Note that API v1.1 is currently an experimental preview that will be stabilized and released in June of 2018. API v1.0 should be used in production.
Added more evaluation information to the
expressionAnalysis observable object.
Added fill and fillOpacity properties
that may be set via setExpression. They determine whether the interior of a polygon or parametric
curve is shaded, and at what opacity.
The style property on expression objects passed into setExpression has been deprecated and split
into pointStyle and lineStyle, which control which style
is applied to each type of object plotted by the expression. Although support for using the
style property continues in API v1.1, it may be removed in future versions.
Added the ability to control visibility of points and line segments when plotting point
lists. You may set boolean points and lines properties through setExpression that will control
whether points, lines, or both are plotted.
Deprecated the columnMode property for table columns.
It has been split into boolean point and line properties that control whether points and lines should be
plotted, respectively. Although support for using columnMode continues in API v1.1, it may be removed in
future versions. Objects passed into setExpression should use the new points and lines properties instead.
Table columns now accept more drawing styles. You
may optionally include a pointStyle and lineStyle on columns provided as part of a call to setExpression.
Added a settingsMenu constructor option to the four-function and scientific calculators.
Added a brailleMode constructor option and setting to the four-function and scientific calculators. This option allows persons using refreshable Braille displays to read and write equations using either the Nemeth or UEB math codes.
Added a sixKeyInput constructor option and setting to the four-function and scientific calculators. This option allows users to write the six-dot Braille characters using the Home Row keys (S, D, F, J, K, and L).
Added a projectorMode constructor option and setting to the four-function and scientific calculators.
Added the ability to shade the interiors of polygons and parametric curves.
Added a polygon command that creates a polygon from a list of points, a comma-separated sequence
of point arguments, or two numeric lists.
Added more drawing style options for point lists in order to bring their behavior closer to that of table columns.
Added more flexibility in drawing styles for points and line table columns.
Added a quartile function that uses the Moore and McCabe method in order to better align with
U.S. educational standards.

Added an invertedColors constructor option and graph setting for all three calculators, which enables an inverted color scheme.
Deprecated the GraphingCalculator.focusedMathQuill observable property. This feature may be removed in a future version.
Added a GraphingCalculator.expressionAnalysis observable object that contains information about the calculator's evaluation of each expression.
Added methods to all calculators for moving through or clearing the undo/redo history.
Added a GraphingCalculator.getExpressions method that returns an array of expression states.
Added a listValue observable property to helper expressions that evaluate to lists.
Added a GraphingCalculator.asyncScreenshot method that takes screenshots asynchronously for increased flexibility when needed.
The deprecated singleVariableSolutions constructor option has been removed. The graphing calculator no longer displays solutions to single variable equations in the expression list.

It will be removed in future API versions.GraphingCalculator and BasicCalculator instances to unbind listeners and free resources.GraphingCalculator.getState by eliding default settings and expression properties. In many cases, this reduces the size of saved states by more than 50%.autosize constructor option to control automatic resizing behavior. Because this option is enabled by default, it is no longer required to call .resize() when updating the calculator's dimensions.File Size (gzipped): 384kb
Desmos.Calculator constructor renamed to Desmos.GraphingCalculator. Desmos.Calculator will be retained as a legacy alias indefinitely for backwards compatibility.calculator.setGraphSettings in favor of calculator.updateSettings. calculator.updateSettings is now available as part of all three calculators.calculator.graphSettings observable property to calculator.settings. calculator.graphSettings will be retained as a legacy alias for backwards compatibility.lang URL parameter in the API script src. The language of a calculator instance can be set and updated using the calculator.updateSettings function.colors constructor option. Colors of existing states can be optionally remapped by passing the {remapColors: true} option to calculator.setState.calculator.setState and calculator.setBlank now clear the undo/redo history by default. To preserve the history after either operation, pass in an additional argument of {allowUndo: true}.calculator.setDefaultState method to allow replacing the “Delete All” button with a “Reset” button that sets a custom default state instead of the blank state.focusFirstExpression method to all calculators to allow focusing the first expression.{preserveAxisNumbers: true} option to calculator.screenshot.degreeMode constructor option to allow initializing the angle mode of a scientific or graphing calculator.unobserve method.fontSize property to updateSettings.images, folders, and notes constructor options to allow optionaly disabling images, folders, and notes.restrictedFunctions constructor option to the graphing calculator that removes certain functionality that may not be allowed in some testing environments.qwertyKeyboard constructor option to the graphing and scientific calculators that allow changing the QWERTY keyboard to an alphabetical layout to comply with requirements of certain testing environments.dragMode property within Calculator.setExpression.(1,2) can now be made draggable by long-pressing their expression icon and selecting a drag mode.1/0 evaluates to undefined instead of Infinity.π/2.File Size (gzipped): 467kb
change event to the calculator that can be used to determine when a user's work should be persisted.{administerSecretFolders: true} option, users will be allowed to create secret folders and see their contents. When loaded into a calculator with {administerSecretFolders: false} (the default), secret folders are hidden from users, but their contents are still graphed, and any functions or variables defined in secret folders can still be used. This workflow is useful for creating activities that ask students to describe the properties of unknown functions.solutions constructor option has been split into separate pointsOfInterest and singleVariableSolutions options.| Name | v0.6 | v0.7 |

targetPixelRatio option to calculator.screenshot, which is useful for producing oversampled images that display well on high pixel density (“retina”) screens. Defaults to 1. Previous versions of the API behaved as if this option was instead set to window.devicePixelRatio, which meant that if the client was on a retina device, screenshots would actually have dimensions twice as large as specified.Desmos.Colors.next method.

Note that the argument to calculator.setMathBounds is an object with top, bottom, left, and right properties, whereas the argument to calculator.setViewport was an array with 4 elements. calculator.setViewport is still available for backwards compatibility, but may be deprecated in a future version.calculator.setGraphSettings and observe these properties through calculator.graphSettings.calculator.removeSelected method, and the calculator.isAnyExpressionSelected observable property. Note that these methods are likely to be superseded by richer ways of manipulating (possibly multiple) selected expressions in the future.calculator.focusedMathQuill observable property. This property gives access to the currently focused mathquill object when there is one, allowing direct use of the Mathquill API. Note that we are currently using the dev branch of Mathquill, which we expect will become master before API v0.5 is stabilized.id expression property became optional. calculator.setExpression({latex: 'y=x'}) is now a valid way to create a line, but note that it is not currently possible to manipulate an expression through the API after it is created unless an id is specified.total, length, mean, median, quantile, mad, stdev, var, cov, and corr.File Size (gzipped): 407kb
