This area chart displays global population growth from 1950 to 2015 using an SVG canvas. The visualization employs D3.js v5 with a time-scaled x-axis and linear y-axis formatted in billions, with the population data drawn as a smoothed maroon area using `d3.area` and `d3.curveBasis`. The chart includes labeled axes, a title, and a grid created through D3’s `scaleTime`, `scaleLinear`, and `axisBottom`/`axisLeft` APIs, with data loaded from a CSV file.
