Through the variable board new geometry elements can be added to the board. All elements are added with the method create():
board.create('point', [1,3], {name:'A', strokecolor:'red'});
Another example:
board.create('point', [function(){return s.X();},function(){return t.X()}], {trace:true});
The parameters of create() are:
board.create(elementType, parentElements, attributes);
where
- elementType is a string containing the type of the element which is constructed. At the moment, possible types are:
- primitive elements like points and lines
- composite elements like bisectors, midpoints
- parentElements is an array containing the parameters which define the element. This can be parent elements like two points which define a line. It can also consist of JavaScript functions, numbers, and strings containing GEONExT syntax. The possible array elements depend on the element type.
- attributes is a JavaScript object. Usually it is given in the "literal object" form
{key1:value1, key2:value2, ...}
Point is an easy example.
- Properties of a point:
- style
- strokeColor
- strokeWidth
- fillColor
- highlightStrokeColor
- highlightFillColor
- labelColor
- visible
- fixed
- draft
- trace
- Additional properties of a line:
- straightFirst
- straightLast
There are no additional properties of a circle
- Additional properties for an element:
- needsRegularUpdate = [true]/false (eg axis are set to needsRegularUpdate=false) These elements are updated only, if the origin of the board is moved or after zooming
