title: Create a Scatterplot with SVG Circles
challengeType: 6
forumTopicId: 301484
dashedName: 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.
```js
assert($('circle').length == 10);
```
