A smiley face circle follows the mouse cursor across a 960×500 SVG canvas. The visualization tracks pointer movement and repositions the circle's center to match the cursor's coordinates in real time. Implemented with React's `useState` and `onMouseMove` event handler, the circle's `cx` and `cy` attributes update from the mouse's `clientX` and `clientY` values. D3's `arc` function and React's `ReactDOM.render` manage the circle's geometry and rendering, while the SVG element provides the drawing surface.

Mouse follower

A smiley face rendered as a single SVG circle follows the mouse cursor across a 960×500 canvas. The React component tracks pointer coordinates via an `onMouseMove` handler and updates its position through `useState`, while D3’s `arc` utility is imported but unused. The circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes are bound directly to the current mouse position, creating a smooth, direct mapping between input and visual output.

Mouse follower

A smiley face rendered as an SVG circle follows the mouse cursor across the browser viewport. The React application tracks pointer movement via an `onMouseMove` handler, updating the circle's `cx` and `cy` coordinates with the cursor's client position. The visualization uses React's `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to manage state, and D3.js is loaded for potential data manipulation, though the current implementation relies solely on SVG primitives within a React component.

Mouse Follower

A smiley face follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, its position updating in real time with every pointer movement. The example combines React 16.9's `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to manage the circle's `cx` and `cy` attributes, while D3 v5 supplies the `arc` import. Rendering is handled through ReactDOM's `render` method, which places an interactive `<svg>` with an `onMouseMove` listener into the page root.

Mouse Follower

A smiley face visualization renders a circle that follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas. Using React's `useState` and `useCallback` hooks, the application tracks `clientX` and `clientY` coordinates from the `onMouseMove` event, updating the circle's `cx` and `cy` attributes in real time. The visualization is built with ReactDOM, which renders the SVG element directly into the HTML document, providing immediate interactive feedback as the user moves the pointer.

Mouse Follower

A smiley face follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, with its position updating in real time. The visualization uses React state and the `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to track mouse coordinates, which are passed to an SVG `<circle>` element’s `cx` and `cy` attributes. The `onMouseMove` event handler on the `<svg>` element triggers the state update, while ReactDOM renders the component. No D3 APIs are used; the example relies purely on React’s declarative rendering with SVG.

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

This is a React application that renders a single smiley face as an SVG circle, which follows the mouse cursor across the screen. The component tracks pointer movement through React's `useState` and `useCallback` hooks, updating the circle's center coordinates with each mouse event. The SVG is rendered with React, while the page loads React and D3 v5 from CDN links in the HTML. The interactive behavior is driven entirely by React's event handling, not by D3's own mouse utilities.

A smiley face is not shown; instead, a single circle follows the mouse cursor across a 900-by-500 SVG canvas. The circle’s fill color is computed from the cursor’s x and y coordinates using three separate `d3.scaleLinear` instances, mapping positions to RGB channel values. The React app uses the `useState` hook to update the circle’s center on every mouse move, with the D3 scales applied inside the `rgbScale` helper. The example demonstrates mixing D3’s scaling functions with React’s event handling for interactive SVG graphics.
