Simple line graph in d3.js

This is a simple line graph designed to allow investigation of aspects of using d3.js and is used as a teaching aid.

It is the baseline example graph used in the D3 Tips and Tricks book.

Edit: June 2014

I am going through a process of updating the code resources for the book and the latest (but not particularly different) example of this graph is here.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<style> /* set the CSS */
 
body { font: 12px Arial;}
 
path { 
  stroke: steelblue;
  stroke-width: 2;
  fill: none;
}
 
.axis path,
.axis line {
	fill: none;
	stroke: grey;
	stroke-width: 1;
	shape-rendering: crispEdges;
}
 
</style>
<body>

// Set the dimensions of the canvas / graph
var	margin = {top: 30, right: 20, bottom: 30, left: 50},

});
