ASCIIsvg-IM Draggables using Event.js

This page demonstrates some examples of draggable points using asciiSVG-IM.js, an SVG-based math graphing facility. It makes use of the Event.js library for drag events.

Board asvg0: simple draggable points

These 2 points can be dragged around the board. That's it, really.

Syntax

Here's the syntax for the above graph:


	// Create board
	removeEle("asvg0SVG");
	padding = 20;
	initBoard("asvg0", xMin, xMax, yMin, yMax);

	axes(2,5,"labels",2,10);
			
	strokewidth = 25;
	stroke = fill = "#165a71";
	strokeopacity = 0;

	ASdot([-4, -10], 6, stroke, fill, "pt0a");
	ASdot([7, 2], 6, stroke, fill, "pt0b");
	makeDraggable(pt0a);	
	makeDraggable(pt0b);
	
	removeEle("spinnerWrapWrap");  

These are the various parameters that change as you drag points around. It's mostly internal coding information, and here for testing.

Board asvg1: Gliders

The points can be dragged along the curves.

Board asvg2: Segments defined by draggable points

The points define the extremities of the segment, and can be dragged.

Syntax

Here's the syntax for the above graph:


	removeEle("asvg2SVG");
	padding = 20;	
	initBoard("asvg2", 0, 50, -4, yMax);

Board asvg3: Line through draggable points

You can drag the filled points. The vertical and horizontal lines are for testing.

Board asvg4: More lines through draggable points

You can drag the points. This includes a vertical line determined by draggable points.
