I'm in the early stages of a JS project. Everything is going fine so far except for the positioning of one shape. The shape in question is a teal diamond (square rotated 45 degrees). I can get the square on the screen no problem, but when I add:
.attr("transform", "rotate(45)")
the square rotates properly, but shifts towards the left portion of the screen, like this:

I am not sure what is causing this to happen. If it helps, here is some of the code that produced this result:
var svg = d3.select("body")
.append("svg")
.attr("width", w)
.attr("height", h);
svg
.append("rect")
.attr("transform", "rotate(45)")
.attr("x", 250)
.attr("height", w / 10)
.attr("width", w / 10)
.attr("fill", "teal")
Note: If I put the "y" attribute in, the square disappears completely.
What is causing this? Did I do something wrong that I just can't see?
