            .append("svg") 
            .attr("width", width) 
            .attr("height", height); 
     
        var yscale = d3.scaleLinear() 
            .domain([0, 1]) 
            .range([height - 50, 0]); 
     
        var y_axis = d3.axisRight() 
            .scale(yscale).tickPadding([-20]);
     
        svg.append("g") 
            .attr("transform", "translate(100,20)") 
            .call(y_axis)
