Parabola

This is an example for JSXGraph with two boards and so called hooks into HTML. That means the numbers below a, b, and c are updated if the points A, B, and C are dragged. And other way round, these numbers are editable.

See Slider and function plot for an easier example howto plot a parabola.

The underlying JavaScript code

<div id="box2" class='jxgbox' style="width:375px; height:150px;"></div>

<table style="border: 0px solid black; text-align: center" width="500px">
<tr>
  <th style="border: 1px solid black" width="100px">a</th>
  <th style="border: 1px solid black" width="100px">b</th>
  <th style="border: 1px solid black" width="100px">c</th>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td><input type="text" id="print_a" size="2" maxlength="7" 
    style="border:none; text-align:right; font-size:1.2em; "
    onKeyUp="board2.select('A').moveTo([parseFloat(this.value),0]); board2.update(); board.update();" onfocus="hook=false;" onblur="hook=true"
  ></td>
  <td><input type="text" id="print_b" size="2" maxlength="7" 
    style="border:none; text-align:right; font-size:1.2em; "
    onKeyUp="board2.select('B').moveTo([parseFloat(this.value),0]); board2.update(); board.update();" onfocus="hook=false;" onblur="hook=true"
  ></td>
  <td><input type="text" id="print_c" size="2" maxlength="7" 
    style="border:none; text-align:right; font-size:1.2em; "
    onKeyUp="board2.select('C').moveTo([parseFloat(this.value),0]); board2.update(); board.update();" onfocus="hook=false;" onblur="hook=true"
  ></td>

<div id="box" class="jxgbox" style="width:600px; height:400px;"></div>

var board = JXG.JSXGraph.initBoard('box', {boundingbox: [-5, 5, 7, -3], axis: true});

var curve = board.create('functiongraph', [function(t){ 
        return board2.select('A').X() * t * t + board2.select('B').X() * t + board2.select('C').X(); 
    }, -10, 10]);						
			
function print_table() {

  }
};

board2.addChild(board);
			
print_table_id = board2.on('update', print_table);
