Mini State Grid
A compact tile grid maps the 50 U.S. states into an ASCII-art layout, with eight states highlighted in maroon to indicate a preselected subset. Hovering over any tile reveals its postal abbreviation via a tooltip. The code embeds state coordinates directly as text, then parses them to position square SVG rectangles using D3’s data join. It uses `d3-tip` for mouseover interactions, with hardcoded `selectedStates` and no external data file.
AI-generated descriptionA state grid inspired by an Allison McCann graphic on state taxes. (See also David Mimno’s implementation.)
Mainly, this was an excuse to embed data as ASCII art.
