Sol LeWitt reproduction

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt wall drawing using SVG masks to create a circular window into intersecting grids of vertical and horizontal bars. The code builds two complementary masks—one with a white background and black circle, the other inverted—so that vertical lines appear outside the circle while horizontal lines appear inside it. It uses raw DOM manipulation with `document.createElementNS` and D3’s `selection` import, and sizes the artwork responsively to the viewport dimensions.

Sol LeWitt

This example draws a single red square onto an SVG canvas, echoing the minimalist geometric style of Sol LeWitt. The code creates SVG elements using the native `document.createElementNS` API for SVG, adds a `rect` with fixed width and height attributes, and appends it to the page. It demonstrates fundamental SVG rendering with vanilla JavaScript, setting the stage for further generative art.

Sol LeWitt reproduction

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt drawing using an SVG canvas. It shows a single black square rectangle positioned at the top-left corner of a 960×500 pixel viewport. The code creates the SVG and rectangle elements dynamically using the DOM API `document.createElementNS` with the SVG namespace, then appends them to the page body. The rectangle’s dimensions are set via `setAttribute`, though its fill color is commented out, leaving it with the default black.

Fork of Vel's Fork of Sol LeWitt US Flag with d3.

This example renders a Sol LeWitt-inspired US flag using D3 v6, constructing the image through layered SVG shapes and mask filtering. The code computes flag dimensions from a base unit and applies red and blue masks to overlapping horizontal and vertical rectangles, generating the striped field and canton. Alternatively spaced star symbols, created with `d3.symbol` and `symbols[4]`, are positioned across the canton to complete the composition.

SVG Fundamentals

This example demonstrates the foundational structure of an SVG document, consisting solely of a minimal HTML page with empty `<svg>` and `<body>` elements. It serves as a starting point for building custom visualizations by hand, showcasing how SVG fundamentals are set up within a web page. The code uses plain HTML and CSS, with no JavaScript libraries or external data sources, highlighting the raw scaffolding required before any visual elements are added. It provides a clean baseline for learners to understand the basic container and rendering surface for future graphics.
