This example shows a single circle following the mouse cursor as it moves across the browser window. The visualization uses D3 v7 to create an SVG canvas sized to the viewport and appends a circle element at an initial position. Through D3's event handling, the `mousemove` listener updates the circle's `cx` and `cy` attributes based on the cursor's coordinates, producing a direct and immediate tracking effect.

Mouse Follower Simple

This example demonstrates a simple interactive visualization where a circle follows the mouse cursor across the screen. The circle is initially positioned at coordinates (50,50) and updates its position in real-time in response to mouse movements. The code uses the D3.js library (v7) to select the `#app` div, append an SVG element sized to the full window dimensions, and create a circle element with a radius of 50 pixels. The visualization listens for `mousemove` events on the SVG and uses the event's x and y coordinates to update the circle's `cx` and `cy` attributes, creating a direct and responsive tracking effect.

Mouse Follower Simple

A simple interactive visualization renders a circle that follows the mouse cursor. The circle grows in radius as the user moves the mouse faster, measured via the `event.movementX` and `event.movementY` properties, with its size capped at 100 pixels. The example uses D3 v7's selection and data join methods (`select`, `selectAll`, `join`) to bind SVG elements, updating position and radius on each `mousemove` event. The circle is styled with a transparent fill and a black stroke, demonstrating dynamic SVG updates with D3.

Mouse Follower

A circle tracks the cursor across a full-screen SVG canvas. Each mouse movement updates the circle’s center coordinates via a state object and a custom `setState` callback. The visualization uses d3.v7’s `select` API to bind SVG elements and handle `mousemove` events, while `join` synchronizes the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes. The canvas resizes to the browser window dimensions.

Mouse Follower

A single circle follows the mouse cursor within an SVG canvas. The example demonstrates the basic concept of tracking pointer movement and updating a visual element's position in response. It is built with React hooks, specifically `useState` to manage the circle's coordinates and `useCallback` to handle the `onMouseMove` event, rendering the circle with SVG attributes `cx` and `cy`. The scene is initialized with the circle centered, and no external data source is used.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, updating its position in real time. The visualization is built with React and D3 v6, using React's `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to track and update the mouse coordinates from the `onMouseMove` event. The circle is rendered as an SVG element with a fixed radius, and its `cx` and `cy` attributes are bound to the current mouse position. The example demonstrates a simple interactive pattern in a React-D3 integration.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, updating its position in real time as the pointer moves. The visualization uses React state to track mouse coordinates via the `onMouseMove` event handler and renders a single `<circle>` element with D3 v7’s selection-free React integration. The SVG viewport is fixed at 960 by 500 pixels, and the circle’s center tracks the clientX and clientY values directly.

Mouse Follower

A simple interactive visualization renders a single circle that follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas. The circle’s position updates in real time, tracking the user's pointer movement. The example uses React’s `useState` and `useCallback` to manage the mouse coordinates, and renders the circle via an SVG `<circle>` element with `cx` and `cy` attributes set from the current mouse position. The `onMouseMove` event handler on the SVG element captures the cursor's `clientX` and `clientY` values, which are then used to update the circle’s location.

Mouse Follower

This example shows a single circle that continuously tracks the user’s cursor within an SVG canvas, centering itself on the mouse’s current coordinates. The visualization relies on React’s `useState` and `useCallback` to capture `clientX` and `clientY` from the SVG’s `onMouseMove` event, updating the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes in real time. Initially positioned at the canvas center, the circle reacts instantly to any pointer movement, demonstrating a minimal interactive pattern with no external data source.
