This example demonstrates a minimal starting point for a D3.js project, rendering an empty SVG canvas at 960 by 500 pixels with a hidden-page layout. The page loads D3 v5 from a CDN and immediately executes `console.log(d3)` in both a linked external script and an inline script, verifying that the library is available in the browser’s console. The code uses the SVG rendering approach and relies on D3’s core API for library initialization, though it performs no data binding or visualization yet.
