Assignments

Assignments (or jobs) are incompletely displayed constructions, which the user is supposed to finish. The computer will check for a correctly constructed target object. The construction itself might be different though. The user will receive a message, as soon as he has completed the construction.

Assignments can be used in the application or in a web applet. For the application, is is probably necessary to use a restricted icon bar. In applets, only the visible icons can be used.

Assignments are generated by choosing the last object, which should be displayed to the user. Furthermore, there must be target objects. The target objects will be displayed in a light color, unless they are hidden before the construction is saved.

Targets are not checked, if they are generated while pressing the shift key. This is useful to give hint targets, which are objects that can not be used in the construction, but are visible.

To test the assignment in the application, click on the menu entry for this. In contrast to the web page, you will have the complete set of tools available. However, you can define a restricted icon bar.

Area objects as targets should be defined by the least set of corner points. If the solving user creates additional points on the sides of the polygons those points will be skipped by the check routine.
