This example demonstrates a simple interactive visualization where a circle follows the mouse cursor within an SVG canvas. It shows how React state can track pointer position and update visual elements in real-time. The code uses React’s `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to manage the mouse coordinates from the `onMouseMove` event, and renders a single circle element with dynamic `cx` and `cy` attributes. The visualization is built with React 16.9 and rendered as SVG, with the circle starting at the center of a 960×500 pixel viewport.

Mouse Follower

This example demonstrates a simple interactive visualization inside an SVG canvas: a circle continuously follows the mouse cursor across the screen. It serves as a basic demonstration of handling mouse events and updating React state in response to user input. Built with React and ReactDOM, the application uses the `useState` hook to track the cursor's `clientX` and `clientY` coordinates, updating them via the `handleMouseMove` callback attached to the SVG element's `onMouseMove` event. The rendered SVG circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes are bound directly to the mouse position state, causing the circle to track the pointer in real time.

Mouse Follower

This example shows a simple interactive visualization where a gray circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas. The circle starts at the center of a 960 by 500 pixel viewport and repositions instantly whenever the pointer moves. The code uses React's `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to track mouse coordinates via the SVG `onMouseMove` event, updating the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes through ReactDOM rendering. It demonstrates basic state-driven SVG updates in a React application.

Mouse Follower

This example demonstrates a simple interactive visualization where a circle follows the mouse cursor across the screen. The circle’s position updates in real-time as the user moves the mouse, with its center coordinated to the cursor’s coordinates. The code uses React with the `useState` and `useCallback` hooks for state management, and renders the circle as an SVG element. The `onMouseMove` event handler captures the cursor position and updates the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, updating its position in real time. The visualization uses React state management with the `useState` hook to track mouse coordinates, which are captured via the SVG element's `onMouseMove` event handler. The circle is rendered as an SVG `<circle>` element, with its `cx` and `cy` attributes bound to the current mouse position. The example demonstrates simple interactive rendering in React, with no external data sources, relying solely on user input to drive the visualization.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, updating its position in real-time in response to mouse movement. The example demonstrates state management in React, using the `useState` hook to store mouse coordinates and the `useCallback` hook to handle the `onMouseMove` event. The circle is rendered as an SVG `<circle>` element within a React component, with the width and height set to 960 and 500 pixels. The visualization uses React's declarative rendering to update the circle's `cx` and `cy` attributes as the mouse moves.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor as it moves across an SVG canvas, updating its position in real time. The visualization uses React state via `useState` and `useCallback` to track mouse coordinates from the `onMouseMove` event, and renders the circle with SVG markup. The React DOM library mounts the component to the page, while the circle’s center is set to the current pointer location. This demonstrates a simple interactive pattern where user input directly drives visual output.

Mouse Follower

An interactive SVG visualization renders a single circle that follows the mouse cursor across a 960-by-500 canvas. The React component tracks pointer movement via the `onMouseMove` event and updates the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes through `useState` and `useCallback`. Initially positioned at the canvas center, the circle moves smoothly with the cursor. The example demonstrates state-driven rendering in React 17 with D3 v7, using plain SVG elements rather than data joins or scales. No external data source is involved; the visualization purely reacts to user input.

Mouse Follower

This example demonstrates how React state can drive an interactive SVG visualization: a single circle follows the mouse cursor across a 960x500 viewport. On every mousemove event on the SVG, the `handleMouseMove` callback updates the `mousePosition` state with the cursor’s client coordinates, and React re-renders the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes accordingly. It uses React 16.9 with hooks (`useState`, `useCallback`) and renders directly to SVG via `ReactDOM.render`.
