This interactive scatter plot visualizes a dataset of academic metrics, allowing users to switch between variables like citations, research, and teaching for both axes. Built with D3 v6, it uses reusable chart and menu components, with `d3.scaleLinear`, `d3.axisLeft`, and `d3.axisBottom` for rendering. The plot animates transitions via `d3.transition` when axes change, with circles growing on entry and repositioning smoothly. Data loads from an external CSV, and menus dispatch change events to update the plot’s x and y value accessors.
