A radial Moiré pattern emerges from alternating black and white arcs generated with d3.arc and d3.pie, rendered as SVG paths within a React component. The 3,000 data points are mapped to equal-value pie slices, creating concentric bands whose interference produces the glitchy visual effect. Because rendering relies on SVG, the result reveals quirks in how the SVG engine handles overlapping shapes at scale.

Demonstration of a radial Moiré pattern.

Since this is using SVG, we see some glitchy behavior that uncovers some mysteries about how the SVG rendering engine works.
