A yellow circle follows the mouse cursor as it moves across a 960 by 500 SVG canvas. Built with React and D3, the component uses React’s `useState` hook to track pointer coordinates via an `onMouseMove` event handler. The circle is rendered through a reusable `BackgroundCircle` component, while separate `Eyes` and `Mouth` components, using D3’s `arc` generator, show how to structure complex SVG shapes across modular ES6 files. The visual demonstrates real-time state updates in a React-D3 integration.

Mouse Follower

A yellow circle follows the mouse cursor across a full-window SVG canvas built with React. The component tracks pointer coordinates via the `onMouseMove` event handler and updates state with `useState`, re-rendering the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes on each move. Rendering is handled by ReactDOM and React 16.9, with the SVG viewport sized to `window.innerWidth` and `window.innerHeight`. No external data source is used; the visualization purely demonstrates interactive state-driven positioning.

Mouse Follower

A yellow circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas. Built with React, the app tracks cursor coordinates via the `onMouseMove` event and stores them in state using the `useState` hook. The `useCallback` hook optimizes the event handler, and `ReactDOM.render` mounts the component. The SVG’s circle element updates its `cx` and `cy` attributes to match the current mouse position, creating a direct, real-time visual response.

A yellow circle follows the mouse cursor as it moves across an SVG canvas. The circle updates its position in real time through React’s `useState` and `useCallback` hooks, which handle mouse-move events. The example uses React and D3 v7, rendering the circle as an SVG element with coordinates derived from the `clientX` and `clientY` properties of the mouse event.

Mouse Follower

A yellow circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, with its position updating in real time as the pointer moves. The visualization combines React's state management with D3's geometric utilities, using `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to track mouse coordinates via `onMouseMove` events. D3's `arc` function is imported, though only a basic SVG circle element renders the follower. The app is built with React 16.9 and D3 v5, mounting directly to the DOM root.

Mouse Follower

A yellow circle tracks the user's mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, updating its position in real time. The React app listens for mouse-move events through an SVG `onMouseMove` handler, storing coordinates in state. D3.js renders the circle, while React's `useState` and `useCallback` manage the dynamic positioning.

Mouse Follower

A yellow circle follows the mouse cursor within an SVG canvas. The circle's position updates in real-time, moving to match the pointer's coordinates on every mouse movement. The visualization is built with React and D3.js, using a stateful component to track cursor position and render the circle. The `useState` hook maintains the current coordinates, while the `onMouseMove` event handler updates them, and ReactDOM renders the SVG element to the page.

A yellow circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas using React state to track pointer position. The component listens to `onMouseMove` events on the `<svg>` element and updates the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes accordingly. It uses React hooks (`useState`, `useCallback`) for state management, while the `d3` library is imported for its `arc`, `line`, and `range` utilities, though only the basic SVG circle rendering is demonstrated here. The initial position is centered at 480×250.

Mouse Follower

A yellow circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas. The example demonstrates real-time interaction in a React application, using state management to track the cursor's coordinates. The code builds an SVG with React's `useState` and `useCallback` hooks, updating the circle's `cx` and `cy` attributes on every `onMouseMove` event. The React component renders directly into a `div` element, with the SVG's default styling coming from D3 v5 and React 16.9.0.
