Web McBilliards
by Pat Hooper and Rich Schwartz
This applet is a web-based version of our program McBilliards.
The purpose of this applet is to let the user explore periodic
billiard paths in triangles. The window you are currently reading
is the info window. You scroll the text using the light blue arrow keys above.
Various parts of the applet have little
boxes with question marks in them.
If you click on these info boxes, this window will document the corresponding
part of the applet.
We already mentioned that you can scroll the text by
clicking on the light blue arrow keys. Here are some other control
features of this window:
- You can change the scroll amount by clicking on the darker blue arrow keys.
- You can change the font size by clicking on the green arrow keys.
Most of the documentation buttons give specific information about
the component they document. However, the documentation
for the main plotting window (the big screen in the middle)
gives an overview of some of the general functions of McBilliards.
You should probably read this documentation before doing
anything else.
