This example shows a simple interactive visualization: a red circle echoes the user’s mouse position within an SVG canvas. The circle responds in real time, maintaining its center exactly where the cursor moves over the 960×500 display. Built with React, the app uses the `useState` hook to store the cursor’s coordinates and a `useCallback` handler to update them on each mouse event. Mouse movement data comes from the `onMouseMove` event, which captures the `clientX` and `clientY` properties.

Mouse Follower

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 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

A red circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, with its position updating in real time. Built with React and D3 v7, the visualization uses React's `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to track mouse coordinates on a dedicated SVG `onMouseMove` event handler. ReactDOM renders the SVG, and the circle's `cx` and `cy` attributes update live as the pointer moves.

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

A red circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, updating its position in real time as the user moves. Built with React and D3 v5, the app uses React’s `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to track mouse coordinates via the SVG `onMouseMove` event, then re-renders the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes accordingly. No data source is involved; the visualization simply demonstrates interactive event handling and state-driven rendering with SVG.

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.

Mouse Follower

An interactive SVG circle follows the mouse cursor across a 960x500 canvas. The React application tracks pointer movement via the `onMouseMove` event handler, updating the circle's center coordinates with each `clientX` and `clientY` value. Using `useState` for position state and `useCallback` to optimize the event handler, the code renders a single red circle (radius 30) whose position updates in real time. The example demonstrates a basic React-D3 integration, with the visualization rendered entirely through React's declarative SVG output.

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.
