This example presents a simple pseudo bar chart with five evenly spaced rectangles of descending height, all rendered in grayscale against a white background. The code uses only raw SVG elements, specifically `<svg>` and `<rect>` tags, with no JavaScript libraries or data-binding techniques. Each bar is manually positioned with explicit `x` and `y` coordinates and fixed `width` and `height` attributes, creating a static visual without scales or axes. The rendering approach relies entirely on declarative SVG markup within an HTML document.
