A circle follows the mouse cursor across the screen, updating its position in real time. The example integrates D3.js selection and event handling within a React component, using React's `useState` and `useLayoutEffect` to manage state and trigger re-renders. The `viz.js` module binds a D3 `mousemove` event to an SVG and updates the circle's `cx` and `cy` attributes based on cursor coordinates. Initial state is set to the center of the window before any mouse movement occurs.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse pointer across the screen, updating its position in real time based on cursor movement. The visualization demonstrates unidirectional data flow with D3 v7 and React, where mouse events trigger state updates that re-render the circle’s coordinates. The code uses d3-selection `select` and `join` to bind SVG elements, with an initial state centered in the viewport. The React framework manages state through a `setState` callback, while the D3 `mousemove` event handler captures pointer positions.

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 mouse follower example renders a single SVG circle that tracks the cursor's position within a 960 by 500 viewport. Using React state hooks (`useState` and `useCallback`), the component updates the circle's `cx` and `cy` coordinates on every `mousemove` event. D3 version 7 is loaded for potential utilities, though the interaction relies solely on React's event handling and SVG rendering. The circle starts centered and moves fluidly, demonstrating simple interaction between DOM events and React's declarative UI updates.

Mouse Follower

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 React-controlled SVG circle follows the mouse cursor across a fixed 960×500 viewport. Mouse coordinates are captured by the SVG’s `onMouseMove` event, processed via a `useCallback` hook, and stored in React state with `useState`. Each movement updates the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes, causing a re-render. The example demonstrates direct state-driven SVG updates without D3-specific interaction APIs, relying solely on React’s event handling and DOM reconciliation.

Mouse Follower

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.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, updating its position in real time as the pointer moves. The example uses React state to track the mouse coordinates via an `onMouseMove` event handler, which calls `setMousePosition` to re-render the circle at the new location. The SVG element defines the drawing area, and the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes are bound to the state values. No data is loaded; the visualization demonstrates interactive state management with React’s `useState` and `useCallback` hooks within a D3-enabled SVG environment.

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.
