Namespace mathnetics


            
            namespace 
            mathnetics

The root namespace in which all Mathnetics-specific objects fall. Note that universal mathematical objects, such as Vector, Plane, Matrix, Line, etc. are global objects. The mathnetics namespace also defines a few constants, such as zero (used for roundoff error) and phi.

Class Summary

mathnetics.Object3D

mathnetics.Object3D is a class that defines 3D objects that can both be manipulated in their own right and displayed in mathnetics.gfx.Scene3D objects.

mathnetics.point2D

The point2D class defines a point in 2-dimensional Euclidean space via homogeneous coordinates (i.e.

mathnetics.point3D

The point3D class defines a point in 3-dimensional Euclidean space via homogeneous coordinates (i.e.

Variable Summary

private Array autoLoad

The names of the files to automatically load whenever mathnetics.js is loaded (['Matrix','svg/svg'], i.e.)

String pathToButtons

Public reference to toButtons

private String pathToHere

The path to the directory containing all the JS files; can be a URL or a relative path

float phi

The so-called "Golden Ratio" that occurs frequently in nature.

private String toButtons

The path to image icons.

String version

The version number of mathnetics.

float zero

The value of zero to use in cases of roundoff error, etc.

Function Summary

public Object extend ([Object target], Object options)

General object extension function.

public void load()

Requires all the files specified in autoLoad.

public void require (Array dependsOn)

Includes all of the files in a supplied array (autoLoad for example).

Variable Details

variable private Array autoLoad

The names of the files to automatically load whenever mathnetics.js is loaded (['Matrix','svg/svg'], i.e.)

variable String pathToButtons

Public reference to toButtons

variable private String pathToHere

The path to the directory containing all the JS files; can be a URL or a relative path

variable float phi

The so-called "Golden Ratio" that occurs frequently in nature. Also the limit of the ratio between two successive Fibonacci numbers. Equals (1 + sqrt(5)) / 2

variable private String toButtons

The path to image icons. See SceneButton.js to see and/or change specific file names.

variable String version

The version number of mathnetics.

variable float zero

The value of zero to use in cases of roundoff error, etc. Defaults to 10^-6

Function Details

function extend


                    public
                    Object
                    extend([Object
 target], Object
 options)

General object extension function. Will extend the target object with all of the attributes of an object as passed to the function. See files in util and gfx for example usage.

Parameters:


            [target]

- the object to extend; if none specified, extends mathnetics


            options

- the properties, as an object literal, to add to the target object

Returns:

the target object, extended/updated with options

function load


                    public
                    void
                    load()

Requires all the files specified in autoLoad. Called automatically by mathnetics.js.

function require


                    public
                    void
                    require(Array
 dependsOn)

Includes all of the files in a supplied array (autoLoad for example). Used frequently internally to require all dependent files when one is loaded by user.
