A simple interactive visualization renders an SVG circle that follows the mouse cursor across a 960×500 viewport. The React component tracks the cursor’s `clientX` and `clientY` coordinates through an `onMouseMove` handler, storing them in state via `useState` and updating the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes. D3.js v5 and React 16.9 manage the rendering, with the circle starting at the center of the screen. The visualization demonstrates state-driven updates in a React-D3 hybrid, using SVG elements for direct DOM manipulation.

Mouse Follower

An interactive SVG visualization renders a single circle that follows the mouse cursor across a 960-by-500 canvas. The React component tracks pointer movement via the `onMouseMove` event and updates the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes through `useState` and `useCallback`. Initially positioned at the canvas center, the circle moves smoothly with the cursor. The example demonstrates state-driven rendering in React 17 with D3 v7, using plain SVG elements rather than data joins or scales. No external data source is involved; the visualization purely reacts to user input.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas in this React-based visualization. The app tracks pointer coordinates using a React `onMouseMove` event handler and stores them in component state with the `useState` hook. Each mouse movement updates the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes, repositioning it instantly at the cursor’s location. The visualization uses React 16.9 and D3 v5 for rendering, with the SVG circle set to a fixed radius of 30 pixels. No data source is involved; the interaction is purely driven by user input.

Mouse follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor in real time across an SVG canvas, highlighting the immediate connection between pointer movement and visual feedback. The visualization uses React state management, with a `useState` hook tracking the cursor's `clientX` and `clientY` coordinates, which are updated via a callback on the SVG's `onMouseMove` event. Rendered with React’s `ReactDOM.render`, the circle’s position transitions smoothly as the state changes, while D3.js is loaded but not actively used in the logic. The example demonstrates a simple, responsive interaction pattern.

Mouse Follower

A React-based SVG visualization demonstrates a circle that follows the cursor across a 960-by-500 viewport. The application tracks the mouse position through the `onMouseMove` event handler, updating state via React’s `useState` and `useCallback` hooks, then re-renders the circle’s center coordinates accordingly. The circle starts at the viewport’s midpoint and moves smoothly to match the pointer’s `clientX` and `clientY` values. The rendering relies on React DOM to mount the SVG element, with no external charting library involved.

Mouse Follower

A simple interactive visualization renders a single circle that follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas. The circle’s position updates in real time, tracking the user's pointer movement. The example uses React’s `useState` and `useCallback` to manage the mouse coordinates, and renders the circle via an SVG `<circle>` element with `cx` and `cy` attributes set from the current mouse position. The `onMouseMove` event handler on the SVG element captures the cursor's `clientX` and `clientY` values, which are then used to update the circle’s location.

Mouse follower

This example demonstrates a mouse-follower visualization: a circle that tracks the cursor’s position across an SVG canvas. The circle moves continuously as the user moves the mouse, with its center coordinates updated from the event’s `clientX` and `clientY` values. The implementation uses React’s `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to manage and update the mouse position, while the `<svg>` element’s `onMouseMove` handler triggers the state change. The rendering is done via SVG, with a single `<circle>` element whose `cx` and `cy` attributes are bound to the current position. D3 is loaded but not used for interaction or data processing.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, updating its position in real time as the pointer moves. The visualization uses React state to track mouse coordinates via the `onMouseMove` event handler and renders a single `<circle>` element with D3 v7’s selection-free React integration. The SVG viewport is fixed at 960 by 500 pixels, and the circle’s center tracks the clientX and clientY values directly.

Mouse follower, a circle

A circle follows the mouse cursor across a full-screen SVG canvas, with its position updating live in response to pointer movement. The visualization demonstrates interactive React state management, where the initial mouse position is set to the center of the window. Using React's `useState` hook and an SVG `onMouseMove` event handler, the component captures `clientX` and `clientY` coordinates from the event to update the circle's `cx` and `cy` attributes. The code relies on React 16.9 and ReactDOM to render the circle element.
