Update graph data automatically
A line chart of stock closing prices automatically refreshes with a new dataset every five seconds. Built with D3.js version 3, the visualization uses `d3.csv` to load two CSV files, `d3.time.scale` for the date axis, and `d3.svg.line` for the path. A `setInterval` triggers the update, which transitions the line and axes over 750 milliseconds using D3’s `.transition()` and `.duration()` methods. The SVG rendering relies on standard D3 SVG elements and selectors to swap the data seamlessly.
AI-generated descriptionThis is a follow on from the update data graph used as an example in the book D3 Tips and Tricks.
It demonstrates the loading of new data for the graph automatically after 5 seconds. It should be taken in context with the text of the book which can be downloaded for free from Leanpub.
