Class Detail
<private> JXG.CoordsElement(coordinates, isLabel)
An element containing coords is the basic geometric element. Based on points lines and circles can be constructed which can be intersected which in turn are points again which can be used to construct new lines, circles, polygons, etc. This class holds methods for all kind of coordinate elements like points, texts and images.
Parameters:
{Array} coordinates
An array with the affine user coordinates of the point. JXG.Options#elements, and - optionally - a name and an id.


isLabel


Field Detail
<private> {JXG.Coords} coords
Coordinates of the element.

<private> {Array} groups
Stores the groups of this element in an array of Group.
See:
JXG.Group

<private> {Boolean} isConstrained
True if there the method this.updateConstraint() has been set. It is probably different from the prototype function() {return this;}. Used in updateCoords fo glider elements.
See:
JXG.CoordsElement#updateCoords

{Boolean} needsUpdateFromParent
A JXG.CoordsElement#updateGlider call is usually followed by a general JXG.Board#update which calls JXG.CoordsElement#updateGliderFromParent. To prevent double updates, JXG.CoordsElement#needsUpdateFromParent is set to false in updateGlider() and reset to true in the following call to JXG.CoordsElement#updateGliderFromParent

<private> {Boolean} onPolygon
Determines whether the element slides on a polygon if point is a glider.
Default Value:
false

<private> {Number} position
Relative position on a slide element (line, circle, curve) if element is a glider on this element.

{JXG.GeometryElement} slideObject
When used as a glider this member stores the object, where to glide on. To set the object to glide on use the method JXG.Point#makeGlider and DO NOT set this property directly as it will break the dependency tree.

slideObjects
List of elements the element is bound to, i.e. the element glides on. Only the last entry is active. Use JXG.Point#popSlideObject to remove the currently active slideObject.
Method Detail
<private> {JXG.CoordsElement} _anim(direction, stepCount)
Animates a glider. Is called by the browser after startAnimation is called.
Parameters:
{Number} direction
The direction the glider is animated.
{Number} stepCount
The number of steps in which the parent element is divided. Must be at least 1.
Returns:
{JXG.CoordsElement} Reference to itself.
See:
#startAnimation
#stopAnimation

<private> addAnchor(coordinates, isLabel)
In case there is an attribute "anchor", the element is bound to this anchor element. This is handled with this.relativeCoords. If the element is a label relativeCoords are given in scrCoords, otherwise in usrCoords.
Parameters:
coordinates
isLabel

addConstraint(terms)
Convert the point to CAS point and call update().
Parameters:
{Array} terms
[[zterm], xterm, yterm] defining terms for the z, x and y coordinate. The z-coordinate is optional and it is used for homogeneous coordinates. The coordinates may be either
  • a JavaScript function,
  • a string containing GEONExT syntax. This string will be converted into a JavaScript function here,
  • a Number
  • a pointer to a slider object. This will be converted into a call of the Value()-method of this slider.
See:
JXG.GeonextParser#geonext2JS

{JXG.CoordsElement} addTransform(el, transform)
Add transformations to this element.
Parameters:

Parameters:
Callback
board

{JXG.Point} handleAttractors()
A point can change its type from free point to glider and vice versa. If it is given an array of attractor elements (attribute attractors) and the attribute attractorDistance then the point will be made a glider if it less than attractorDistance apart from one of its attractor elements. If attractorDistance is equal to zero, the point stays in its current form.
Returns:
{JXG.Point} Reference to this element

{JXG.Point} handleSnapToPoints(force)

force snapping independent of what the snaptogrid attribute says
Returns:
{JXG.Point} Reference to this element

makeGlider(slide)

{JXG.CoordsElement} moveAlong(path, time, options)

This can be either an array of arrays or containing x and y values of the points of the path, or an array of points, or a function taking the amount of elapsed time since the animation has started and returns an array containing a x and a y value or NaN. In case of NaN the animation stops.
