This example demonstrates fundamental DOM manipulation with D3.js by constructing a boba tea cup using basic SVG shapes. The visualization builds a cup, cap, straw, and tea layer with d3 selections and attribute methods, while randomly positioning black circles to represent boba pearls. Using d3.v5, the code appends elements to an SVG container and applies transforms like rotation to the straw. The rendering approach relies on static SVG geometry rather than data binding, showcasing how D3 can create custom graphics through programmatic element creation and styling.
