A circle follows the mouse as it moves across an SVG canvas, using React's `useState` and `useCallback` to track the pointer's `clientX` and `clientY` coordinates. The example renders a single black-stroked circle via ReactDOM into an HTML page with CSS resets, demonstrating a minimal interactive visualization with no external data source.

Mouse Follower

A single black circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, with React tracking pointer events to update its position. The example uses React's `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to store the `clientX` and `clientY` coordinates on every `onMouseMove`, re-rendering the circle's `cx` and `cy` attributes. Rendered via ReactDOM into a 960×500 SVG, it demonstrates a minimal interactive data-visualization pattern without any external data source.

A black circle follows the mouse cursor across a blank SVG canvas, centering itself on the pointer's exact coordinates. The visualization demonstrates a simple interactive loop using React's `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to track `clientX` and `clientY` positions from a mouse move event, while D3 v6 handles SVG rendering. The circle has a fixed radius of 30 pixels and starts at the canvas center before responding to user movement.

Mouse Follower

A black circle follows the mouse cursor across a blank SVG canvas. The example demonstrates React state management with the `useState` and `useCallback` hooks, updating circle coordinates via the `onMouseMove` event. It renders a single `<circle>` element using ReactDOM, with a fixed radius of 30 pixels, and initializes the pointer position at the center of the 960×500 viewport.

A single black circle follows the mouse cursor across an empty SVG canvas. The circle's position is updated in real time as the cursor moves, using React's `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to track `clientX` and `clientY` coordinates. The example renders with `ReactDOM.render` and imports `arc` from D3 v5, though the visible output is purely a responsive circle.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, with a black outline appearing when the cursor enters the drawing area and disappearing when it leaves. The React application uses the `useState` hook to track mouse coordinates and stroke color, updating the circle’s position via the `onMouseMove` event handler on the SVG element. The code renders the circle purely with React and SVG, relying on clientX and clientY from the mouse event for positioning.

Mouse Follower

A single black circle tracks the mouse in real time within an SVG canvas. The example uses React's `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to capture the mouse position via the SVG `onMouseMove` event, updating the circle's `cx` and `cy` attributes. The visualization demonstrates a minimal interactive pattern, relying on React for state management and D3 v5 only for SVG rendering support, with no data source beyond the live pointer coordinates.

A single black circle follows the mouse cursor across a blank SVG canvas, updating its position in real time. The React app tracks pointer coordinates through an `onMouseMove` event handler and stores them in state with `useState`, then re-renders the circle using the `clientX` and `clientY` values. The example demonstrates a basic interactive pattern using React’s `useCallback` and ReactDOM, with SVG circle elements for rendering.

This example renders a single black-outlined circle on a blank SVG canvas that follows the user’s mouse movements. The circle’s center updates to the current cursor coordinates, which are captured from the mouse event’s `clientX` and `clientY` properties. Built with React and ReactDOM, the application uses the `useState` hook to store the mouse position and an `onMouseMove` handler to trigger re-renders, drawing the circle with SVG elements.
