Changing the colour of an axis in v4
license: gpl-3.0

This is a simple line graph written to illustrate a method of changing the colour of an axis in v4 of d3.js.

I suspect that it is not the best or most efficient method, so I am standing this up as an example to seek advice on a better solution. The question asked on Stack Overflow is here
