Happiness Factors Comparison by Country
This interactive scatterplot compares happiness factors across countries, using data from the World Happiness Report. Users select X and Y axes from dropdown menus to explore relationships between indicators like GDP, education, and employment, with each point colored by indicator category. A clickable legend filters the view to highlight specific factors, while tooltips reveal exact values. Built with D3 v4, it uses SVG animations, `scaleOrdinal` for coloring, and transition-based rendering to smoothly update positions when axes change.
