A single yellow circle tracks the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, returning to the center when the pointer leaves the window. The visualization is built with React state management, using `useState` and `useCallback` to update the circle’s `cx` and `cy` coordinates on every `mousemove` event. ReactDOM renders the SVG directly, while the circle’s position is derived from the event’s `clientX` and `clientY` values. No external data is involved; the example demonstrates real-time user interaction with D3’s scalable vector graphics rendered through the React component lifecycle.

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.

Mouse Follower

A yellow circle follows the cursor across an SVG canvas, updating its center position in real time as the mouse moves. The visualization uses React's state management with an `onMouseMove` event handler to track client coordinates, while D3.js provides the SVG rendering environment. The circle's position is bound to the mouse coordinates via React's `useState` and `useCallback`, creating a direct one-to-one mapping between input and visual output.

Mouse Follower

A yellow circle follows the mouse cursor as it moves across an SVG canvas. The visualization uses React state management with the `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to track the cursor's `clientX` and `clientY` coordinates, updating the circle's `cx` and `cy` attributes via React's render cycle. The SVG is rendered by ReactDOM, while D3 v5 is loaded but not directly used in this example. The circle maintains a fixed radius of 30 pixels and responds immediately to pointer movement within the 960×500 viewport.

Mouse Follower

A yellow circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas in this React-based visualization. The circle’s position updates in real time based on the mouse’s clientX and clientY coordinates, tracked through React’s useState hook. The component renders a single `<circle>` element inside an `<svg>` that listens for mousemove events, using D3 v7 only for library loading. The rendering relies entirely on React’s state management rather than D3’s selection or transition methods, with no external data source.

Mouse Follower

A single yellow circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas. The visualization uses React state to track the cursor's clientX and clientY coordinates and passes them as the circle's cx and cy attributes. The index.js file imports React's useState and useCallback hooks, while D3 is loaded but not directly used in the visible logic. The example demonstrates a lightweight approach to binding mouse events to SVG elements within a React component structure.

Mouse Follower

A yellow circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas. The visualization tracks pointer movement and repositions the circle to match the cursor’s coordinates in real time. Built with React, it uses the `useState` hook to store the mouse position and an `onMouseMove` event handler on the SVG element to update that state. The circle renders via ReactDOM with SVG markup, and its `cx` and `cy` attributes are bound to the current mouse coordinates.

Mouse Follower

A yellow circle follows the mouse cursor across a blank SVG canvas. The visualization directly maps the cursor's client coordinates to the circle's center position, creating an immediate and direct interactive response. Built with React, the application uses the `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to manage and update the mouse position state, while the SVG `onMouseMove` event triggers the state changes. The circle is rendered as an SVG element with a fixed radius, and the code initializes the circle at the center of a 960 by 500 viewport.

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.
