Changes and corrections to the JavaSketchpad grammar, DR2 and DR3 versions


DR3


Dilation/3PtRatio: The formula for the ratio was given incorrectly as |AB|/|AC|.

DR2


Changed section 3.0 to state that the applet can come from any
place on the Web, not just your own server. (First paragraph
changed, second inserted.)


Sections 3.0 and 3.13: The ARCHIVE name is "JSP_DR2.zip", not "jsp_dr2.zip".
That's how the file is stored both at Keypress and MathForum.
Using the lower-case version causes the ARCHIVE parameter to be ignored,
so the download reverts to a huge number of net connections.


Added semantic explanations to the parameter lists in section 5.
Look for lists in curled braces {} within the sub-headings.
If the list is missing, I haven't checked that construction yet.


Intersect1 and 2: wrong parameter order

Ray: wrong parameter order

Perpendicular: wrong parameter order

Parallel: wrong parameter order

Translation: Note added about Y direction

Calculate: Note added in paragraph about numeric constants

Image: Relative URLs don't work. Example changed and note added.

Show/HideButton: Added note about buttons showing and hiding buttons.
