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 will objects 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]".

Point Capturing

This menu item determines if the point capturing is Off or if points are captured by the grid (item Snap to Grid) or constrained on the grid (item Fixed to Grid)

Note: Option Automatic turns the point capturing On when the grid or the coordinate system are shown and turns it Off if they are hidden.

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 All New Objects, No New Objects, New Points Only, and Automatic.

Note: The setting Automatic shows the labels of newly created objects if the Algebra View is shown.

Language

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.

Settings ...

This menu item opens the Settings Dialog.

Note: You can also open this dialog window by right clicking (Mac OS: Ctrl‐click) on the Graphics View or Spreadsheet View and selecting Graphics ... and Spreadsheet Options respectively.

Save Settings

GeoGebra remembers your favorite settings (e. g., settings in the Options menu, current Toolbar and Graphics View settings) if you select Save settings in the Options menu.

Restore Default Settings

You can restore the default settings of GeoGebra using this menu item.
