This example demonstrates a circle that tracks the user’s mouse movements across an SVG canvas, updating its position in real time. Using React’s `useState` and `useCallback` hooks, the app captures `clientX` and `clientY` coordinates from the `onMouseMove` event and passes them as `cx` and `cy` attributes to the circle element. The rendering relies on React 16.9 and ReactDOM, with no additional data sources or visualization libraries involved.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, updating its position in real time to mirror the pointer’s location. The visualization demonstrates React’s `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to manage mouse coordinates and re-render the circle on every move event. Built with React 16.9 and rendered as SVG, the component listens for `onMouseMove` on the `<svg>` element, extracting `clientX` and `clientY` to set the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes. The example uses no external data source, relying solely on user interaction.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, showing real-time pointer tracking in React. The visualization uses React hooks—`useState` to store the mouse position and `useCallback` for an `onMouseMove` event handler that updates the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes. It renders via ReactDOM into the DOM and depends on React 16.9's production UMD builds, with the SVG circle initially centered on a 960×500 viewport. The code directly maps `clientX` and `clientY` from the event to the circle’s coordinates.

Mouse Follower

A circle tracks the mouse cursor across a 960 by 500 SVG canvas, updating its position in real time as the user moves the pointer. The React component uses `useState` to store the mouse coordinates and `useCallback` to handle the `onMouseMove` event, passing the event's `clientX` and `clientY` values to reposition the circle via its `cx` and `cy` attributes. It renders with React 17 and D3 v7.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor across a large SVG canvas, updating its position in real time based on pointer movement. The example uses React state and the `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to track the mouse coordinates, passing them to the SVG circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes. Rendering is handled via ReactDOM, with the SVG element listening for `onMouseMove` events to trigger position updates.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor inside an SVG canvas, updating its position in real time as the user moves over the 960×500 drawing area. The example demonstrates React state management with `useState` and event handling via the `onMouseMove` callback, rendering the circle as an SVG `<circle>` element. It uses React 16.9 and ReactDOM to mount the component, with the circle’s coordinates derived directly from the browser’s `clientX` and `clientY` event properties.

Mouse Follower

A React component renders an SVG circle that tracks the mouse position across a 960×500 canvas. The App uses the useState and useCallback hooks to store and update the cursor’s clientX and clientY coordinates on every mousemove event. The circle’s cx and cy attributes are bound to this state, making it follow the pointer in real time. The rendering relies on ReactDOM and SVG elements, with no external data sources beyond user interaction.

Mouse Follower

This example shows a circle that continuously follows the mouse cursor across a full-window SVG canvas. Built with React, it tracks the cursor’s `clientX` and `clientY` coordinates through an `onMouseMove` event handler, storing the position in state via `useState` and updating the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes accordingly. The `useCallback` hook optimizes the event handler, and the component renders a single SVG `<circle>` element without any data source.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor across a full-screen SVG canvas, updating its position in real time as the pointer moves. The React app uses the `useState` hook to store the current mouse coordinates and the `useCallback` hook to define a `handleMouseMove` event handler, which reads `clientX` and `clientY` from the synthetic event. The circle, with a fixed radius of 30 pixels, is rendered via SVG’s `<circle>` element, whose `cx` and `cy` attributes are bound to the state, and the window’s dimensions determine the viewport size.
