This example shows a single black circle centered on a full-screen SVG that tracks the mouse position, logging each movement’s clientX and clientY coordinates to the console. Built with React 16.9 and ReactDOM, it uses an SVG onMouseMove event handler to capture pointer movement, with the circle’s position fixed at the viewport center rather than following the cursor. The rendering relies on React’s declarative JSX syntax within an SVG element, and the layout is adjusted to the browser’s window dimensions.

Mouse Follower

A single black circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, with React tracking pointer events to update its position. The example uses React's `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to store the `clientX` and `clientY` coordinates on every `onMouseMove`, re-rendering the circle's `cx` and `cy` attributes. Rendered via ReactDOM into a 960×500 SVG, it demonstrates a minimal interactive data-visualization pattern without any external data source.

Mouse follower

A single black circle follows the mouse cursor across a blank SVG canvas, updating its position in real time. The React app tracks pointer coordinates through an `onMouseMove` event handler and stores them in state with `useState`, then re-renders the circle using the `clientX` and `clientY` values. The example demonstrates a basic interactive pattern using React’s `useCallback` and ReactDOM, with SVG circle elements for rendering.

Mouse follower

A single black circle follows the mouse pointer across a blank SVG canvas. The React component tracks cursor coordinates through an `onMouseMove` event handler, storing them in state via `useState` and updating the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes. The app uses React 16.9 and renders the SVG directly with ReactDOM.

Mouse Follower

This example displays a static SVG circle at the center of the viewport, with mouse movement tracked and logged to the console. Built with React and D3, the circle is rendered via JSX inside an SVG element whose onMouseMove handler captures the cursor position. The React event handler logs clientX and clientY coordinates, demonstrating basic event binding and state management without animating the circle itself.

Mouse Follower

A React and SVG visualization renders a single black circle that follows the mouse cursor across a 960 by 500 pixel canvas. The circle’s position updates in response to mouse movement events handled through React’s `onMouseMove` callback, with state managed via the `useState` hook. The application uses ReactDOM to render the SVG element, and the circle’s center coordinates are dynamically set to the cursor’s client-space position, creating a direct and immediate tracking effect.

Mouse Follower

A mouse follower renders a single black circle on an SVG canvas that tracks the pointer’s position in real time. It visually demonstrates interactive coordinate tracking, updating the circle’s center to match the cursor’s clientX and clientY location. The React component uses the useState hook to store the mouse position and a useCallback handler on the SVG’s onMouseMove event to update state on every movement. Rendered via ReactDOM, the SVG circle’s cx and cy attributes are set from this state, with d3.v5 loaded for potential utility but not directly used in this logic.

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.

A single circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, responding to every pointer movement. Built with React 16.9, the app tracks the cursor’s clientX and clientY coordinates via an onMouseMove event handler, storing them in state with useState and updating the circle’s cx and cy attributes accordingly. The useCallback hook optimizes the event handler, while ReactDOM renders the interactive SVG element.
