"The drawing is right on an html page...."

Yes, but how do I get one there to start with?

OK still confused. There is no documentation on how to create objects from scratch. When I browse through the examples, some of them have the source code. So I could copy the code, but then I have no idea what to do with it (remember I am not a programmer). There still seems to be no way to create objects from scratch, i.e. an html page where I can create points, segments and such using a menu. Also none of the examples on the page come close to what I want, so I would be hard pressed to edit them anyway.

I have read through the tutorials, and the best I can get is to copy html code for everything I want to create. So it appears that the only way to get an object is to create/copy the code for it. Still a lot of programming going on.

What I was looking for was a drawing program, i.e. Geometer Sketchpad to create the objects and then something else to convert it to an applet.

I was under the impression that jsxgraph was a drawing tool, but it appears that you have to piece you objects together from the drawings that someone else has already created.

For instance, how does one create:

from scratch?
