An SVG circle tracks the mouse as it moves across a full-window canvas. The visualization updates the circle's horizontal and vertical coordinates in real time based on pointer events. Built with React's `useState` and `useCallback` hooks, the component re-renders whenever the mouse position changes. The example uses D3.js v5 for SVG rendering and React 18 for component management.

mouse follower

A single black circle on an SVG canvas tracks the user's mouse cursor in real time, creating a simple interactive visual. The example demonstrates state management in React, using the `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to update the circle's `cx` and `cy` attributes on every `mousemove` event. Rendered with SVG elements, the circle is positioned via React's `onMouseMove` handler, while D3 v5 and React 16 are loaded externally. No data source is involved; the visualization purely reacts to pointer movement within the 960 by 500 pixel viewport.

Mouse follower

A circle drawn with SVG follows the mouse cursor across a 960 by 500 pixel canvas. The visualization tracks the pointer's absolute client coordinates on every mouse movement event, updating the circle's center position accordingly. Built with React, the example uses the `useState` hook to store the current mouse position and a `useCallback` handler to update it, while the circle itself is rendered as an SVG `<circle>` element. The code relies on React 18 and D3 v7 only for DOM rendering, with no data or additional D3 visualization APIs involved.

Mouse follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor across a full-window SVG canvas, reacting in real time to pointer movement. The React component tracks mouse coordinates via the `onMouseMove` event, updating state with `useState` and `useCallback`, then re-renders the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes. The visualization uses React 16.9 and ReactDOM to render SVG elements directly in the browser.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor as it moves across an SVG canvas. The React component tracks pointer coordinates via the `onMouseMove` event and updates the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes through `useState` and `useCallback`. Rendered with D3 v5’s SVG helpers within React 16.9, the example demonstrates real-time state-driven positioning without external data.

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 circle tracks the mouse cursor across a full-window SVG canvas, responding to every pointer movement in real time. React state updates the circle’s center coordinates on each `mousemove` event, using the `useState` hook and a `useCallback` handler. The visualization renders with React 16.9 and SVG, with no external data source or animation library—only direct event-driven position updates.

Mouse follower

A circle tracks the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, reacting instantly to movement. The visualization demonstrates state management in React, using the `useState` hook to store cursor coordinates and `useCallback` to optimize the mouse-move handler. The SVG circle updates its `cx` and `cy` attributes based on those coordinates, rendered via ReactDOM. The example uses D3.js v7 only for its bundled build, while the core interaction is purely React-driven.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas. The visualization demonstrates React's state management with D3's event handling, using a `useState` hook to track cursor coordinates and a `useCallback` hook to efficiently update the circle's `cx` and `cy` attributes on every mouse move. The D3 v5 library renders the SVG element.
