This scatterplot compares GDP growth for the United States and Germany from the post-World War II era using data from the IMF. Two countries are distinguished by color with an interactive legend that lets users isolate a single nation. The D3 v5 code builds the visualization as an SVG, relying on `d3.scaleLinear` for axes, `d3.axisBottom` and `d3.axisLeft` for ticks, and `d3.scaleOrdinal` for the color scheme. Circles are drawn with `append('circle')` and update opacity based on the selection.
