JSXGraph wrapper for TypeScript

[tom-berend]

Hi Friends,

I have built a 'wrapper', a thin layer over JSXGraph to make it friendlier for emerging geometers learning JavaScript or TypeScript. You can try it here.

One of the design goals is to maximize the scaffolding in VSCode. The image gives a flavor of wrapper syntax, and what you would see in VSCode.

The question immediately arises - how can this wrapper be kept in sync with JSXGraph?

But there are other questions as well.

The organization of functions in the wrapper can be very different from the 'create-with-100-overloads' in JSXGraph.

For example, I have moved Transforms into an object grouping where I would type board.transform.rotate(..., and also create elements from transforms in the same grouping board.transform.circle(....

  // // Rotate image around point "offset" by dragging point "rot+scale"
    let tRot = brd.transform.rotate(() => Math.atan2(p1.Y() - p0.Y(), p1.X() - p0.X()), p0);

Is there any appetite for a new approach to the user interface for JSXGraph? We cannot change the existing interface by even a comma, but a wrapper gives us an opportunity to reimagine JSXGraph.

Hi Friends,

I've released a clean version of the JSXGraph wrapper for TypeScript, with support for almost everything in 1.8.0. Alfred, I would be grateful if you added a link in the next JSXGraph release.
