A single black circle follows the mouse cursor across a full-window SVG canvas. The React component tracks pointer coordinates via an `onMouseMove` handler, storing them in state with the `useState` hook and updating them through a `useCallback`-wrapped event listener. The circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes are re-rendered with each mouse movement, using the viewport dimensions from `window.innerWidth` and `window.innerHeight`. The example demonstrates React’s declarative UI updates for interactive SVG visualizations.

Mouse Follower

A single black circle follows the mouse cursor across a blank SVG canvas. The React component tracks pointer coordinates via the `onMouseMove` event, updating the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes with the client’s position. Using `useState` to hold the origin and `useCallback` for the handler, it re-renders the circle at the new location on every movement. The example demonstrates dynamic SVG updates driven by React state changes without external data.

Mouse Follower

A small circle tracks the mouse in real time across a full-window SVG canvas. The React component stores the pointer’s coordinates in state via `useState` and updates them on every `mousemove` event through `useCallback`. The circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes are bound directly to the current mouse position, re-rendering on each movement. The example uses React 16.9 with `ReactDOM.render`, an SVG with inline event handling, and no external data source or animation library.

Mouse Follower

A React application renders a single SVG circle that follows the mouse cursor across the full browser window. The component tracks pointer coordinates via React's `useState` and `useCallback` hooks, updating the circle's `cx` and `cy` attributes on every `onMouseMove` event. The viewport dimensions come from `window.innerWidth` and `window.innerHeight`, with the circle initially centered before the first mouse movement. The example demonstrates reactive state-driven SVG updates in a React 16.9 environment.

Mouse follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor across a full-window SVG canvas, reacting in real time to pointer movement. The React component tracks mouse coordinates via the `onMouseMove` event, updating state with `useState` and `useCallback`, then re-renders the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes. The visualization uses React 16.9 and ReactDOM to render SVG elements directly in the browser.

Mouse Follower

A single black circle tracks the mouse across an SVG canvas, smoothly following the cursor’s exact screen coordinates in real time. The React component uses the `useState` hook to store the mouse position and a `useCallback` handler for `onMouseMove` events, updating the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes. Rendering is handled by ReactDOM, with D3’s `arc` import available but unused. The minimal interaction demonstrates how React state and SVG event binding can create responsive pointer-driven visuals.

Mouse Follower

A React component tracks the mouse position and renders a single circle that follows the cursor across an SVG canvas. The application uses React’s `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to store and update the mouse coordinates, which are passed as `cx` and `cy` attributes to the SVG circle element. The circle starts centered on a 960 by 500 pixel viewport and moves smoothly in response to `onMouseMove` events. The example demonstrates a simple interactive pattern with React and SVG without any external data sources.

Mouse Follower

A black circle follows the mouse cursor across a white SVG canvas. The React component tracks pointer movement via the `onMouseMove` event and updates the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes in response to `clientX` and `clientY` coordinates. It uses `useState` for mouse position and `useCallback` to handle event updates. The example demonstrates declarative SVG rendering with React and the ReactDOM `render` method, with a fixed canvas size of 960 by 500 pixels.

Mouse Follower

A single black circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas. The example demonstrates how React manages dynamic state alongside D3’s rendering environment. Using React’s `useState` and `useCallback` hooks, the component tracks mouse coordinates from the SVG’s `onMouseMove` event and updates the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes. The circle is rendered via React’s JSX, while D3 v5 is loaded but not directly used for interaction; the visualization relies entirely on React’s state updates to redraw the SVG element in real time.
