PolygonalChain

Element

A polygonal chain is a connected series of line segments (borders). It is determined by

a list of points or
a list of coordinate arrays or
a function returning a list of coordinate arrays.

Each two consecutive points of the list define a line. In JSXGraph, a polygonal chain is simply realized as polygon without the last - closing - point. This may lead to unexpected results. Polygonal chains can be distinguished from polygons by the attribute 'elType' which is 'polygonalchain' for the first and 'polygon' for the latter.

Usage (signatures)

board.create('polygonalchain', [vertices]);

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
`vertices`	Array	The polygon's vertices.

Example

var attr = {
            snapToGrid: true
        },
        p = [];

	p.push(board.create('point', [-4, 0], attr));
	p.push(board.create('point', [-1, -3], attr));
	p.push(board.create('point', [0, 2], attr));
	p.push(board.create('point', [2, 1], attr));
	p.push(board.create('point', [4, -2], attr));

 var chain = board.create('polygonalchain', p, {borders: {strokeWidth: 3}});

board.create('polygonalchain', [pol, t]);

Additionally, a polygonal chain can be created by providing a polygonal chain and a transformation (or an array of transformations). The result is a polygonal chain which is the transformation of the supplied polygonal chain.
