The d3.curveMonotoneX interpolator assumes that the data is sorted according to the x coordinates otherwise sort the data accordingly. This curve method produces a cubic spline that preserves monotonicity in y, assuming monotonicity in x.
Syntax:
d3.curveMonotoneX()
Parameters: This method does not accept any parameters.
Return Value: This method does not return any value.

Output:
Example 2: Sorting the unsorted points by the x-axis then rendering the curve.
