A smiley face rendered with React and SVG components follows the mouse cursor across a 960×480 canvas. The face is composed of reusable subcomponents: `BackgroundCircle`, `Eyes`, and `Mouth`, with the mouth drawn using the D3 `arc` generator. Mouse movement updates React state via `onMouseMove`, repositioning the face through a `<g>` transform in `FaceContainer`. The example demonstrates combining React's declarative component structure with D3's geometric utilities for interactive SVG visualization.

Smiley Face Follower - using hooks

A smiling face follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, updating its position in real time. The example uses React hooks, specifically `useState`, to track mouse coordinates via an `onMouseMove` event handler on the `<svg>` element, and re-renders the face accordingly. The face is composed of reusable React components—`FaceContainer`, `BackgroundCircle`, `Eyes`, and `Mouth`—where the mouth shape is generated using the `d3.arc()` function from D3 v7. All rendering is done declaratively in SVG.

mouse follower

A smiling face rendered in SVG follows the mouse across the screen. Built with React and D3 v5, the example uses D3’s `arc` generator to create the mouth, while the face circles, eyes, and stroke are defined as React components. The entire SVG group is translated to the viewport center, and the mouse follower behavior is implied by the full-screen, overflow-hidden layout, though no explicit mouse event handlers appear in the code. The static smiley face adapts to its container dimensions.

Mouse follower

A smiley face drawn with SVG circles follows the cursor inside a 960 by 500 canvas. The React component tracks mouse movements via an `onMouseMove` handler, updating state to reposition a single circle. While the static markup comments include a complete face, the active code renders only the follower circle using React's `useState` and `useCallback`. The example demonstrates combining React's declarative updates with D3's SVG scene graph for interactive visualizations.

Mouse Follower

A smiling face rendered as an SVG using React and D3 follows the mouse cursor across the screen. The face is constructed with D3’s `arc()` generator for the mouth, alongside static circle elements for the eyes and face outline. The component uses React’s declarative JSX to define the SVG structure, while D3 v5 calculates the path geometry. Mouse movement triggers a transform on the root group, shifting the entire face to track the cursor’s position. The example demonstrates hybrid React-D3 integration for interactive visualization.

Mouse Follower

A smiley face rendered in SVG follows the mouse cursor across a yellow background. The face, built from React components for the background circle, eyes, and a d3.arc-generated mouth, updates its position via React state on every mousemove event. The visualization uses React’s useCallback and useState hooks to track client coordinates, re-rendering the face container at the new location.

Mouse Follower

A smiling face drawn with React SVG components follows the mouse cursor across the screen. The face is composed of reusable React components (BackgroundCircle, Eyes, Mouth) that use d3.arc for the mouth path. The app tracks mouse movement via React’s onMouseMove and useState hook, updating the circle’s cx and cy coordinates in real time. The visualization demonstrates interactive, state-driven rendering with React 17 and d3.v7, tightly coupling user input to SVG output.

Mouse Follower

An SVG smiley face follows the mouse cursor across a hidden-overflow canvas. The face is built from React components for the background circle, eyes, and mouth, with a d3.arc path generating the curved smile. A range of 18 faces is rendered, each with randomized stroke widths, eye offsets, eye radii, and mouth dimensions, producing a playful, shifting expression as the pointer moves. The composition uses static SVG elements and React’s component model to assemble the graphic.

Mouse follower

A smiling face rendered as an SVG follows the mouse cursor across the canvas. The example combines React's `useState` and `useCallback` with D3.js to manage interactive state and coordinate updates. As the user moves the mouse, the application updates the position of the face's center, which is drawn using D3-driven SVG elements like circles for the head, eyes, and mouth. The underlying HTML hides page overflow for a full-screen, immersive interaction.
