This example demonstrates a simple interactive visualization inside an SVG canvas: a circle continuously follows the mouse cursor across the screen. It serves as a basic demonstration of handling mouse events and updating React state in response to user input. Built with React and ReactDOM, the application uses the `useState` hook to track the cursor's `clientX` and `clientY` coordinates, updating them via the `handleMouseMove` callback attached to the SVG element's `onMouseMove` event. The rendered SVG circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes are bound directly to the mouse position state, causing the circle to track the pointer in real time.

Mouse Follower

This example demonstrates a simple interactive visualization where a circle follows the mouse cursor within an SVG canvas. It shows how React state can track pointer position and update visual elements in real-time. The code uses React’s `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to manage the mouse coordinates from the `onMouseMove` event, and renders a single circle element with dynamic `cx` and `cy` attributes. The visualization is built with React 16.9 and rendered as SVG, with the circle starting at the center of a 960×500 pixel viewport.

Mouse Follower

This example shows a simple interactive visualization where a gray circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas. The circle starts at the center of a 960 by 500 pixel viewport and repositions instantly whenever the pointer moves. The code uses React's `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to track mouse coordinates via the SVG `onMouseMove` event, updating the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes through ReactDOM rendering. It demonstrates basic state-driven SVG updates in a React application.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, updating its position in real time. The visualization uses React state management with the `useState` hook to track mouse coordinates, which are captured via the SVG element's `onMouseMove` event handler. The circle is rendered as an SVG `<circle>` element, with its `cx` and `cy` attributes bound to the current mouse position. The example demonstrates simple interactive rendering in React, with no external data sources, relying solely on user input to drive the visualization.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas. The visualization uses React state to track the cursor's clientX and clientY coordinates, updating them via an onMouseMove handler on the SVG element. The circle’s position is bound to this state, and React re-renders the SVG circle at the new coordinates on each mouse movement. The example demonstrates a simple interactive pattern with React and SVG, using the useState and useCallback hooks to manage and optimize the mouse-tracking behavior.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, updating its position in real time based on pointer movement. The visualization demonstrates mouse-event handling and state-driven rendering with React, using the `useState` hook to store the cursor coordinates and `onMouseMove` to update them. ReactDOM renders an SVG circle whose `cx` and `cy` attributes are bound to the tracked position, with the viewport dimensions fixed at 960 by 500 pixels. No data source or external computation is involved; the example relies solely on React's declarative update cycle.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas that fills the browser window, updating its position in real time. The visualization demonstrates React state management with the `useState` hook, tracking mouse coordinates via an `onMouseMove` event handler on the SVG element. React and ReactDOM render the circle at the cursor's `clientX` and `clientY` positions, and the initial state places the circle at the center of the viewport before interaction begins.

Mouse Follower

This interactive visualization displays a single circle that follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas. Built with React, the example uses the `useState` hook to track the cursor's `clientX` and `clientY` coordinates within an `onMouseMove` event handler on the `<svg>` element. The circle's center position updates reactively via `setMousePosition`, rendering in real time as the user moves the mouse. The visualization demonstrates a simple, responsive interaction pattern using React's declarative state management and SVG rendering.

Mouse Follower

This example demonstrates a simple interactive visualization where a circle follows the mouse cursor across the screen. The circle’s position updates in real-time as the user moves the mouse, with its center coordinated to the cursor’s coordinates. The code uses React with the `useState` and `useCallback` hooks for state management, and renders the circle as an SVG element. The `onMouseMove` event handler captures the cursor position and updates the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes.
