A circle in an SVG canvas exhibits a spring-like snapping effect, moving toward the mouse cursor with an elastic, damped motion. The interaction invites exploration of how a physics parameter changes the behavior: vertical mouse position controls the speed cap, altering the circle's momentum and overshoot. The example uses a custom D3 timer loop to incrementally update velocity and position, applying a clamp function to limit speed based on distance, and renders the result as an animated SVG element.

slinky

A single white line repeatedly traces the outline of a circle, but its shape is continuously warped by a sinusoidal modulation that scales and rotates each point’s radial position. The animation cycles through several periods of this distortion, making the circle appear to coil and uncoil like a slinky. The code uses D3’s `d3.timer` to update a `path` element, computing new coordinates for 1,000 sample points via a transformation that multiplies the base circle’s x- and y-coordinates by cosine and sine of the angle multiplied by a time-varying factor. The rendering relies on an SVG `path` with a thick white stroke over a dark background, leveraging the lodash and d3-jetpack helper libraries for utilities and concise syntax.

A tweetable d3 animation

A single animated SVG visualization shows 100 circles arranged in a shifting radial pattern. The code uses a `d3.timer` loop to update circle positions, with each circle’s radius and angle computed via sine and cosine functions. The circles are drawn with D3’s `selectAll` and `data` join, appended to an SVG group element. Styling is minimal, with unfilled circles stroked in dark gray on a light background. The animation continuously couples each circle’s distance from the center to time, creating a pulsating, spiral-like effect.

Circles

A field of 1,000 small circles drifts randomly across an SVG canvas, wrapping around the edges when they exit the viewport. A text label in the corner displays a live frames-per-second counter. The animation uses `d3.timer` to update each circle's `cx` and `cy` attributes every frame, with positions stored in a data array generated from `d3.range(1000)` and `Math.random`. The code runs on D3 v3 and renders purely with SVG elements.

svg canvas clip-path

A side-by-side demonstration compares SVG and Canvas clipping in real time. Both render 80 randomly positioned circles and the text “SVG Clip Path” inside a circular clip region that follows the mouse. The SVG view uses a `<clipPath>` with a `<circle>` element, while the Canvas view applies the same path via `ctx.clip()`. D3 v5 handles mouse events and element selection, updating the clip circle’s `cx` and `cy` attributes and redrawing the canvas on each move.

mouse follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, updating its position in real time as the pointer moves. Built with React and D3 v7, the example uses React state to track mouse coordinates via an `onMouseMove` handler, then renders the circle at those coordinates. The SVG viewport is 960 by 500 pixels, and the circle has a fixed radius of 30 pixels, demonstrating a simple interactive pattern without data or animation.

Another tweetable d3 animation

A looping D3 animation renders 100 circles on an SVG canvas, their positions shifting over time. The circles move along sine-wave paths defined by trigonometric functions, creating a waving, organic pattern. The code uses `d3.range`, `d3.select`, `d3.timer`, and appends SVG `circle` elements, with stroke styling applied via CSS. The animation runs continuously, driven by a timer that updates coordinates based on the current time step.

circle movment

A single dark circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG viewport, creating a direct and immediate interactive connection between user input and visual output. Built with React hooks for state management and event handling, the circle’s position updates on every mousemove event, while D3’s `arc` generator defines a static mouth shape visible in the initial markup. The visualization renders exclusively through SVG elements, with React managing the circle’s coordinates and D3 providing geometry utilities. This minimal example demonstrates the seamless integration of React’s declarative rendering with D3’s computational functions for interactive graphics.

Mouse Follower

A circle follows the mouse cursor across an SVG canvas, updating its position in real time. The visualization is built with React and D3 v6, using React's `useState` and `useCallback` hooks to track and update the mouse coordinates from the `onMouseMove` event. The circle is rendered as an SVG element with a fixed radius, and its `cx` and `cy` attributes are bound to the current mouse position. The example demonstrates a simple interactive pattern in a React-D3 integration.
