This example demonstrates basic DOM manipulation with D3.js by arranging red rectangles into a grid and positioning them within an SVG canvas. The code uses D3’s `select` and data joins (`selectAll().data().enter().append()`) to generate groups and rectangles based on calculated coordinates. It explicitly references `d3.arc` (imported but unused), while the visible rendering relies on SVG `rect` elements positioned via transform attributes. The layout logic computes row and column counts from a given number of replicas, though the current implementation produces a simple static grid rather than an animated face.
