This example demonstrates a simple interactive visualization where a circle follows the mouse cursor across the screen, using a unidirectional data flow pattern. The code uses d3-selection’s `select` and `selectAll` with data joins to create and update an SVG element. Mouse movement events trigger a `setState` function that updates an immutable state object with the cursor’s `x` and `y` coordinates, which then re-renders the circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes. The rendered circle has a fixed radius of 50 pixels, and the SVG fills the entire viewport.

Make something, move and click mouse

A small circle follows the mouse as it moves across an SVG canvas. Clicking the mouse drops a larger, randomly colored circle at the click position, with colors selected from a fixed palette of blue, red, yellow, green, and pink. The example uses D3.js v7 selection and event handling methods, including `svg.on('mousemove')` and `svg.on('click')`, to update circle attributes such as `cx`, `cy`, `r`, and `fill`. The SVG is sized to the full browser window.

Mouse Follower

This example demonstrates a mouse-following circle that changes position with cursor movement and shifts to a random color on click. The visualization starts with a blue circle centered in the viewport, then uses d3’s `select`, `pointer`, and `join` methods to render an SVG and update its attributes. State changes follow immutable update patterns, spreading the previous state and overriding specific properties like `x`, `y`, and `color`. The code also relies on container dimensions and event listeners for `mousemove` and `click` interactions.

Mouse Follower Simple

A simple interactive visualization renders a circle that follows the mouse cursor. The circle grows in radius as the user moves the mouse faster, measured via the `event.movementX` and `event.movementY` properties, with its size capped at 100 pixels. The example uses D3 v7's selection and data join methods (`select`, `selectAll`, `join`) to bind SVG elements, updating position and radius on each `mousemove` event. The circle is styled with a transparent fill and a black stroke, demonstrating dynamic SVG updates with D3.

Make Something: Fork of Mouse Follower

This example demonstrates a paint tool where a circle follows the mouse and leaves a trail of colored dots. Users draw by moving the pointer, cycle through nine colors by clicking, and adjust brush size from five preset values by right-clicking. The visualization uses a unidirectional data flow with a custom `viz` function and a `setState` callback. D3 selections handle mouse events and append SVG circles dynamically, while a text label shows the "Paint!" instruction in the center-top of the viewport.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse pointer across the screen, updating its position in real time based on cursor movement. The visualization demonstrates unidirectional data flow with D3 v7 and React, where mouse events trigger state updates that re-render the circle’s coordinates. The code uses d3-selection `select` and `join` to bind SVG elements, with an initial state centered in the viewport. The React framework manages state through a `setState` callback, while the D3 `mousemove` event handler captures pointer positions.

Mouse Follower Simple

This example demonstrates a simple interactive visualization where a circle follows the mouse cursor across the screen. The circle is initially positioned at coordinates (50,50) and updates its position in real-time in response to mouse movements. The code uses the D3.js library (v7) to select the `#app` div, append an SVG element sized to the full window dimensions, and create a circle element with a radius of 50 pixels. The visualization listens for `mousemove` events on the SVG and uses the event's x and y coordinates to update the circle's `cx` and `cy` attributes, creating a direct and responsive tracking effect.

Untitled

A circle follows the mouse cursor, updating its position in real time. The D3.js library manages the SVG canvas and circle rendering, while a unidirectional data flow pattern uses a `setState` callback to pass new coordinates from the `mousemove` event into the visualization state. The SVG is sized to the browser window, and the circle has a fixed radius of 50 pixels.

Color Changing Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor across the canvas, and a click randomly changes its fill color. The visualization demonstrates a unidirectional data flow pattern using D3 v7, where mouse events update a state object which then triggers a re-render of the SVG. It uses D3's `select` and `.join` operations to efficiently create and update the circle element, while the rendering logic resides in a separate `viz.js` module. The circle's position and color are driven entirely by the state managed through a custom `setState` function.
