Animated Reusable D3 Scatter Plot
This animated scatter plot cycles through the numeric columns of the Iris dataset, updating the x-axis to display each variable while the y-axis remains fixed on the final column. Rendered as SVG, the visualization uses D3’s scaleLinear, axisBottom, axisLeft, and transition APIs to animate circle positions and axis titles every three seconds. The reusable scatterPlot component applies a staggered enter and update transition to the marks.
