[2]Plot launch year/month with menus
This interactive scatterplot visualizes space launch records, plotting each launch's month against its year. A dropdown menu filters the x-axis by time period, grouping years into ranges like 1957–1970 or 2009–2020. The y-axis remains fixed to months, with points rendered as small circles. Built with React and D3 v5, the chart uses `scaleLinear` and `scaleBand` for axes, `csv` to load data from a GitHub gist, and React Dropdown for menu controls. Each circle’s tooltip displays the launch year.
AI-generated descriptionThe data shown here comes from Privatization of Space.
This chart meant to show each year which month the launch occurs. The Y menu only has one choice which is Month attribute, the X menu grouped years into groups.
In the future I wish to add dynamic mark radius, the larger the number of launches each month, the larger the radius. Right now it just shows that at this specific month in this specific year it has at least 1 launches.
