            .attr("width", width) 
            .attr("height", height); 
    
        var xscale = d3.scaleLinear() 
            .domain([0, 10]) 
            .range([0, width - 60]); 
    
        var x_axis = d3.axisBottom() 
            .scale(xscale).tickSize(15); 
    
        var xAxisTranslate = height / 2; 
    
        svg.append("g") 
            .attr("transform", "translate(50, "
