Full Difference Chart v7
This visualization compares daily download changes for two Leanpub books, Science and Style, highlighting when one outsells the other. It uses a difference chart where the area between the two lines is filled with distinct colors—orange when Science is above Style and green when Style leads. The data comes from a CSV file and is rendered as SVG using D3 v7. The code uses `d3.area`, `d3.scaleTime`, and `d3.axisBottom` to construct the chart, with clip paths separating the above and below regions.
