This dialog is available via the ''Options'' item in [[Options Menu]]. It is divided into five parts: Defaults, Graphics, Spreadsheet, CAS and Advanced.
+
{{note|The following only applies to the GeoGebra Desktop Version.}}
==Defaults==
+
<br>
This part of the dialog lets you define properties of newly created objects. You can set properties for each object type separately, for points there are five subtypes. The way properties are set is similar to [[Properties Dialog]]
+
This dialog is available by selecting the [[Image:Menu_Properties_Gear.png|link=|18px]] ''Advanced'' item in [[Options Menu]], or by clicking the [[Image:Menu_Properties_Gear.png|link=|18px]] ''Preferences'' icon on the toolbar.
==Graphics==
+
It is divided into different sections, which are shown depending on active objects and Views: [[Image:Options-objects24.png|link=|18px]] ''Properties'', [[File:Menu view graphics.svg|link=|16px]] ''Graphics'', [[File:Menu view cas.svg|link=|16px]] ''CAS'', [[File:Menu view spreadsheet.svg|link=|16px]] ''Spreadsheet'', [[Image:Options-layout24.png|link=|18px]] ''Layout'', [[Image:Properties_defaults_3.png|link=|18px]] ''Defaults'', and [[Image:Options-advanced24.png|link=|18px]] ''Advanced''.
Allows you to set the zoom of graphics view, its axes and grid. See [[Customizing the Graphics View#Customizing Coordinate Axes and Grid|Customizing Coordinate Axes and Grid]] for details.
+
==[[Image:Options-objects24.png|link=]] Properties==
==Spreadsheet==
+
This section is displayed only if an object is currently selected in the construction. Clicking on the related icon displays the [[Properties Dialog]] of the object.
Allows you to show or hide the inputbar, gridlines, column/row header and scrollbars. You can also enable using buttons and checkboxes.
+
==[[File:Menu view graphics.svg|link=|22px]] Graphics==
==CAS==
+
This section is displayed only if the [[File:Menu view graphics.svg|link=|16px]] ''Graphics View'' is active, and allows you to define its settings, e.g. background colour, axes and grid. See [[Customizing the Graphics View]] for further details.
Allows you to define a timeout for the [[CAS]] in seconds.
+
== [[File:Menu view cas.svg|link=|22px]] CAS==
==Advanced==
+
This section is displayed only if the [[File:Menu view cas.svg|link=|16px]] ''CAS View'' is active, and allows you to:
* ''Virtual Keyboard'': You can set the ''virtual keyboard language'' and the width/height of the virtual keyboard.
+
* set a timeout for the [[File:Menu view cas.svg|link=|16px]] [[CAS_View|CAS]] calculations, in seconds
* ''Tooltips'': You can set the ''tooltip language'' and a timeout for tooltips.
+
* set how to show rational exponents
* ''Language'': You can use digits and point names specified for your language.
+
