This interactive scatter plot visualizes automotive performance data, allowing users to compare any two numeric columns—such as weight, horsepower, or acceleration—via dropdown menus positioned above the axes. Selecting a new column triggers a smooth 1-second animation where circles transition from the center to their new positions using D3’s `transition().duration()`. The visualization uses SVG for rendering, with axis ticks, grid lines, and labels styled extensively via CSS. Data loads from a remote CSV file, and both x- and y-axis selections are dynamically redrawn using `scaleLinear`, `axisBottom`, and `axisLeft` from the d3 module.
