Display Shapes with SVG

Display Shapes with SVG

This challenge can be approached in a similar fashion to the previous one; with the difference being that, this time, you must add a specified shape within the appended SVG node. SVG supports several shape definitions, but in this instance, we will use rect.

Hint 1

Check that you have appended the rect using D3's 'append()' method. (Be sure to enclose rect in quotation marks).

Hint 2

Now assign attributes to the shape using D3's '.attr()' method. You can chain multiple uses of this method. Remember when assigning x and y co-ordinates that within the SVG area, point (0,0) occurs on the top-left. As such, while x values dictate how far right an element moves, y values will dictate how far downward it moves from the origin point.

Solution (!!Spoiler Alert!!)

<body>
 <script>
   const dataset = [12, 31, 22, 17, 25, 18, 29, 14, 9];
   
   const w = 500;
   const h = 100;
   
   const svg = d3.select("body")
                 .append("svg")
                 .attr("width", w)
                 .attr("height", h)
                 // Add your code below this line
                 .append("rect")
                 .attr("width", 25)
                 .attr("height",100)
                 .attr("x",0)
                 .attr("y",0);
                 
                 
                 // Add your code above this line
