Scripting
GeoGebra supports two scripting languages -- GGBScript and Javascript. Script is a sequence of actions which can be triggered by
- clicking or updating particular object
- loading the file (in case of Javascript)
- Javascript listeners (see Reference:JavaScript)
You can set this script via Scripting panel of Properties Dialog.
GGBScript
You can create scripts consisting of GeoGebra commands.
- a is an integer-valued slider
- <code>list1={"red","green","blue"}</code>
- in properties of a set On Update script to
SetCaption[a,Element[list1,a]
- by moving the slider you change its color
JavaScript
JavaScript is a programming language used by many internet technologies. Unlike GGB Script, in Javascript the commands don't have to be executed as a simple sequence, but a control flow (if
, while
, for
) can be used. For generic JavaScript you can find a nice tutorial on w3schools.com. In GeoGebra, you can use special JavaScript commands which allow you to change the construction.
Example:
Description of command / feature needed. Please enter it instead of this template into Manual:Scripting. so that it's included also to the public namespace. For more details see Project:HowTo
Complete list of available commands can be found in Reference:JavaScript. GeoGebra contains its own JavaScript engine. When exported as Dynamic Worksheet one can chose whether to use this engine or the one contained in browser in applets.
