not have the issue (gist)
