D3 - Multiple line chart, Second line circles not showing

Question

I am making a comparison line chart plotting frequency & frequency2 against letters. Additionaly, I want circles to be made at nodes of both lines. However, I am getting circles in first set of line nodes. I am not getting circles for second line.

If I am commenting first set of code for circles, then I am able to see red circles in second line.

Please, help out so that I can see red circles in second line also, along with those in first line.

SNIPPET:

RESULT:

I think I am making some silly mistake somewhere. Pl help.

You have two issues here:

First, when you do this for both groups of circles:

g.selectAll('circle')

Your second group is selecting existing elements, and the "enter" selection of this second group will be empty.

Try to use different selectors for each group, like this:

//for the first group
g.selectAll('.circles1')

//for the second group
g.selectAll('.circles2')

The second issue is that, for the second group of circles, you should use frequency2:

.attr('cy', function(d) {
    return y(d.frequency2);
})

This is a working demo:

var data = [
                  {"letter": "A","frequency": "5.01", "frequency2":"18.03"},
                  {"letter": "B","frequency": "7.80", "frequency2":"15.03"},
                  {"letter": "C","frequency": "15.35","frequency2":"27.03"},
                  {"letter": "D","frequency": "22.70","frequency2":"12.03"},
                  {"letter": "E","frequency": "34.25", "frequency2":"21.03"},
                  {"letter": "F","frequency": "10.21","frequency2":"28.03"},
                  {"letter": "G","frequency": "7.68","frequency2":"09.03"},
            ];

                //removing prior svg elements ie clean up svg 
                d3.select('svg').selectAll("*").remove();

                //resetting svg height and width in current svg 
                d3.select("svg").attr("width", 500).attr("height", 300);

                //Setting up of our svg with proper calculations 
                var svg = d3.select("svg");
                var margin = {top: 20, right: 20, bottom: 30, left: 40};
                var width = svg.attr("width") - margin.left - margin.right;
                var height = svg.attr("height") - margin.top - margin.bottom;

                //Plotting our base area in svg in which chart will be shown 
                var g = svg.append("g").attr("transform", "translate(" + margin.left + "," + margin.top + ")");

                //X and Y scaling 
                var x = d3.scaleBand().rangeRound([0, width]).padding(0.4);
                var y = d3.scaleLinear().rangeRound([height, 0]);

                x.domain(data.map(function(d) { return d.letter; }));
                y.domain([0, d3.max(data, function(d) { return +d.frequency; })]);

                //Final Plotting 

                //for x axis 
                g.append("g")
                    .call(d3.axisBottom(x))
                    .attr("transform", "translate(0," + height + ")");

                //for y axis 
                g.append("g")
                    .call(d3.axisLeft(y))
                    .append("text").attr("transform", "rotate(-90)").attr("text-anchor", "end");
