Let's make a face with D3.js

A yellow circle with a black outline forms a face, complete with two eyes, animated eyebrows, and an arc-shaped mouth. The eyes and eyebrows are simple SVG circles and rectangles, while the mouth uses a path generated by D3's `arc` function. The eyebrows animate via chained `transition` calls, moving down and back up over two seconds each way. The visualization is built entirely with D3 v5, using its `select` and `arc` modules to render and manipulate SVG elements.

Let's make a face with D3.js

This example builds an animated face from scratch using D3.js v5 and SVG. It shows how basic geometric elements can be combined into a playful character, with each facial feature positioned and styled through D3’s data-binding and attribute manipulation. The code uses `d3.select` to target the SVG container and appends shapes like circles and paths, while `d3.forceSimulation` is not present; instead, simple static coordinates and CSS transitions animate the features. The face appears centered on a 960×500 canvas, with the stylesheet hiding page margins for a clean presentation.
