Abstract

CindyJS is a framework for creating interactive (mathematical) content for the web. It can be extended using plugins, two of which are presented here.

  • Cindy3D enables displaying 3D content via WebGL.

  • The KaTeX plugin typesets formulas within CindyJS.

We also discuss the general structure of plugins in CindyJS.

M. von Gaqern was supported by the project “M C Squared” which has received funding from the EU 7th Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement no. 610467.

M. von Gaqern and J. Richter-Gebert were supported by the DFG Collaborative Research Center TRR 109, “Discretization in Geometry and Dynamics”.
