Line Chart

This simple line chart is constructed from a TSV file storing the closing value of AAPL stock over the last few years. The chart employs conventional margins and a number of D3 features:

d3-dsv - parse tab-separated values
d3-time-format - date parsing and formatting
d3-scale - position encodings
d3-array - data processing
d3-axis - axes
d3-shape - lines
