Element Point3D

JXG.GeometryElement,JXG.GeometryElement3D
   ↳ JXG.Point3D
         ↳ Point3D

A Point3D object is defined by three coordinates [x,y,z], or a function returning an array with three numbers. Alternatively, all numbers can also be provided as functions returning a number.

Defined in: point3d.js.
Extends JXG.Point3D.

Element Detail
Point3D
This element has no direct constructor. To create an instance of this element you have to call JXG.Board#create with type "point3d".

Possible parent array combinations are:
{number|function} x
{number|function} y
{number|function} z
{JXG.GeometryElement3D} [slide=undefined]

The coordinates are given as x, y, z consisting of numbers or functions. If an optional 3D element "slide" is supplied, the point is a glider on that element.


{array|function} F
{JXG.GeometryElement3D} [slide=null]

Alternatively, the coordinates can be supplied as
  • function returning an array [x,y,z] of length 3 of numbers or
  • array arr=[x,y,z] of length 3 consisting of numbers
If an optional 3D element "slide" is supplied, the point is a glider on that element.


Throws:
{Exception}
If the element cannot be constructed with the given parent objects an exception is thrown.
Examples:
   var bound = [-5, 5];
   var view = board.create('view3d',
       [[-6, -3], [8, 8],
       [bound, bound, bound]],
       {});
   var p = view.create('point3d', [1, 2, 2], { name:'A', size: 5 });
   var q = view.create('point3d', function() { return [p.X(), p.Y(), p.Z() - 3]; }, { name:'B', size: 3, fixed: true });
   var w = view.create('point3d', [ () => p.X() + 3, () => p.Y(), () => p.Z() - 2], { name:'C', size: 3, fixed: true });


				
				
    // Glider on sphere
    var view = board.create(
        'view3d',
        [[-6, -3], [8, 8],
        [[-3, 3], [-3, 3], [-3, 3]]],
        {
            depthOrder: {
                enabled: true
            },
            projection: 'central',
            xPlaneRear: {fillOpacity: 0.2, gradient: null},
            yPlaneRear: {fillOpacity: 0.2, gradient: null},
            zPlaneRear: {fillOpacity: 0.2, gradient: null}
        }
    );

    // Two points
    var center = view.create('point3d', [0, 0, 0], {withLabel: false, size: 2});
    var point = view.create('point3d', [2, 0, 0], {withLabel: false, size: 2});

    // Sphere
    var sphere = view.create('sphere3d', [center, point], {fillOpacity: 0.8});

    // Glider on sphere
    var glide = view.create('point3d', [2, 2, 0, sphere], {withLabel: false, color: 'red', size: 4});
    var l1 = view.create('line3d', [glide, center], { strokeWidth: 2, dash: 2 });


				
                
Field Detail
<private> {Array} coords
Homogeneous coordinates of a Point3D, i.e. array of length 4 containing numbers: [w, x, y, z]. Usually, w=1 for finite points and w=0 for points which are infinitely far. If coordinates of the point are supplied as functions, they are resolved in Point3D#updateCoords into numbers.
  p.coords;

<private> {JXG.GeometryElement3D} slide
Optional slide element, i.e. element the Point3D lives on.
  p.slide;
Default Value:
null
Method Detail
<private> F()
Function or array of functions or array of numbers defining the coordinates of the point, used in updateCoords.
See:
updateCoords

<private> <static> {Object} Point3D.normalizeCoords()
Normalize homogeneous coordinates such the the first coordinate (the w-coordinate is equal to 1 or 0)-
Returns:
{Object} Reference to the Point3D object
Examples:
   p.normalizeCoords();

<static> {Object} Point3D.setPosition(coords, noevent)
Set the position of a 3D point.
Parameters:
{Array} coords
3D coordinates. Either of the form [x,y,z] (Euclidean) or [w,x,y,z] (homogeneous).
{Boolean} noevent Optional
If true, no events are triggered (TODO)
Returns:
{Object} Reference to the Point3D object
Examples:
   p.setPosition([1, 3, 4]);

<private> <static> {Object} Point3D.updateCoords()
Update the array JXG.Point3D#coords containing the homogeneous coords.
Returns:
{Object} Reference to the Point3D object
See:
GeometryElement3D#update()
Examples:
   p.updateCoords();

<static> Point3D.W()
Get w-coordinate of a 3D point.
Returns:
Number
Examples:
  p.W();

<static> {Number} Point3D.X()
Get x-coordinate of a 3D point.
Returns:
{Number}
Examples:
  p.X();

<static> Point3D.Y()
Get y-coordinate of a 3D point.
Returns:
Number
Examples:
  p.Y();

<static> Point3D.Z()
Get z-coordinate of a 3D point.
Returns:
Number
Examples:
  p.Z();
