A black circle on a white SVG canvas follows the mouse cursor in real time. The React component uses the `useState` hook to track the mouse position, updating it via the `onMouseMove` event handler on the SVG element. The circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes are bound to the current `clientX` and `clientY` coordinates, and both React and ReactDOM are loaded from CDN. The visualization demonstrates simple interactive state management and SVG rendering within a React application.

Mouse Tracking

A single circle tracks the mouse cursor in real time across a full-screen SVG canvas. Built with React 18, the app uses the `useState` hook to store cursor coordinates from the `onMouseMove` event on a div catcher, then passes those coordinates to an SVG circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes for immediate repositioning. The `useCallback` hook memoizes the event handler for efficiency. ReactDOM renders the component into the page’s root element.

Mouse Tracking

A circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, with its position updating in real time as the pointer moves. The visualization uses React’s `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to track `clientX` and `clientY` coordinates from the `onMouseMove` event, rendering a single `<circle>` element via ReactDOM. D3 is loaded but not directly invoked; the rendering relies solely on SVG and React state management.

Mouse Tracking

A single black circle tracks the user's mouse cursor across a blank SVG canvas. The visualization demonstrates how React state updates on every mouse movement event, with the circle's center position re-rendered accordingly. It uses React's `useState` and `useCallback` hooks along with the `onMouseMove` event handler, while D3 v5 is loaded but not directly used in the interaction logic.

Mouse tracker

The mouse tracker shows a single gray-outlined circle following the pointer across an SVG canvas. It demonstrates React’s state management by updating the circle’s center coordinates on every mouse movement via the `onMouseMove` event. The code uses React hooks `useState` and `useCallback`, with `clientX` and `clientY` from the browser event to set the new position. The visualization is purely interactive, with no external data, rendering the circle at a fixed radius of 30 pixels within a 960×500 viewport. The lightweight React setup relies on production builds of React and ReactDOM, and the SVG is generated directly in JSX.

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 Tracker

A full-screen SVG tracks the mouse and draws a single black circle at the cursor's current position. The circle follows pointer movement in real time, rendered with React's `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to update its `cx` and `cy` coordinates on every `mousemove` event. The SVG uses `window.innerWidth` and `window.innerHeight` for its dimensions, and the example demonstrates declarative state-driven rendering with React 16.9 and ReactDOM.

follow the mouse

A React SVG renders a single black circle that follows the mouse cursor across the full browser window. The component tracks pointer position via the `onMouseMove` event, storing coordinates in state with `useState` and updating them through `useCallback`. The circle's `cx` and `cy` attributes are bound to the current mouse coordinates, redrawing on every move. This example demonstrates real-time interaction between user input and SVG elements using React's declarative rendering.

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.
