A single circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, responding in real time to pointer movement. The example demonstrates integrating D3.js with React hooks, using React's `useState` to track mouse coordinates and `useCallback` to handle the `mousemove` event. D3's `arc` API is imported but not used in the visible logic. The circle's position updates directly from the browser's `clientX` and `clientY` values, rendered as a simple SVG `<circle>` element without animation or data binding.

A circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, updating its position in real time. The example uses React's `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to manage mouse coordinates, with the `onMouseMove` event handler updating the circle's center. D3's `arc` module is imported but not used, while the SVG `<circle>` element is rendered directly through ReactDOM. The visualization demonstrates a simple interactive pattern without any data source or animation logic beyond direct mouse tracking.

A circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, updating its position in real time. The example demonstrates React state management with a `useState` hook and the `onMouseMove` event handler, which captures the cursor's client coordinates and passes them to the circle's `cx` and `cy` attributes. React re-renders the SVG element on each mouse movement, while D3's `arc` import is present but unused, and no external data source is involved.

A React application renders an SVG circle that tracks the mouse cursor in real time. The circle's position updates via React's `useState` and `useCallback` hooks, which handle `mousemove` events on the SVG element. The example demonstrates simple interactive rendering with D3's `arc` import unused, relying instead on React's declarative state management. The visualization uses a 960x500 SVG canvas with a fixed circle radius, showing how React can manage dynamic visual updates without explicit D3 selection or transition APIs.

A circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, creating a simple interactive visual response. The React application tracks cursor position through an `onMouseMove` event handler, updating state via the `useState` and `useCallback` hooks, and renders the circle using D3 v7 within an SVG element. The circle’s center coordinates are dynamically bound to the latest mouse position, with a fixed radius of 30 pixels.

A smiling face follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, responding instantly to pointer movement. The example demonstrates a minimal React integration with D3, using React's `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to track mouse coordinates and re-render the circle's position. Rendered as a single SVG circle, it relies on D3 v5's `arc` import, though the visible shape is a simple circle rather than an arc. The code pairs React 16.9 with d3.min.js, updating the circle's `cx` and `cy` attributes via React state on every mousemove event.

A React-controlled SVG circle follows the user's mouse position across a 960×500 canvas, updating its coordinates on every `mousemove` event via the `useState` and `useCallback` hooks. The code imports `arc` from D3 v5 but does not use it, relying instead on React's synthetic event handling and direct SVG attribute updates. The circle’s center is bound to `mousePosition`, with an initial default at the canvas midpoint, and the page hides browser scrolling for a focused interactive demonstration.

A circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, with React managing its position in real time. The component uses React’s `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to track pointer coordinates from the `onMouseMove` event, updating the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes accordingly. The example demonstrates a minimal integration of D3.js (v5) with React, where D3 provides no visual functions—only the SVG rendering is handled by React, and the circle radius is fixed at 30 pixels. The canvas is 960 by 500 pixels, and the initial cursor position starts at the center.

A single circle tracks the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, moving to follow the pointer’s exact coordinates. The example uses React state management with `useState` and `useCallback` to update the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes on every `mousemove` event. It renders with D3’s `arc` import unused, relying instead on a plain SVG circle. The visualization demonstrates basic interaction and state-driven DOM updates within a React component.
