587d7fab367417b2b2512bd7	Create a Scatterplot with SVG Circles	6	301484	create-a-scatterplot-with-svg-circles

--description--

A scatter plot is another type of visualization. It usually uses circles to map data points, which have two values each. These values tie to the x and y axes, and are used to position the circle in the visualization.

SVG has a circle tag to create the circle shape. It works a lot like the rect elements you used for the bar chart.

--instructions--

Use the data(), enter(), and append() methods to bind dataset to new circle elements that are appended to the SVG canvas.

Note: The circles won't be visible because we haven't set their attributes yet. We'll do that in the next challenge.

--hints--

Your code should have 10 circle elements.

assert($('circle').length == 10);
