Plot launch year/month
This scatterplot visualizes space launch activity by year and month, with each dot representing at least one launch occurring in that month. The x-axis groups years into five sequential ranges between 1957 and 2020, while the y-axis orders months from 12 down to 1. The visualization uses React and D3 v5, employing `scaleBand` for both axes, SVG circles for marks, and data sourced from a CSV file on TaylorW43’s GitHub gist. Custom `AxisBottom` and `AxisLeft` components render the tick marks.
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.
