This visualization shows world population growth over time as a smooth area chart, with the y-axis labeled in billions and the x-axis displaying years. The area path is rendered using D3 v5’s `area` generator with `curveBasis` for smoothing, while scales (`scaleTime`, `scaleLinear`) map data to SVG coordinates. Population data comes from a CSV file loaded via `csv`, and axes are configured with `axisBottom`, `axisLeft`, and custom tick formatting that converts G to B.
