When working on a graph using d3.js, one key step is setting up the scales for the axis.
The data for the graph is stored in a Json file with multiple arrays, each representing different regions and years:
[{
"id" : "AustraliaNewZealand" ,
"year" : [1990,1992,1994,1993,1995,1996,1997,1998,1999,2000,2001,2002,2003,2004,2005,2006,2007,2008,2009,2010],

Ideally, I want to iterate through all the arrays to find the minimum and maximum values for years and values across all regions. One way to achieve this is by using a for loop, but figuring out where and how to implement it remains a challenge.
var xScale = d3 .time.scale()
.domain((d3.extent(dataset[0].year)))
.range([margin*2, (width - margin)]);
var yScale = d3 .scale.linear()
.domain([0, d3.max(dataset[0].value)])
.range([(height - margin), margin]);
