This example demonstrates the foundational steps of creating and styling SVG elements using plain JavaScript. It creates an SVG container that fills the entire browser window using the `document.createElementNS` API with the SVG namespace. The code then appends a rectangle with a fixed width of 100 pixels and height of 50 pixels, filling it with black via the `setAttribute` method. The example relies entirely on native browser APIs—no external libraries such as D3 or React—though the metadata notes the framework as React, which is not used in the visible code.

SVG Fundamentals

This example illustrates fundamental SVG rendering by generating a grid of vertical rectangles that stretch across the full height of the browser window. The code creates 100 rectangle elements using the Document Object Model’s `createElementNS` method with the SVG namespace, setting each rectangle’s x-coordinate and width via attributes. It leverages vanilla JavaScript to dynamically append these shapes to an SVG container that is sized to match the viewport using `window.innerWidth` and `window.innerHeight`. The result is a simple, repeating pattern that demonstrates basic SVG shape creation without external libraries.

SVG Fundamentals

This example introduces fundamental SVG rendering by generating a grid of 100 vertical rectangles, each 10 pixels wide and spaced 20 pixels apart, across the full browser window height. The code uses native DOM manipulation with `document.createElementNS` and the `http://www.w3.org/2000/svg` namespace to construct the SVG elements dynamically in a loop. It also demonstrates viewport sizing via `window.innerWidth` and `window.innerHeight`, with CSS applied globally to remove margins and hide overflow.

SVG fundamentals

This example demonstrates the fundamental building blocks of SVG by constructing a single rectangle using raw DOM manipulation. The code programmatically creates an SVG element and a rect child node via the `document.createElementNS` API, setting explicit width and height attributes of 960 by 500 pixels for the canvas and 100 by 100 for the shape. It shows how to manually build SVG graphics without any visualization library, relying solely on native browser methods and CSS styling for the page layout. The rectangle is appended directly to the body, illustrating the basic SVG creation workflow.

SVG fundamentals

This example demonstrates the foundational use of SVG by creating an empty drawing surface and placing a single small rectangle on it. The code creates SVG elements programmatically using the `document.createElementNS` API with the SVG namespace, setting the canvas dimensions to 960 by 500 pixels. A rectangle is then added at coordinates (100, 100) with a width and height of 10 pixels each. This bare-minimum approach, using plain JavaScript without any libraries, illustrates how to construct vector graphics from scratch for later data visualization.

SVG Fundamentals

This example demonstrates fundamental SVG rendering concepts using a minimal HTML page with embedded JavaScript and CSS. It shows how to create and manipulate basic SVG elements directly in the browser, with no external libraries beyond the native DOM API. The page initializes a blank SVG canvas and illustrates the core building blocks of vector graphics, such as coordinate systems and element structure. The code relies on standard JavaScript methods like `document.createElementNS` and `setAttribute` to construct SVG shapes programmatically, providing a foundation for more advanced visualization frameworks like React.

SVG Fundamentals

This example demonstrates the fundamental building blocks of SVG graphics, showing how basic shapes, paths, and text are rendered as scalable vector elements. The code constructs a minimal HTML page with an empty body, relying entirely on the built-in SVG namespace and CSS styling to define visual properties. It uses the JavaScript API `document.createElementNS` to programmatically create SVG elements, though the page itself does not yet render any specific shapes or data. The example serves as a starting point for understanding how React and D3 integrate with SVG, referencing the React Starter template for more complex visualizations.

SVG Fundamentals

This example demonstrates the fundamental building blocks of SVG rendering in a React application, using JavaScript and CSS to create a minimal interactive canvas. It showcases how SVG elements are structured and displayed directly within an HTML document, with a focus on the raw markup required for basic shapes and styling. The code relies on native browser APIs—specifically the SVG namespace and standard DOM manipulation—rather than external visualization libraries, and it references a React Starter template for comparison. The approach highlights the simplicity of starting with pure SVG before introducing higher-level frameworks.

SVG Fundamentals

This example demonstrates the fundamental building blocks of SVG, showing how basic shapes, styling, and coordinate systems come together to create static vector graphics. The code uses plain SVG elements like `<circle>`, `<rect>`, and `<path>` with CSS properties such as `fill` and `stroke` to define appearance. It relies on the built-in browser DOM API for SVG manipulation, with no external visualization libraries. The example, rendered via a React starter template, provides a bare-bones HTML page structure for learning how SVG integrates with web technologies.
