Scatter Plot for Forest Fires
This scatter plot explores the factors contributing to forest fires in Portugal’s Montesinho park, using 517 instances from the UCI Forest Fires dataset. Three dropdown menus let users compare any two attributes (e.g., temperature, wind, or the Fire Weather Index) against a third, with circles colored by that selected category. Built with D3 v5, the visualization uses `scaleLinear`, `axisBottom`, and `axisLeft` for axes, while a `scaleOrdinal` color scale drives the legend. Circles animate via `transition().duration(2000).delay()`, and SVG rendering updates as menu selections change.

The main question I try to answer in this dataset is what are the contributing factors to forest fires? Is there a specific time of the year and other combinations together, like extra heat or wind or even the day of the week in case they are cause by humans camping?
