A circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, with React managing its position in real time. The component uses React’s `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to track pointer coordinates from the `onMouseMove` event, updating the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes accordingly. The example demonstrates a minimal integration of D3.js (v5) with React, where D3 provides no visual functions—only the SVG rendering is handled by React, and the circle radius is fixed at 30 pixels. The canvas is 960 by 500 pixels, and the initial cursor position starts at the center.

A circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas in real time. The React component tracks pointer coordinates through the SVG `onMouseMove` event handler, updating the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes. Using React hooks like `useState` and `useCallback`, the app re-renders only on cursor movement, while D3 v5 is loaded but unused in this minimal interaction. The initial mouse position is centered at (480, 250) within a 960 by 500 viewport, with the circle’s radius set to 30 pixels.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor as it moves across an SVG canvas. The React component tracks pointer coordinates via the `onMouseMove` event and updates the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes through `useState` and `useCallback`. Rendered with D3 v5’s SVG helpers within React 16.9, the example demonstrates real-time state-driven positioning without external data.

A circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, centering itself on the pointer’s coordinates. The example demonstrates React state management to track mouse movement, updating the circle’s position on every move event. It uses React’s `useState` and `useCallback` hooks alongside D3 v6 for the SVG rendering, with an initial circle centered at 480, 250. The visualization responds interactively in real time, showcasing a minimal integration of React and D3 for dynamic graphics.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor across a full-screen SVG canvas. The circle's position is bound to the mouse coordinates, updated on every mouse move event. The example uses React with a `useState` hook to manage the cursor position, and the ReactDOM `render` method to mount the component. D3.js is loaded but not actively used in the rendering logic, which relies solely on native SVG elements and React event handling. The circle is drawn with a fixed radius of 30 pixels.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor within an SVG canvas, updating its position in real time as the pointer moves. Built with React, the application tracks mouse coordinates using an `onMouseMove` event handler and stores them in state via `useState`. The circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes are bound to this state, and the SVG is rendered through ReactDOM. D3.js is included but not used for drawing; the interaction relies solely on React’s event system.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, updating its position in real time to mirror the pointer’s movement. The visualization uses React’s `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to track cursor coordinates (`clientX`, `clientY`) and re-render the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes on every mouse move. The SVG element handles the `onMouseMove` event, while the circle’s radius is fixed at 30 pixels. The code imports React, ReactDOM, and D3 v5, though no D3-specific functions are invoked beyond the library’s inclusion.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas. The example demonstrates React state management with D3.js in the background, using React `useState` and `useCallback` to track cursor coordinates via the `onMouseMove` event. The circle’s position updates in real time through React’s re-rendering, with its `cx` and `cy` attributes bound to the current mouse position. It renders a single circle with a radius of 30 pixels on a 960 by 500 viewport.

Mouse Follower

This example shows a single circle that follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas. Built with React and D3 v5, it uses React’s `useState` hook to track the cursor’s clientX and clientY coordinates on every `mousemove` event, then re-renders the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes to match. The `useCallback` hook memoizes the event handler, and the initial mouse position is set to the canvas center. The rendering uses ReactDOM to mount the SVG, with no external data source.
