This area plot visualizes world population growth from 1950 to 2015, showing a steady upward trend. Built with D3 v5 in a React framework, it uses `d3.area` with `curveBasis` to generate a smooth filled path, while `d3.scaleTime` and `d3.scaleLinear` handle the axes. Circles animate in with a transition, and the SVG renders axis grids with tick lines and labels.
