Geogebra interactive needs toolbar

[Teresa “Terri” Magnus]

I'm happy to report that my first attempt to add a geogebra interactive was partially successful. Unfortunately, the toolbar doesn't appear and is needed to use the app. Clicking on the url, https://www.geogebra.org/classic/bnayhujg

does show the toolbar, but the embedded interactive does not. 

I have the following:

            <figure xml:id="geogebra-app-for-tri-sum">

                <caption>

                    An interactive Geogebra applet for Triangle Sum Exploration.

                </caption>

           

            <interactive geogebra="bnayhujg"/>

        </figure>

Suggestions appreciated!

Terri

Dear Terri,

Congratulations! ;-)

I don't use GeoGebra, so doing the best I can to help. I think Alex is our
expert - maybe he can pile on.

Find the following in the source of the sample article:

Figure 13.19
https://pretextbook.org/examples/sample-article/html/section-interactive-authored.html#figure-43

It has "extra" Geogebra commands to influence the material. Perhaps there is a
command to turn on the toolbar?

The current implementation for GeoGebra interactives that are implemented through simple linking of GeoGebra material ids hard-codes those attributes.

[For reference, this is in xsl/pretext-html.xsl lines 9894-9901]

If instead of using an interactive with a geogebra tag, you will use a platform tag set to "geogebra" with a geogebra slate inside referencing the same material id, it looks like it will work. This method allows for script customization, although the current example doesn't seem to need any to accomplish what you asked.

<interactive platform="geogebra" >

<slate surface="geogebra" material="bnayhujg"/>

</interactive>

I did notice that the space utilization seems larger this way.

The examples in that document do not include the toolbar either so this may be something that I need to build a work-around in geogebra itself. Another thing for me to learn!

[Teresa “Terri” Magnus]

material="bnayhujg" generates the problem "attribute not allowed here" and now my interactive doesn't appear. Do I need to have something else set up to make that work?

Thanks,

Terri

[D. Brian Walton]

This is what I tried in a sample document and I thought it was working. Did you change the interactive element to use platform and also add a slate?

<figure xml:id="geogebra-app-for-tri-sum-2">

<caption>Attempt 2</caption>

<interactive platform="geogebra" >

<slate surface="geogebra" material="bnayhujg"/>

</interactive>

</figure>

My equal signs look like they didn't paste. I think there is something weird with the color scheme on pasting

       <figure xml:id="geogebra-app-for-tri-sum-2">
          <caption>Attempt 2</caption>
          <interactive platform="geogebra" >
              <slate surface="geogebra" material="bnayhujg"/>
          </interactive>
      </figure>

[Teresa Magnus]

I did. The only things I didn't copy were the id and caption changes. I plan to include a lot of interactives in this textbook, not all of which will be in geogebra, so I hope to figure this out. There is a Polypad by Mathigon interactive that I tried to put in to my introduction with Rob's help in June (in Mobile), but that one doesn't work either.

[Teresa Magnus]

Happy Day! Changing the id seemed to make it rethink and now it works. There are tools and they work. Thank you for your assistance.--Terri

[D. Brian Walton]

I will be working on getting the other method you first tried to accept an extra attribute that would turn it the toolbar on. It shouldn't be necessary to use this work-around method involving the slate when using pre-existing material on Geogebra.

I assume the Polypad issue you mentioned is something outside of Geogebra.

When I helped Terri with this in-person I think she gave me a URL (for
embedding, pointing to an iFrame?), and I put it into interactive/@iframe. Voila.

[Teresa Magnus]

Thanks again! Yes, my polygon activity is through a different site and app. In case you are interested in viewing it, I'll paste my current script below. It sits within the statement of a task of an exploration. This first task is pretty simple. Students are asked to make copies of the L-tetromino and tile the square provided. 

          <image source="magnus-ltetromino" width="50%">

            <description>

              An L-shape and square.The L is three-fourths as high

              and half as wide as the square.

            </description>

          </image>

          <p>

            This task may be completed with pen and paper or using an

            interactive tool.

Just reread Rob's response. Actually, the code

<interactive xml:id="which-fill-square"

iframe="https://www.mathigon.org/polypad/deIUjqp9tTSpa"

preview="preview/whichtetromino.png" width=95% aspect="15:10"/>

produces a sad face and says that mathigon.org refused to connect. At first I thought the problem was with permissions within mathigon.org. Exploring further,  I see the following on the FAQ page on their webpage, https://mathigon.org/faqs so this should be possible:

How do I embed Polypad on other websites?

If you have saved a Polypad canvas, you can embed it on other websites using iFrames – and even customise which tiles and toolbar options you want to show. Watch this video to learn more!

So I watched the video and copied this code for my interactive, <iframe width="720" height="540" src="https://mathigon.org/polypad/embed/deIUjqp9tTSpaQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>.  When I put this in, I got errors and nothing.

Then I changed iframe to interactive in both locations. It really thought about working before giving the following error:

Of course, I know almost nothing about PolyPad.

But just shoving that URL in a browser brings up an error message for me, when I
would think that URS should "just work" somehow.

Do you have other, similar URLS that *do* behave in a browser?

The last part of my message might have been cut off. Here is what Mathigon suggests I use:

<iframe width="720" height="540" src="https://mathigon.org/polypad/embed/deIUjqp9tTSpaQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

so "embed" gets added to the url. I'm still not quite there, but the build tried on Friday when I replaced iframe with interactive. I'll try again tomorrow.

[Teresa “Terri” Magnus]

Solved! 

          <interactive xml:id="which-fill-square"

          iframe="https://www.mathigon.org/polypad/embed/deIUjqp9tTSpaQ"

          preview="whichtetromino" width="95%" aspect="15:10"/>
