A 3D scatter plot visualizes the penguin dataset, showing body mass, culmen length, and flipper length for three penguin species, with each species color-coded via a custom Plotly colorscale. The chart uses Plotly’s `scatter3d` trace type to render interactive markers, while D3 loads the CSV data and maps species names to numeric color values. Three.js is referenced in the README, though the actual visualization relies on Plotly’s WebGL rendering. The plot includes labeled axes and semi-transparent grid backgrounds for depth perception.
