Embedded GeoGebra: Segments do not render

Answered

When a GeoGebra app is embedded following the instructions given in https://wiki.geogebra.org/e...,

line segments do not render (not visible). Vectors are visible.

When the same app is viewed directly via the browser (using the url http://www.geogebra.org/...), lines render fine.

What is the reason for this discrepancy?

I just found out that rendering is fine if I set "appName": "geometry" rather than "appName": "graphing". I'm not sure why this difference causes segments not to render.

Segments aren't supported in Graphing as you've noticed

Thanks Michael for the clarification and quick reply. Referring to my comment below, which I should have written as a reply to your answer rather than a separate comment, what is the correct material id? nmjqmvhd, which appears in the url https://www.geogebra.org/m/nmjqmvhd, or jfxck34u.

Thanks. The app loads and works fine. But when I checked the browser console, I observed the error message:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 () https://www.geogebra.org/re...

In the above url, "jfxck34u" is the id that appears if I were to embed the app using an iframe.

The id that I have used for embedding in the webpage is "nmjqmvhd", which I believe is the "material id", which appears in the url https://www.geogebra.org/m/nmjqmvhd.

What is the cause of the above error in the console?

Adding some more information, I can see the same error in the browser console when I use the url https://www.geogebra.org/m/nmjqmvhd to view the app.

It turns out that the missing material-jfxck34u.png is actually the thumbnail png image that is supposed to be auto-generated. It sometimes fails to auto-generate. By changing the Preview Image by going to Activity Setting appears to fix the problem. It appears to take a while for the changed Preview Image to take effect.
