The step curve interpolator creates vertical and horizontal lines representing a step function. A vertical line is created for each pair of points in the dataset. For each pair of points, the vertical line is positioned at the x coordinate of the first point.
Syntax:
d3.curveStepBefore()
Parameters: This method takes no parameters
Return Value: This method returns nothing.
