Simple Difference Chart v7
This difference chart visualizes the daily change in cumulative downloads for two Leanpub books, "R Programming for Data Science" and "The Elements of Data Analytic Style," from April to June 2015. The SVG rendering uses D3 v7 APIs including `d3.csv`, `d3.group`, `d3.timeParse`, `d3.scaleTime`, and `d3.scaleLinear` to compute and display the difference between the two series. The area between the lines is shaded orange or green depending on which book has higher daily gains, with dark green and red lines for the individual series. Data originates from the `downloads.csv` file, showing daily download totals.
