[LON-CAPA-users] GeoGebra (Function Plot Response) Problem - Turn off snap to grid

[Jon Hall]

Is there any way to turn off the “snap to grid” feature in the Function Plot Response problems? 

Some of the vector heads/tails that students have to manipulate are so close to certain grid junctions that the vector snaps to the junction, but that moves them to a position that the computer then evaluates as incorrect.

I have tried setting the grid visibility to off, but the snap to feature is still present.

An example of a problematic problem is shown below:

<problem>
<script type="loncapa/perl">
$IADx=&random(5400,6000,200);
$BOSx=&random(4800,5200,50);
$BOSy=&random(700,950,50);
$d2=&sqrt(($IADx-$BOSx)**2+($BOSy)**2);
$theta2=&atan(($IADx-$BOSx)/$BOSy)*$rad2deg;
$dt=&sqrt(($BOSx)**2+($BOSy)**2);
$thetat=&atan(($BOSx)/$BOSy)*$rad2deg;
</script>

<startouttext />
a) Amit flies due east from San Francisco (SFO) to Washington, D.C. (IAD), a displacement of &format($IADx,'1f') km. He then flies from Washington to Boston (BOS), a displacement of &format($d2,'1f') km at an angle of &format($theta2,'1f')° west of north. <p />

<li>In the diagram below the black vectors can be moved by grabbing them in the center and they can be adjusted by grabbing the blue dots at either end.</li>
<li>The red vector automatically adjusts itself and you should not try to change its position or length manually.</li>
<li>Move and adjust the SFOtoIAD vector so it originates at SFO and terminates at IAD.</li>
<li>Move and adjust the IADtoBOS vector so it originates at IAD and terminates at BOS.</li>
<li>Notice that the red resultant vector changes as you change the other two vectors.</li>
<li>When you have adjusted the black vectors as described, press the submit button.</li>
</ol>

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
