This scatter plot visualizes the Palmer Penguins dataset, showing the relationship between body mass and flipper length with each point colored by species (Adelie, Chinstrap, or Gentoo). The D3.js v6 code loads CSV data from a GitHub gist, uses `scaleLinear` and `extent` to map the quantitative variables to screen coordinates, and renders circles via SVG. Additional metadata encodes culmen length and depth as point radii, though the `rx` and `ry` attributes do not alter circle shapes as they are not used with the `rect` element.
