This direct visualization plots each row of a migrant death record as a red circle on a world map, with circle size mapping to a selected data column. The map uses Leaflet with a black-and-white toner basemap, overlaid with a semi-transparent white canvas layer to fade the background and highlight the red data points. Built with Chiasm components for declarative data binding, the visualization loads CSV data and renders it as SVG-like circle markers, with a square-root radius scale to encode the chosen numerical field. The example is part of a gallery exploring direct data mapping and interactive geographic visualization.

AI-generated description

A direct visualization of data from themigrantsfiles.com. The data was exported to CSV format from this Google Doc on September 7, 2015. Each row of the table is represented as a red circle on the map.

Uses Leaflet and Chiasm.

I'd like to somehow overcome the issue of overlapping circles occluding one another, but I'm not sure how. Maybe clustering or binning?
