The curveCardinal() method produces a cubic cardinal spline. The curve is also based on these cubic cardinal splines.

Syntax:

d3.curveCardinal()

Parameters: This method does not accept any parameters.

Return Value: This method does not return any value.

Example 1:

            { x: 6, y: 1 },
            { x: 7, y: 5 },
            { x: 8, y: 1 }];
  
        var xScale = d3.scaleLinear()
            .domain([0, 8]).range([25, 175]);
        var yScale = d3.scaleLinear()
            .domain([0, 20]).range([175, 25]);
  
        var line = d3.line()
            .x((d) => xScale(d.x))
            .y((d) => yScale(d.y))
            .curve(d3.curveCardinal);
  
        d3.select("#gfg")
