Scatter Plot: Forest Fires in Brazil (CS 573 Assignment #3.3
This scatter plot visualizes the number of forest fires per Brazilian state for each month, using data from a Brazilian Forest Fires Dataset. Each red circle represents a state’s fire count, with the y-axis showing fire frequency and the x-axis displaying the year; the non-continuous vertical patterns highlight disparities between states with low versus high fire occurrences. The visualization is rendered as an SVG using d3.v6, employing `d3.csv`, `scaleLinear`, `axisLeft`, `axisBottom`, and `selectAll('circle').join()` for data binding and circle placement.

This is a scatter plot using the Brazilian Forest Fires Dataset and depicts the amount of forest fire each month per Brazilian state. Each point represents a Brazilian state and its height is the number of forest fires that occurred that month.
It’s interesting to see how these lines aren’t continuous as some states see a rather low number of fires while others see quite a lot.
