JXG.GeometryElement
↳ JXG.Curve
↳ Parabola
This element is used to provide a constructor for a parabola. A parabola is given by one point (the focus) and a line (the directrix).
Defined in: Conic.js.

Element Detail
Parabola
-
This element has no direct constructor. To create an instance of this element you have to call JXG.Board#create
with type "parabola".
- Possible parent array combinations are:
-
{JXG.Point|array} point
{JXG.Line} line
- Parent elements are a point and a line. Optional parameters three and four are numbers which define the curve length (e.g. start/end). Default values are -pi and pi.
- Throws:
- {Exception}
- If the element cannot be constructed with the given parent objects an exception is thrown.
- Examples:
// Create a parabola by a point C and a line l.
var A = board.create('point', [-1,4]);
var B = board.create('point', [-1,-4]);
var l = board.create('line', [A,B]);
var C = board.create('point', [1,1]);
var el = board.create('parabola',[C,l]);
