Full Difference Chart v5
This example visualizes the daily difference in Leanpub book downloads between "R Programming for Data Science" and "The Elements of Data Analytic Style" from April to June 2015. The chart uses filled areas above and below a baseline to show which book has more daily sales, overlaid with two distinct line series for each book. Built with d3.v5 and rendered as SVG, the code uses `d3.area`, `d3.curveBasis`, `d3.nest`, and `d3.scaleTime`/`d3.scaleLinear`. Data is loaded from a CSV file via `d3.csv`.
