Popup text

The command \popup allows to insert popup information in articles. More information is here

3D-Visualizations

Thanks to a cooperation with RWTH Aachen, visualizations are now also possible in 3D. Within the environment visualization, a 3D-canvas is created by using \begin{canvasXYZ} ... \end{canvasXYZ} (see here). JSX-Visualization-Variables.md can be displayed in 3D-canvas:

• Points, vectors, lines, and segments, as well as planes, and spheres,
• graphs of bivariate functions,
• parametric curves and parametric surfaces
• 3D-vectorfields

New objects in visualizations

There have also been developments in visualizations independent of 3D.

• new variable type vectorfield,
• multivariate functions: variables of type function with several indeterminates,
• using evaluations and substitutions of functions in the definition of other variables,
• using derivatives of functions in the definition of other variables.

Other new features in visualizations

We implemented other new features in visualizations:

• Additional options for 2D-canvases: fixView noMouseZooming and more. We also adapted the behaviour of the option noToolbar: It only hides the tool bar (apart from the reset button), but still allows zooming and dragging with the mouse.
• command \vectorForm for changing the appearance of points or vectors in text.
• command \sliderPositioning : Changing the length of the slider. (We intend to extend this command in the future so that authors also have the option to configure the placement of the slider ).

New website available

Over the past few weeks, we at integral learning have been working on our new website.
It is online since this week.
Why don't you visit us at https://integral-learning.de and perhaps you will discover some functionalities that you don't know about yet.

Zooming in Visualizations with mouse wheel

Users can now zoom in and out in visualizations with the mouse wheel. The user can also drag the visible canvas with the mouse. If the author hides the toolbar (by providing the optional argument noToolbar in the \plot-command), zooming and dragging of the canvas is also disabled. The same holds for touch events on touch screens.

All new features listed below are now also supported in QuickPreview.

24 April 2024

Visualizations in question text and in explanation text

The new visualization environment \begin{visualization}{..} ... \end{visualization} can be used in question text.
Detailed information how to use it is here.
Unfortunately, the new visualization environment and also this feature is not yet supported in the QuickPreview, but only in the LemonCoursePreview. Availability in QuickPreview will come soon.

Visualizations and problems with randomquestionpool

Visualizations can now also fetch variables and pass answers to problems when you use randomquestionpools. You just have to use the number of the corresponding question in your tex-document.

New visualization environment

There is a new visualization environment \begin{visualization}{..} ... \end{visualization} with simplified syntax for the definition of variables. It already works in the LemonCoursePreview of Webmiau, and will in a few weeks also be supported in QuickPreview.
The older environment \begin{genericJSXVisualization} ... \end{genericJSXVisualization} will work, but is deprecated.
Detailed information about the new environment is here.

Added FAQ for content creation

We added some FAQ on creation of content. The list will be updated continuously.
