Empty OpenLayers canvas

I initialised an OpenLayers Map, but nothing gets drawn. The map div width and height is set. When I do inspect element, it shown that the canvas element inside the map div has "display: none". Also, none of the images I have in my layers are even loaded. What could be wrong?

I am using OpenLayers 4.

(No code shown because I will answer my own question, posting this for my future self and any others who spent hours fighting with this)

When the canvas is empty, this could be because the View is not properly initialised. See the documentation: http://openlayers.org/en/latest/apidoc/ol.View.html: center must be set, as well as one of zoom or resolution. If either of these is missing, no initialisation will be done.
