Tell us what’s happening:
For some reason (even though I’ve set height to 500px) my scatterplot is being displayed almost as a straight line, with the top half of my dots being completely cut off. Can someone help me figure out whats going on?
you can see that the data has a year (like 2001) for x and a time (like “39:40”) for y. The year appears to be an integer in the console and the time a string, so your linear scale for the y-axis doesn’t know what to do with that string. You may need to parse the time into a linear (numerical) value and/or investigate using a d3.scaleTime() scale.
