Apparatus

Apparatus is a hybrid graphics editor and 网际直通车 for creating interactive diagrams.

The Apparatus Editor runs in the browser and interactive diagrams created with Apparatus can be shared and embedded on the web (coming soon).

Apparatus is free, open-source software, under development on GitHub.

One-liners will be evaluated.

网际直通车

If you have a multi-line expression, use 网际直通车 at the end.

var x = 32;
return x * x;

1024

All of the javascript Math constants and methods are in scope.

abs(-3) + sin(PI)

Additionally, the constant TAU (2*PI) is in scope.

cos(TAU / 6)

0.5

A color utility function rgba(r, g, b, a) is in scope.

rgba(1.0, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5)

"rgba(255, 128, 128, 0.5)"

Use spread to create spreads.

Create a range:

spread(0, 5)

0, 1, 2, 3, 4

Create a range with an increment:

spread(0, 5, 0.5)

0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5

Turn a javascript array into a spread:

spread([0, 2, 3, 5])

0, 2, 3, 5

Apparatus is still an early stage project so there are likely bugs. Please report any issues on the GitHub Issues page. Thanks!

Apparatus aims to support all modern browsers but has been mostly tested in Chrome.

Apparatus will auto-save your diagram. If it crashes (stops working), try refreshing and your diagram will be restored to its last working state.
