Week 5: IMDB Top 250 Movies Scatter Plot: Year VS Rating
This scatter plot displays the release year and IMDB rating of the top 250 movies from Kaggle, with each film shown as a colored circle representing its genre. The visualization uses the React framework to load data from a CSV file, then relies on d3.scaleLinear and d3.extent to map the year and rating axes, while d3.scaleOrdinal with a category-10 scheme colors the points by genre. Fixed-radius dots at 70% opacity reveal the distribution of critically acclaimed films across decades, with axes rendered via d3.axisBottom and d3.axisLeft.
