A fixed radar-like SVG tracks the cursor across a 960 by 500 viewport, drawing an inner circle at the center that follows the pointer’s coordinates. Written with React 16.9 and rendered as an SVG `<circle>`, the interaction uses an `onMouseMove` event handler on the root `<svg>` element, logging `clientX` and `clientY` to the console while the yellow-outlined circle visually responds to the mouse position.

Mouse Follower

A yellow circle with a black outline follows the mouse cursor across a 960-by-500 SVG canvas. The example uses React's `useState` and a callback to track the cursor's `clientX` and `clientY` coordinates, updating the circle's `cx` and `cy` attributes directly on mouse movement. This demonstrates interactive SVG rendering within a React component, with the circle’s position driven entirely by user input.

Mouse Follower

A yellow circle follows the mouse cursor across a blank SVG canvas. The example demonstrates mouse tracking in React by updating the circle’s center coordinates on every pointer move. It uses React’s `useState` and `useCallback` hooks, with the `onMouseMove` event handler reading `clientX` and `clientY` from the event object to re-render the circle. The SVG is rendered via ReactDOM, and the initial circle position is centered within a 960×500 viewport.

Mouse Follower

A yellow circle follows the mouse as it moves across a blank SVG canvas. The visualization tracks the cursor position in real time, rendering the circle at the exact coordinates of the pointer. Built with React and ReactDOM, it uses SVG’s `onMouseMove` event handler to capture the cursor’s client coordinates and update the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes. The circle maintains a constant radius of 30 pixels within a 960 by 500 viewport.

Mouse Follower

A single yellow circle with a black stroke follows the mouse cursor across a full-screen SVG canvas. The circle’s position updates to the exact coordinates of the pointer via React’s `useState` and `useCallback` hooks, which capture `clientX` and `clientY` from the `onMouseMove` event. The application uses ReactDOM to render the SVG element, with the viewport dimensions derived from `window.innerWidth` and `window.innerHeight`. The example demonstrates basic pointer tracking with a minimal, event-driven React component.

A yellow circle tracks the cursor's position within an SVG canvas. The circle's center coordinates are updated with each mouse movement, creating a direct one-to-one mapping between the pointer and the graphic. Built with React, the application uses the `useState` hook to store the current mouse coordinates and the `useCallback` hook to manage the event handler. The SVG element listens for the `onMouseMove` event, and ReactDOM renders the circle with a 30-pixel radius onto the 960 by 500 pixel canvas.

Mouse Follower

An interactive SVG circle in yellow follows the mouse pointer inside a 960×500 pixel viewport, updating its center coordinates in real time. Built with React and ReactDOM, it uses the `useCallback` hook to handle the SVG `onMouseMove` event, reading `clientX` and `clientY` from the event to update state via `setMousePosition`. The circle's radius is fixed at 30 pixels.

Mouse Follower

A single SVG circle follows the mouse cursor across a 960 by 500 viewport, updating its position in real time. The React component uses the `useState` hook to store the cursor’s `clientX` and `clientY` coordinates and the `useCallback` hook to handle the `onMouseMove` event on the SVG element. Each mouse movement re-renders the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes, creating a direct, immediate visual response without animation or interpolation. The rendering relies solely on React’s declarative SVG output.

Mouse Follower

A yellow circle follows the mouse cursor within a fixed 960-by-500 SVG canvas. The React application tracks the pointer's client coordinates on the `svg` element and updates the circle's center position accordingly. The visualization uses React's `useState` and `onMouseMove` event handler, with `ReactDOM.render` to mount the component. The circle has a radius of 30 pixels and no fill color, rendering as a thin outline that trails the mouse movements across the blank white background.
