In this mini project, you will create a scatter plot that visualizes pairs of numerical values as circles on a two-dimensional chart. Each data point is represented by a circle, positioned according to its values along the x and y axes. The chart will include axes for context, and you will add animated transitions to make the rendering more dynamic. This project will help you see how to combine several D3.js concepts—data binding, scales, axes, and transitions—to build a complete and interactive data visualization.

This scatter plot project demonstrates how D3.js essentials work together in a practical setting. You start by selecting and appending an SVG container, then use data binding to connect your data with SVG elements. Scales translate your data values into pixel positions, so each circle is accurately placed according to its x and y values. Axes are generated from the scales to provide context for the data points, making the chart readable. Finally, transitions animate the appearance of the circles, making the visualization engaging and visually informative. By building this project, you gain hands-on experience with the core building blocks of D3, learning how they combine to create interactive and dynamic visualizations.
