This animated scatter plot cycles through different x-axis variables from the Iris dataset, changing every two seconds to compare sepal and petal measurements. The visualization uses D3’s scaleLinear, axisBottom, and axisLeft APIs to render axes and circles colored by species, with the x-axis switching between petal_width, sepal_width, petal_length, and sepal_length. Rendering uses SVG animations driven by setInterval, and the dataset is loaded via d3.csv from a GitHub repository.
