JSXGraph is a cross-browser library for interactive geometry, function plotting, charting, and data visualization in a web browser. It is implemented completely in JavaScript, does not rely on any other library, and uses SVG, canvas, or even the venerable VML. JSXGraph is easy to embed and has a small footprint: approx. 200 KByte if embedded in a web page. No plug-ins are required! Special care has been taken to optimize the performance.

JSXGraph supports multi-touch events and runs on all major browsers, even on very old IEs.

JSXGraph is developed at the Lehrstuhl für Mathematik und ihre Didaktik University of Bayreuth, Germany

To build JSXGraph run $ npm run buildCore. This will output an non-minified version jsxgraphsrc.js and the minified version jsxgraphcore.js into the folder distrib.
Develop JSXGraph:

Edit the source files in the folder src
Write unit tests in folder test
Run $ npm run eslint and $ npm run test to check for errors
