Graphics View

Using the construction tools available in the Toolbar you can do geometric constructions in the Graphics View with the mouse. Select any construction tool from the Toolbar and read the Toolbar Help (next to the Toolbar) in order to find out how to use the selected tool. Any object you create in the Graphics View also has an algebraic representation in the Algebra View.

Note: After activating the tool mode_move_32 Move you are able to move objects in the Graphics View by dragging them with the mouse. At the same time, their algebraic representations are dynamically updated in the Algebra View.

Every icon in the Toolbar represents a toolbox that contains a selection of similar construction tools. In order to open a toolbox, you need to click on the small arrow in the lower right corner of the Toolbar icon.

Hint: Construction tools are organized by the nature of resulting objects or the functionality of the tools. You will find tools that create different types of points in the Point Toolbox (default icon ) and tools that allow you to apply geometric transformations in the Transformation Toolbox (default icon ).
