The example showcases circular transitions of data-driven points using D3.js, contrasting a default linear interpolation with a custom tween that animates along the shortest angular path. Two SVG canvases display circles that jump between random angles on a fixed radius. The left pane uses standard `transition().attr` calls, while the right pane employs a custom `transition().tween()` with D3's `interpolate` to handle angle wrapping and ensure smooth, direct movement across the circumference. The code updates the data on button click, demonstrating the API's flexibility for controlling animation behavior.
