This example demonstrates an animated transition between a circle and a rectangle using a single SVG path element. The code uses D3 v4 to interpolate the path data, morphing the shape's geometry rather than simply adjusting rx and ry properties. By leveraging the flexibility of the path element, the transition maintains smooth, continuous curves throughout the animation. The author notes that while transitioning rect properties is simpler, using paths offers greater control, and the visualization highlights this trade-off. The animation loops, showing the circle expanding into a rectangle and back, with the path's control points recalculated to preserve a visually pleasing shape.

Transforming a circle into a rect.

Transitioning the rx and ry properties of a rect is easier than this, but something the flexibility of path element is worth the hassle.
