A scatter plot displays Test Cricket player records, mapping matches played on the x-axis against runs scored on the y-axis. Different point shapes—circles, squares, triangles, diamonds, and stars—encode the player's country, while the data originates from a CSV file. The visualization uses D3 v6's scaleLinear, axisBottom, axisLeft, and scaleOrdinal APIs, rendering paths via d3.symbol. This example demonstrates how shape encoding can add a categorical dimension to a simple two-variable comparison.
