This interactive scatter plot uses dropdown menus to let users choose which columns of the auto-mpg dataset appear on the x- and y-axes. The code employs d3.scaleLinear, d3.axisBottom, and d3.axisLeft, with a custom dropdownMenu component that updates the chart on selection changes. Circles transition with a staggered delay of 2 seconds each time the axes change, rendered as SVG elements with a red, semi-transparent fill.
