    <script>
        var width = 400, height = 400;
        var svg = d3.select("body")
            .append("svg")
            .attr("width", width)
            .attr("height", height);
  
        var xscale = d3.scaleLinear()
            .domain([0, 10])
            .range([0, width - 60]);
  
        var x_axis = d3.axisBottom()
            .scale(xscale).tickArguments([5]);
  
        var xAxisTranslate = height / 2;
  
        svg.append("g")
            .attr("transform", "translate(50, "
                + xAxisTranslate + ")")
            .call(x_axis) 
    </script>
</body>
