A single black circle follows the mouse cursor across an empty SVG canvas. The circle's position is updated in real time as the cursor moves, using React's `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to track `clientX` and `clientY` coordinates. The example renders with `ReactDOM.render` and imports `arc` from D3 v5, though the visible output is purely a responsive circle.

Mouse Follower

This example displays a single black circle that follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas. The circle’s position updates live based on the cursor’s coordinates, which are tracked through React state. The code uses React’s `useState` and `useCallback` hooks, an SVG `<circle>` element, and D3.js version 5 for the underlying library. The rendering relies on ReactDOM to mount the component, with no additional data sources or animations beyond the direct mouse-following interaction.

Mouse Follower

A black circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas. The visualization uses React state to track the cursor's position and updates the circle's center coordinates in real time. The code leverages React hooks like `useState` and `useCallback`, with the `arc` function imported from d3, though only a standard `circle` element is rendered. The SVG's `onMouseMove` handler drives the interaction, displaying a simple, responsive pointer-tracking effect.

Mouse Follower

A single black circle follows the mouse as it moves across an SVG canvas. The React component tracks pointer coordinates through an `onMouseMove` event handler and updates the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes via React state. The example imports the `arc` function from d3 but does not use it, relying instead on plain SVG rendering and React’s `useState` and `useCallback` hooks for interactivity.

Mouse Follower

A single black circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, with React tracking pointer events to update its position. The example uses React's `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to store the `clientX` and `clientY` coordinates on every `onMouseMove`, re-rendering the circle's `cx` and `cy` attributes. Rendered via ReactDOM into a 960×500 SVG, it demonstrates a minimal interactive data-visualization pattern without any external data source.

Mouse Follower

A black circle follows the mouse cursor across a blank SVG canvas, centering itself on the pointer's exact coordinates. The visualization demonstrates a simple interactive loop using React's `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to track `clientX` and `clientY` positions from a mouse move event, while D3 v6 handles SVG rendering. The circle has a fixed radius of 30 pixels and starts at the canvas center before responding to user movement.

Mouse Follower

A black circle follows the mouse cursor across a full-screen SVG, updating its position in real time as the cursor moves. The example uses React's `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to track the cursor's `clientX` and `clientY` coordinates, which are then passed as `cx` and `cy` attributes to the SVG `<circle>` element. The circle renders dynamically within an SVG canvas sized to the browser window, with ReactDOM mounting the component to manage updates.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse as it moves across an SVG canvas, using React's `useState` and `useCallback` to track the pointer's `clientX` and `clientY` coordinates. The example renders a single black-stroked circle via ReactDOM into an HTML page with CSS resets, demonstrating a minimal interactive visualization with no external data source.

Mouse Follower

A single black circle tracks the mouse across an SVG canvas, smoothly following the cursor’s exact screen coordinates in real time. The React component uses the `useState` hook to store the mouse position and a `useCallback` handler for `onMouseMove` events, updating the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes. Rendering is handled by ReactDOM, with D3’s `arc` import available but unused. The minimal interaction demonstrates how React state and SVG event binding can create responsive pointer-driven visuals.
