This visualization plots the Missing Migrants dataset, showing each incident as a point on a world map sized by the number of dead and missing. It uses the `d3.forceSimulation` to distribute overlapping points and `d3.geoPath` to render the geographic basemap. The rendering is done with Canvas and the `getImageData` API to detect and avoid overlapping labels. Data is loaded from a CSV file, with coordinates converted to pixel positions using a geographic projection.
