A bowl of fruit demonstrates special cases of D3's general update pattern, where a static bowl rect and dynamic fruit groups coexist. Apples and lemons are drawn as circles with ordinal color and radius scales, while text labels appear beside each fruit. The code uses `selection.enter` and `selection.exit` to handle fruit additions and removals, with circles and text merged separately per fruit group. The SVG output updates over time as the dataset changes through three timed events: removing an apple, replacing one with a lemon, and filtering out another.
