NetPadBrowser: An Offline Browser for Web-Based Dynamic Geometric Resources

NetPad is a web-based dynamic geometry software (DGS) which can run on various terminals in browsers developed by HTML5. The use of NetPad depends on the Internet. When the Internet is not available, users cannot use it. To address this problem, this paper designs and implements a browser, NetPadBrowser, to support exploring the NetPad resources offline. NetPadBrowser is based on the Electron framework and web front-end development technology. It is packaged and deployed on the Windows operation system to verify the feasibility of this development mode, and the mode can be easily ported to the Mac operation system.
