A white circle follows the mouse cursor across a purple background, leaving a trail of its previous positions. The visualization uses d3-selection’s `select` and `selectAll` with a `.join()` pattern to append or update a single circle element on each `mousemove` event. The circle’s coordinates are stored in a state object and updated via a `setState` callback, while `window.innerWidth` and `window.innerHeight` set the SVG size. This demonstrates a simple, event-driven rendering loop with D3 v7.

Trail

A circle follows the mouse across a full-window SVG. The visualization uses D3 v7’s `select` to append an SVG and a single circle, then listens to `mousemove` events on the SVG to update the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes. The page is styled with CSS to remove margins and hide scrollbars. No data source is involved; the piece demonstrates direct mouse-driven DOM attribute updates with D3’s event handling.

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 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

This example demonstrates a mouse-following circle that changes position with cursor movement and shifts to a random color on click. The visualization starts with a blue circle centered in the viewport, then uses d3’s `select`, `pointer`, and `join` methods to render an SVG and update its attributes. State changes follow immutable update patterns, spreading the previous state and overriding specific properties like `x`, `y`, and `color`. The code also relies on container dimensions and event listeners for `mousemove` and `click` interactions.

Mouse Follower

A single black circle follows the cursor across a full-screen SVG canvas, updating its position in real time. The visualization demonstrates a minimal state-driven D3 render loop, where a `mousemove` event listener calls a `setState` function to update the pointer coordinates. The `viz` function uses a data join to create and update the circle element, with `d3.select` handling the SVG selection and attribute updates for the x and y positions. The example relies on D3 v7 and a custom render pattern that re-renders the entire visualization on each state change.

Make something

This example demonstrates a simple interactive visualization where a circle follows the mouse cursor across the screen, using a unidirectional data flow pattern. The code uses d3-selection’s `select` and `selectAll` with data joins to create and update an SVG element. Mouse movement events trigger a `setState` function that updates an immutable state object with the cursor’s `x` and `y` coordinates, which then re-renders the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes. The rendered circle has a fixed radius of 50 pixels, and the SVG fills the entire viewport.

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 Simple

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.
