<p>This is the first version of the table. I have written the Domain parameter setting range as 0-100. this allows the user to see the complete data from 0 to 100. But in fact, the user can't see all the data because the distance from point to point is too close. The points themselves have size and the distance between them is too narrow. This results in no way for the user to see what the dots represent.

makeChart5(data)
<p>In this version of the chart I only show the points between 70% and 100%, which in fact covers all the points. Because I have narrowed the display, there is more space available for each point. This makes the points less dense. The user can easily read this chart.</p>
<p>Since no points would appear below 70%, I considered this to be useless space, so I omitted them.</p>
One platform to build and deploy the best data apps
Experiment and prototype by building visualizations in live JavaScript notebooks. Collaborate with your team and decide which concepts to build out.
Use Observable Framework to build data apps locally. Use data loaders to build in any language or library, including Python, SQL, and R.
Seamlessly deploy to Observable. Test before you ship, use automatic deploy-on-commit, and ensure your projects are always up-to-date.
