Hello, Cube!

My first X3DOM page

Hello, Cube!

    Figure 1:  It is possible to script Three-dimensional objects with X3DOM.  X3DOM follows the declarative scripting paradigm of two-dimensional SVG as opposed to following the programming imperative paradigm of JavaScript and Canvas.

This is my first html page that includes a three-dimensional object.

X3DOM is a Javascript library that allows one to code three-dimensional objects - such as cubes, speheres, cylinders, etc. - with tags, just as SVG allows one to do with two dimensional objects - squares, circles etc.

You can manipulate the below cube with your finger - should you be employing a touchscreen - or with your mouse cursor - should you be employing a desktop.

Should you use two fingers on a touch-screen device, then you can scale the size of the cube in real time.

Holding one's two fingers to the screen and pulling them apart, makes the cube appear bigger.

Holding one's two fungers to the screen and pulling them together makes the cube appear smaller.

You can check out X3DOM at their website:

Body: We shall now examine each class of Syllable Length in turn: Long Syllables: In Ancient Greek, a syllable is considered long , by nature, should it contain one of the vowels: η , ω ; or long: ᾱ , ῑ , ῡ , ; or diphthongs: αι , ει , οι , αυ , ου , υι , ευ , ηυ .  Syllables that are long by nature [1] . are held for the length of two morae [2] ., which is analogous to a minim or a half note in music.

The Naming of Sets in Set Theory:

The Naming of Sets in Set Theory Figure 1:   I drew this set-naming italic character in SVG.  You may view the code of this image at my Codepen Account . Figure 2: What the SVG image looks like when exported as a PNG. [1] In Set Theory - which underpins so much of computing mathematics - we conventionally name sets with capital italic letters. In computer science, a name such as: A , would be termed an: ‘identifier’ . In the below example, we shall use the capital italic character: R so as to name the members of the set of Radix-ten [2] integers. Figure 3: “ A SQUARE-ROOT SIGN   This sign is from radix (Latin for root) and was first used by Leonardo da Pisa in 1220.  Today’s √ sign, which may be a distortion of the letter “r”, is sixteenth-century German.” [3] An Example of Naming a Set with an Italic Italic Capital Character
