This example demonstrates the general update pattern in D3, showing how graphical elements respond to changes in an array of fruit objects over time. A bowl of apples is gradually modified as fruits are removed, and one apple transitions into a lemon, with all shapes and colors updating accordingly. The code uses D3’s selection merging (`selection.enter().append()`, `.merge()`, and `.exit().remove()`) to handle the incremental changes, while `scaleOrdinal` maps fruit types to colors and radii. The visualization is rendered as SVG within a React framework, using D3 v5.
