Multi-Series Line Chart
This multi-series line chart displays cumulative Ebola case counts for Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone over time, sourced from a TSV file. The x-axis encodes dates using a time scale, while the y-axis uses a linear scale to represent case numbers, with city names and categories distinguished by color via `d3.scale.category10()`. The visualization leverages several D3 v3 APIs, including `d3.tsv()` for data loading, `d3.time.format()` for parsing, `d3.time.scale()` and `d3.scale.linear()` for coordinate mapping, `d3.extent()`, `d3.min()` and `d3.max()` for domain calculations, and `d3.svg.line()` to render the smoothed paths. Axes are drawn with `d3.svg.axis()`, and all elements are output as SVG shapes.
AI-generated descriptionThis line chart is constructed from a TSV file storing the daily average temperatures of New York, San Francisco and Austin over the last year. The chart employs conventional margins and a number of D3 features:
- d3.tsv - load and parse data
- d3.time.format - parse dates
- d3.time.scale - x-position encoding
- d3.scale.linear - y-position encoding
- d3.scale.category10, a d3.scale.ordinal - color encoding
- d3.extent, d3.min and d3.max - compute domains
- d3.keys - compute column names
- d3.svg.axis - display axes
- d3.svg.line - display line shape
