When creating an angle, how do I control the attributes of the automatically created points?

Question

I'm working with a polygon and attempting to create angles with labels but when angles are created, so are the points used to define them. This would be fine but I can't control the labels on the automatically created points (and I don't know what they are called or how to find out).

var points = [
  [0, 0],
  [0, 5],
  [3, 0]
];
    for (k = 0; k < showAngle.length; k++) {
  if (showAngle[k] == 1) {
    var angle = board.create('angle', [points[k], points[((k + 1) % points.length)], points[((k + 2) % points.length)]],{fixed:true});
  } else if (showAngle[k] == 2) {
    var angle = board.create('angle', [points[k], points[((k + 1) % points.length)], points[((k + 2) % points.length)]], {
      fixed: false,
      name: function() {
        return ((180/Math.PI)*JXG.Math.Geometry.rad(points[k], points[((k + 1) % points.length)], points[((k + 2) % points.length)])).toFixed(1) + '°';
      }
    });
  }
}

https://jsfiddle.net/jscottuq/acyrLxfh/12/ contains what I've got so far.

The arrays showLen and showAngle are setting what labels are shown for each side/angle (0 - no label, 1 - name , 2 - measurement). These will be set when the jsxgraph is created.

At the time being, the possibility to control the style of the newly created points of an angle is missing. We will add this soon.

However, a solution would be to use the already existing points which are hidden in this example. For this it would be helpful to kee a list of these points, e.g. jxg_points:

var jxg_points = [];
for (i = 0; i < points.length; i++) {
  var rise = points[(i + 1) % points.length][1] - points[i][1];
  var run = points[(i + 1) % points.length][0] - points[i][0];
  var point = board.create('point', [points[i][0], points[i][1]], {
    fixed: true,
    visible:false
  });
  jxg_points.push(point); // Store the point
  points[i].pop();
  len[i] = Math.round((Math.sqrt(rise * rise + run * run) + Number.EPSILON) * 100) / 100;
}

Then the points can be reused for the angles without creating new points:

for (k = 0; k < showAngle.length; k++) {
  if (showAngle[k] == 1) {
    angle = board.create('angle', [
      jxg_points[k], 
      jxg_points[((k + 1) % jxg_points.length)], 
      jxg_points[((k + 2) % jxg_points.length)]
    ],{fixed:true});
  } else if (showAngle[k] == 2) {
    var angle = board.create('angle', [
          jxg_points[k], 
          jxg_points[((k + 1) % jxg_points.length)], 
          jxg_points[((k + 2) % jxg_points.length)]], {
      fixed: false,
      name: function() {
        return ((180/Math.PI)*JXG.Math.Geometry.rad(points[k], points[((k + 1) % points.length)], points[((k + 2) % points.length)])).toFixed(1) + '°';
      }
    });
  }
}
