+ * DotPattern Component
+ *
+ * A React component that creates an animated or static dot pattern background using SVG.
+ * The pattern automatically adjusts to fill its container and can optionally display glowing dots.
+ *
+ * @component
+ *
+ * @see DotPatternProps for the props interface.
+ *
+ * @example
+ * // Basic usage
+ * <DotPattern />
+ *
+ * // With glowing effect and custom spacing
+ * <DotPattern
+ *   width={20}
+ *   height={20}
+ *   glow={true}
+ *   className="opacity-50"
+ * />
+ *
+ * @notes
+ * - The component is client-side only ("use client")
+ * - Automatically responds to container size changes
+ * - When glow is enabled, dots will animate with random delays and durations
+ * - Uses Motion for animations
+ * - Dots color can be controlled via the text color utility classes
