d3NoobV5 Reusable Examples - Line Types Chart
This example demonstrates eight different D3 curve interpolation methods applied to a line chart of stock data, with each curve type rendered in a distinct color. The visualization compares curves such as linear, step, basis, cardinal, monotoneX, and Catmull-Rom, showing how each affects the visual smoothness and shape of the line. The code uses d3.axisBottom, d3.axisLeft, and d3.line with the corresponding d3.curve functions, while the data comes from a CSV file with date and closing price values. A static area fill is also included beneath the lines.
