This example demonstrates how D3.js can draw and animate SVG paths from simple coordinate datasets, including diagonal and horizontal lines, multipoint curves, triangles, and rectangles. The code defines multiple data arrays and uses the `d3.svg.line()` API with various interpolation types to render static shapes, while separate functions animate paths by transitioning the `d` attribute using `transition().duration(6000)`. One animation elongates a horizontal line by mutating the dataset’s endpoint, and another shifts the line’s origin point, both relying on D3’s built-in transition system. The page sets its frame height to 1800 pixels to accommodate the multiple SVG canvases.
