This area chart displays world population trends over time, using a gradient-filled path to show the rise from the mid-1900s through 2015. The visualization loads CSV data from VizHub, parses years as dates, and renders an SVG using d3.area with curveBasis, while d3.scaleTime and d3.scaleLinear map the axes. Axis ticks, a title, and rotated y-axis label are added via d3.axisBottom and d3.axisLeft.
