This example displays a single circle that follows the mouse cursor across the full browser window. The circle is rendered as an SVG element with its position updated on every mouse movement event. Built with React, the code uses the `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to manage and optimize the cursor position state, while `ReactDOM.render` mounts the component. The SVG viewport is set to the window’s dimensions, and the circle’s center coordinates are directly bound to the tracked mouse position.

Mouse Follower

This example shows a single circle that follows the mouse cursor across the full browser window. The circle’s position updates in real time as the user moves the pointer over an SVG canvas. Built with React (version 16.9.0) and ReactDOM, the component uses the `useState` hook to store the mouse coordinates and the `useCallback` hook to handle `mousemove` events, retrieving `clientX` and `clientY` from the event object. The SVG is sized to `window.innerWidth` and `window.innerHeight`, with the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes bound to the current mouse position.

Mouse Follower

This example shows a single circle that follows the mouse cursor across the full browser window. The circle’s position updates live through React state, using the `clientX` and `clientY` values from the `onMouseMove` event on an SVG element. The code renders the circle as an SVG `<circle>` with React 16.9, and the state hook `useState` manages the cursor coordinates. The visualization demonstrates a simple interactive mapping between pointer movement and SVG shape placement.

Mouse Follower

A full-screen SVG circle follows the mouse cursor in real time, with its center tied directly to the pointer’s clientX and clientY coordinates. Built with React, the example uses the `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to track mouse position and update the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes on every move. Rendering is handled via ReactDOM to an SVG element that spans the entire browser window, with no explicit data source beyond user input.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor across a full-screen SVG canvas. The circle's position is bound to the mouse coordinates, updated on every mouse move event. The example uses React with a `useState` hook to manage the cursor position, and the ReactDOM `render` method to mount the component. D3.js is loaded but not actively used in the rendering logic, which relies solely on native SVG elements and React event handling. The circle is drawn with a fixed radius of 30 pixels.

Mouse Follower

A React component renders an SVG circle that follows the mouse cursor across the full browser window. The circle's position updates continuously through React state and the onMouseMove event handler, using useState and useCallback hooks. The SVG viewport matches the window dimensions, and the circle starts at the center before responding to pointer movements.

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

This example shows a single circle that follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas. Built with React and D3 v5, it uses React’s `useState` hook to track the cursor’s clientX and clientY coordinates on every `mousemove` event, then re-renders the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes to match. The `useCallback` hook memoizes the event handler, and the initial mouse position is set to the canvas center. The rendering uses ReactDOM to mount the SVG, with no external data source.

Mouse Follower

This example displays a single black circle that follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas. The circle’s position updates live based on the cursor’s coordinates, which are tracked through React state. The code uses React’s `useState` and `useCallback` hooks, an SVG `<circle>` element, and D3.js version 5 for the underlying library. The rendering relies on ReactDOM to mount the component, with no additional data sources or animations beyond the direct mouse-following interaction.
