Customizing GeoGebra’s User Interface

GeoGebra allows you to customize its user interface according to the mathematical topic you want to work with.

Standard Perspectives

GeoGebra provides a set of standard Perspectives. You can easily switch between Perspectives using the Perspectives Sidebar (GeoGebra Desktop) or the Perspectives Menu (GeoGebra Web and Tablet Apps). For more information please check out Selecting a Perspective.

Menu view algebra.png Algebra Perspective

The Algebra Perspective consists of the Algebra View and the Graphics View. By default, the coordinate axes are shown in the Graphics View. Furthermore, the Graphics View Toolbar is displayed at the top of the GeoGebra window. Please note that in GeoGebra 5.0 Desktop the Input Bar is displayed as well at the bottom of the GeoGebra window while in the GeoGebra 5.0 Web and Tablet Apps an Input Field is integrated into the Algebra View (see Input Bar and Input Field).

The Geometry Perspective displays the Graphics View without the coordinate axes, as well as the Graphics View Toolbar.

Menu view spreadsheet.png Spreadsheet Perspective

The Spreadsheet Perspective consists of the Spreadsheet View and the Graphics View. By default, the coordinate axes are shown in the Graphics View. Depending on which of these Views is activated, either the Graphics View Toolbar or the Spreadsheet View Toolbar are shown at the top of the GeoGebra window.

Menu view cas.png CAS Perspective

The CAS Perspective consists of the CAS View and the Graphics View. By default, the coordinate axes are shown in the Graphics View. Depending on which of these Views is activated, either the Graphics View Toolbar or the CAS View Toolbar are shown at the top of the GeoGebra window.

Perspectives algebra 3Dgraphics.png 3D Graphics Perspective

The 3D Graphics Perspective consists of the 3D Graphics View and the Algebra View. By default, the coordinate axes and the x-y-plane are shown in the 3D Graphics View. Furthermore, the 3D Graphics View Toolbar is displayed at the top of the GeoGebra window. Please note that in GeoGebra 5.0 Desktop the Input Bar is displayed as well at the bottom of the GeoGebra window while in the GeoGebra 5.0 Web and Tablet App an Input Field is integrated into the Algebra View (see Input Bar and Input Field).
