This animated scatter plot visualizes university rankings across multiple countries, cycling through four metrics: Research Environment, Students to Staff Ratio, Research Quality, and Industry Impact. Built with D3 v3, the chart uses distinct SVG symbols (star, square, circle) to represent different data dimensions, with axes updating every two seconds as the metric changes. The visualization leverages a reusable chart pattern, where the scatter plot component is separated into its own module and accepts configurable setters for data binding and scales.
