Below are the default values for many parameters of a JSXGraph construction. These values have to be overwritten before the initialization of the JSXGraph board via

JXG.Options.text.fontSize = 14;
JXG.Options.text.useASCIIMathML = true;

or more compact

JXG.Options = JXG.merge(JXG.Options, {
    showNavigation: false,
    point: {
        face: 'x'
    }
 });

If you have some more options you want to use for more than just one construction you can save them in an extra .js file and include them right after loading JSXGraph.

Here is the complete list of default values as of version 0.93. The latest version of Options.js is available at [1].

    showCopyright : true,
    showNavigation : true,
    takeSizeFromFile : false, // If true, the construction - when read from a file or string - the size of the div can be changed.
    renderer: 'svg',
    takeFirst : false, // if true the first element with hasPoint==true is taken.
    pan: true,
