Global options may be changed in the menu Options.

Note: To change object settings, please use the Context Menu and

Properties Dialog.

Algebra Descriptions

You can set how objects will be represented in Algebra View with this item. There are three possibilities:

Value: show current value of the object.
Definition: show user-friendly description of the object, e.g. "Intersection of a and b."
Command: show the command that was used to create the object, e.g. "Intersect[a,b]".

Rounding

This menu item allows you to set the number of decimal places or significant figures displayed on screen.

Labeling

You can specify whether the label of a newly created object should be shown or not. You can choose between the settings Automatic, All New Objects, No New Objects, New Points Only'.

Note: The setting Automatic shows the labels of newly created objects if the

Algebra View is shown.

GeoGebra is multilingual and allows you to change the current language setting. This affects all input including command names and all output.

Note: No matter which language was selected, the globe icon will lead you back to the Language menu. All language names are always displayed in English.
