A yellow circle with a black outline follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas. Built with React and D3 v6, the app tracks the pointer's `clientX` and `clientY` coordinates on a `mousemove` event, updating the circle's `cx` and `cy` properties via React state. The `BackgroundCircle` component renders the static yellow circle, while the main `App` component manages the interactive position updates. The visualization demonstrates real-time data binding between user input and SVG element attributes.

Mouse Follower

A yellow circle tracks the mouse cursor in real time within an SVG canvas, using React to manage the circle's position as state. The `App` component listens to `onMouseMove` events on the SVG element, updating the circle's `cx` and `cy` attributes via `useState` and `useCallback`. The example integrates React with D3 for SVG rendering, with the circle initially centered at 480,250.

Mouse Follower

A yellow circle with a black outline follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas in real time. The React app tracks pointer movements via an `onMouseMove` event handler, storing the cursor’s client coordinates in state with `useState` and `useCallback`. D3 v7 is loaded for potential utility, though the core interaction relies on React’s rendering. The circle’s center position updates reactively, creating a direct, responsive visual link between input and output.

Mouse Follower

A yellow circle tracks the user's mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, updating its position in real time. The React app listens for mouse-move events through an SVG `onMouseMove` handler, storing coordinates in state. D3.js renders the circle, while React's `useState` and `useCallback` manage the dynamic positioning.

Mouse Follower

A yellow circle follows the mouse cursor across a blank SVG canvas, updating its position in real time as the user moves the pointer. Built with React hooks, the app tracks mouse coordinates through the `onMouseMove` handler and stores them in state via `useState`. The circle re-renders at the new location on every movement event, demonstrating a simple interactive visualization that combines React's declarative rendering with D3's SVG utilities.

Mouse Follower

A yellow circle follows the mouse cursor across a blank SVG canvas. The visualization directly maps the cursor's client coordinates to the circle's center position, creating an immediate and direct interactive response. Built with React, the application uses the `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to manage and update the mouse position state, while the SVG `onMouseMove` event triggers the state changes. The circle is rendered as an SVG element with a fixed radius, and the code initializes the circle at the center of a 960 by 500 viewport.

Mouse Follower

A yellow circle follows the mouse cursor across a blank SVG canvas, tracking every movement in real time. The visualization demonstrates React state management, where mouse coordinates update the circle's position via the `useState` and `useCallback` hooks. Rendered as an SVG element, the circle's `cx` and `cy` attributes are bound to the current cursor position. The example uses React 16.9 and D3 v5, with the D3 `arc` function imported but unused, relying instead on React's event handling for interactivity.

Mouse Follower

A yellow circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas. Built with React, the app tracks cursor coordinates via the `onMouseMove` event and stores them in state using the `useState` hook. The `useCallback` hook optimizes the event handler, and `ReactDOM.render` mounts the component. The SVG’s circle element updates its `cx` and `cy` attributes to match the current mouse position, creating a direct, real-time visual response.

Mouse Follower

A yellow circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas in this React-based visualization. The circle’s position updates in real time based on the mouse’s clientX and clientY coordinates, tracked through React’s useState hook. The component renders a single `<circle>` element inside an `<svg>` that listens for mousemove events, using D3 v7 only for library loading. The rendering relies entirely on React’s state management rather than D3’s selection or transition methods, with no external data source.
