FractionText Command

FractionText( <Number> )

Converts the number to a fraction, which is displayed as a (LaTeX) text object in the Graphics View.

Example: If a: y = 1.5 x + 2 is a line, then FractionText(Slope(a)) gives you the fraction 3/2 as a text.

FractionText( <Point> )

Displays the coordinates of the point as fractions in the Graphics View.

Example: If A=(1.33,0.8) is a point, then FractionText(A) gives you the coordinates \left( \frac{133}{100} ,\frac{4}{5} \right) as a text.

FractionText( <Number>, <Boolean>)

Converts the number to a fraction, which is displayed as a (LaTeX) text object in the Graphics View.

The boolean sets the position of a possible negative sign of the fraction. If true, the minus sign will be displayed in the numerator, if false the minus sign will be displayed in front of the fraction.

Examples:

If n = -0.8 is a number, then

• FractionText(n, true) yields \frac{- 4}{5} as a text.
• FractionText(n, false) yields -\frac{4}{5} as a text.
