 # d3-twodim
 
-Helps create two-dimensional representations of data using scatter plots (using SVG, Canvas, or WebGL), and (in the future) techniques such as Splatterplots and subsampled scatterplots.  This reusable component uses a factory design pattern to keep d3-twoDim components linked to interchange data and object state.
+d3-twodim is a **D3.v3.js** module for creating two-dimensional representations of data for end-user exploration.  Currently, d3-twodim can instantiate scatterplots using SVG, Canvas, or WebGL, and will (in the future) instantiate visualization techniques such as Splatterplots and subsampled scatterplots. This module uses a factory design pattern to keep d3-twodim components linked to one another in order to interchange data, data item state, and user interaction.
