Let's make a face with D3.js!

A smiling face is drawn on an SVG canvas using D3.js, with eyebrows that move dynamically to create an animated expression. The example demonstrates fundamental DOM manipulation by selecting the SVG element via `d3.select`, reading its width and height attributes, and using D3's `arc` function to construct the facial features. The rendering is entirely vector-based, relying on SVG shapes styled through an external stylesheet. The interaction and motion are driven by D3's data-binding and attribute-update capabilities, highlighting the library's core strengths in programmatic visualization and animation.

This example constructs a face using a node-link diagram generated with the D3.js library’s force-directed layout. Each facial feature, such as eyes, nose, and mouth, is formed by a distinct set of circles (nodes) connected by links, with their positions determined by a physical simulation. The SVG rendering uses `d3.forceSimulation` to iteratively solve for node placement, creating a recognizable face from the structured network. The code is a minimal HTML page with an empty SVG canvas and embedded JavaScript that defines the graph structure and applies the force algorithm.

This example uses a physics-based approach to assemble a human face from scattered components. A D3.js force-directed graph simulation (`d3.forceSimulation`) pulls together distinct SVG elements—eyes, nose, and mouth—toward predefined target positions, with spring-like forces modeling the connections. The code defines the facial features as nodes in a network, while link constraints guide the assembly process. The final rendering appears as a stylized SVG face that forms organically as the simulation reaches equilibrium, demonstrating D3's capabilities for layout algorithms within a static web page.

A smiling face rendered in SVG is drawn with D3.js, using geometric shapes for the head, eyes, eyebrows, and a mouth created with the `d3.arc` path generator. The example demonstrates a looping animation where the eyebrows repeatedly move downward and back upward via chained `transition.attrTween` calls, while the static face elements remain fixed. The code relies on D3 selections and attribute manipulation, with the SVG canvas set to 960 by 500 pixels and centered via a transformed group.

A smiling face rendered as an SVG graphic uses D3.js to demonstrate fundamental DOM manipulation. The face’s eyebrows move dynamically, driven by JavaScript code that selects and updates SVG elements. The example leverages D3’s `select` and `arc` functions to construct and position the facial features. The visualization is built with D3 v5 and displayed in an HTML page with a 960 by 500 pixel SVG canvas, with the interaction logic contained in a separate `bundle.js` file.

A smiling face is drawn as an SVG, with animated eyebrows that move independently. The visualization demonstrates fundamental DOM manipulation with D3.js, using the `select` and `arc` functions from D3 v5 to construct the facial features. The page loads a 960 by 500 pixel SVG element and renders the face directly within it, with styles applied from an external stylesheet. The example serves as a simple, interactive introduction to building and updating SVG graphics with D3's data-driven approach.

A smiling face is drawn with D3.js v5, featuring circular eyes, rectangular eyebrows, and an arc-shaped mouth on a filled circle head. The eyebrows animate upward and back down using chained `transition().duration()` calls, while all shapes are positioned relative to a centered group. The code uses `d3.select`, `d3.arc`, and SVG elements, rendering with a static yellow head and black outlines.

Let's make a face with CSS and D3.js!

A smiling face rendered in SVG uses D3.js to construct its geometry, while CSS custom properties define all visual dimensions and positions. The face, eyes, eyebrows, and mouth are created by appending SVG shapes with D3's selection API. Eyebrow movement is prepared through commented-out D3 transition code, with offsets stored as CSS variables. The example demonstrates how D3 v5 DOM manipulation can combine with CSS variables for styling, though the animation logic remains incomplete.
