Re: [Dr. Geo] How do I indicate function values? (DrGeo DSL)

[Hilaire Fernandes]

Hi Hannes,

The y-value does not exist. It is not needed to plot the curve. Indeed, the plot is based on the geometric locus, it depends on a mobile point on a line and dependent point, here a point whose coordinates are computed by the block of code. 

See its implementation in the ckass DrGeoSketch. It is a kind of user side implementation, not part of the core Dr. Geo model:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

plot: f from: x0 to: x1 | mobile s pen| s := self segment: x0@0 to: x1@0. mobile := self pointOnLine: s at: 0. pen := self point: [:item | item point x @ (f value: item point x)] parent: mobile. ^ (self locusOf: pen when: mobile) color: Color blue

To compute by yourself the y-value, you will need the method above to return the pen point as-well.

You can edit it so it returns a 2-array with both the locus and the pen.

Hi Hilaire

I have the following code

| sketch f     |
sketch := DrGeoSketch new axesOn gridOn.
f := [ :x | 0.2 * x * x - 1].
sketch plot: f from: -6 to: 6.

If I execute it I get two points without names.

One on the x-axis and one on the graph.

The point on the x-axis may be dragged to the right and the point on the graph follows.

How make the y-value of the point on the diagram appear?
