Projects

We are involved in various projects that include JSXGraph as a central element for interactive mathematical visualizations. In several of these projects, the University of Bayreuth acts not only as a partner but also as the main project coordinator.

sketchometry

sketchometry

Since 2010

University of Bayreuth

sketchometry is a user interface built on the foundation of JSXGraph. sketchometry enables students to draw and manipulate geometric constructions using simple gestures. The software automatically recognizes shapes and relationships, providing a seamless transition from rough sketches to precise constructions. Designed specifically for digital classrooms, sketchometry promotes active learning and supports a deeper understanding of geometry.

Students' Projects

Students’ Projects

Since 2018

University of Bayreuth

Students in seminars at the University of Bayreuth developed their own JSXGraph projects. While many worked directly on the JSXGraph code, improving and extending its functionality, these contributions often merged into the official code base without being individually visible.

Some projects emerged as independent stand-alone applications, demonstrating innovative uses of JSXGraph beyond the library itself.

JSXCompressor

JSXCompressor

Since 2010

University of Bayreuth

JSXCompressor is a JavaScript-based utility from the open-source JSXGraph project that enables deflate, unzip, and base64 decoding directly in the browser, allowing for the transmission and execution of compressed JavaScript, XML, or JSON data without server-side compression. It can be used in combination with PHP to embed compressed, base64-encoded scripts into HTML, making it a useful tool when server-side gzip compression is not available.

SASIM

SASIM

Since 2024

SASIM is an inter-university cooperation dedicated to developing and sharing a STACK-based Engineering Mathematics Problem Bank enhanced with interactive JSXGraph visualizations. The network fosters exchange of tasks, collaborative design, and debugging support, while exploring innovative digital didactics. Its resources are used in exercises and exams across various universities, reaching more than 7,000 students each semester.

Everything is Number

Everything is Number

Since 2008

University of Bayreuth

The Pythagoreans believed that numbers are hidden in everything—from musical harmonies to the movement of the planets—and concluded: “Everything is number.” Inspired by this idea, Swiss artist Eugen Jost explores numbers and language in his art. Some of his artworks have been made interactive using JSXGraph. These digital versions allow viewers to explore the mathematical structures.
