This example demonstrates a minimal D3.js setup that initializes an SVG canvas and prepares a blank visualization area. It shows how to establish a chart’s margin convention and dimensions (960×500 pixels) while logging a confirmation message to the console. The code uses `d3.select` to append an SVG element, applies width and height attributes, and wraps it in a group with a translated transform. No data is loaded or rendered; the visualization merely lays the groundwork for future drawing, highlighting the basic scaffolding required before adding scales, axes, or marks.
