This page gives an overview of the new features in GeoGebra 4.2 since version 4. Please see our fully revised  [http://wiki.geogebra.org/en/Manual:Main_Page GeoGebra Help] document for more detailed descriptions of each new tool and command.  
  
You can install '''GeoGebra 4''' by using our [http://www.geogebra.org/webstart/4.0/geogebra.jnlp Webstart] or [http://www.geogebra.org/download/ Download] option.
+
'''GeoGebra 4.2 is currently in beta test'''. Details of how to run it are here: http://www.geogebra.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=23208
  
GeoGebra 4 will not run on Java 1.4.2, so you need to install at least Java 5 from [http://www.java.com java.com]

+
= General =
* Restricted set of Tools available
+
* Algebra View: options to sort by Construction Order & by Layer
* All available Tools visible at once
+
* Settings -> Advanced -> Use Path and Region Parameters: "On" makes Points on objects keep their Path Parameter when the parent object is moved (the behaviour in GeoGebra 4), "Off" makes them stay as close as possible to their old position.
* Larger Font size
+
* Double-click on a View's title bar to maximize it
* Larger / Thicker Objects
+
* Logical implication operator added (-> or→) eg a = false → true
* Just the Graphics View showing

* Alt-drag on a parabola to rescale it (keeping the vertex fixed)
* Easier to select objects
+
* When dragging a parabola, the vertex now snaps to grid (if appropriate)
* Labeling of objects disabled (by default)
+
* Buttons can be resized, be made bold & italic or include an image
* Angles always between 0° and 180° (by default)

* Better (localizable) dynamic texts created by the Area / Perimeter Tools (eg Area of c = 3.14)
 
+
* String comparison (eg "AA" < "AB" gives true)
=Tools=
+
* Improved axis labeling when grid is showing
==New Tools==

Draw a rectangle with the Move Tool first to draw onto a selected region of the Graphics View, or select an existing image first to draw into it. Right-hand mouse button acts as an eraser.

==Changed Tools==
 
 
 
* [http://wiki.geogebra.org/en/Translate_Object_by_Vector_Tool Translate Object by Vector Tool]
 
As well as clicking on an object, then clicking on/to make a vector, you can now just '''drag an object to translate it''' (like a "Clone" Tool)
 
 
 
* [http://wiki.geogebra.org/en/Insert_Text_Tool Insert Text Tool]
 
This has been completely rewritten so that dynamic texts are now very easy to make.
 
 
 
Just select the object you want to insert from the "Objects" drop-down menu and it will appear in a rectangle to indicate that it is a dynamic object, not plain text.
 
 
 
If you right-click on the rectangle, you can select "Definition" or "Value" for each dynamic object.
 
There is also now a preview, a Symbol drop-down menu and a row of recently used symbols.
 
 
 
Also, Texts can now be moved by dragging while the Text Tool is selected.
 
 
 
* [http://wiki.geogebra.org/en/Slider_Tool Slider Tool]
 
Sliders can now be only moved by dragging while the Slider Tool is selected, or dragging with the right mouse button pressed when the Move Tool is selected.

* PolyLine
 
  Like a Polygon, but not closed and not filled. See the PolyLine Tool.

* Create table
 
* Import data file
 
 
 
==Scripting==
 
 
 
All GeoGebra objects can now have a script associated with them. This can be a list of GeoGebra commands and/or some JavaScript. So for example an image or a circle can now act as a button.
 
<br/><br/>
 
The new Button and TextField objects have been specifically designed to support scripts.
 
When you type some text into a textfield and press <Enter>, the text is passed to a script as %0, so you can have commands such as:<br/>
 
text = "%0"<br/>
 
Text[%0,(3,4)]<br/>
 
<br/>
 
The text is also passed to JavaScript as a variable 'arg' allowing commands such as:<br/>
 
ggbApplet.evalCommand('input="' + arg + '"');<br/>
 
<br>
 
GeoGebra now has a built-in JavaScript interpreter. When exporting to a dynamic worksheet, the JavaScript for each button is exported to a separate function in the HTML file and the browser is used to run the JavaScript.
 
<br><br/>
 
The Global JavaScript is available to all functions, and is also exported to the HTML file.
 
 
 
Extra supported commands:
 
 
 
* alert("hello");
 
* prompt("What's your favorite software","GeoGebra");
 
 
 
==List Operations==
 
 
 
<Object> ∈ <List> is an element of
 
 
 
<List> ⊆ <List> is subset of
 
 
 
<List> ⊂ <List> is subset of (strict)
 
 
 
<List> \ <List> set difference
 
 
 
=Virtual Keyboard=
 
 
 
View the new on-screen keyboard by going to '''View -> Show Keyboard'''
 
 
 
It will be transparent if you are running Java 1.6.0_10 or higher on a supported Operating System / Graphics Card
 
(Go to '''Help -> About''' to check)
 
 
 
* Keyboards for Math, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Korean, Hindi, French, German, Swedish, Norwegian, Malayalam, Czech, Croatian, Hungarian, Persian, Spanish and English (US and UK) including all accents etc

Revision as of 16:35, 14 May 2012

This page gives an overview of the new features in GeoGebra 4.2 since version 4. Please see our fully revised GeoGebra Help document for more detailed descriptions of each new tool and command.

GeoGebra 4.2 is currently in beta test. Details of how to run it are here: http://www.geogebra.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=23208

Compatibility with GeoGebra 3.2 and GeoGebra 4

Details about compatibility with old versions can be found here: http://wiki.geogebra.org/en/Manual:Compatibility

Running on XO OLPC / Sugar

http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/GeoGebra

CAS View

http://wiki.geogebra.org/en/CAS_View

General

  • Algebra View: options to sort by Construction Order & by Layer
  • Settings -> Advanced -> Use Path and Region Parameters: "On" makes Points on objects keep their Path Parameter when the parent object is moved (the behaviour in GeoGebra 4), "Off" makes them stay as close as possible to their old position.
  • Double-click on a View's title bar to maximize it
  • Logical implication operator added (-> or→) eg a = false → true
  • Alt-drag on a parabola to rescale it (keeping the vertex fixed)
  • When dragging a parabola, the vertex now snaps to grid (if appropriate)
  • Buttons can be resized, be made bold & italic or include an image
  • Default polarity for mouse wheel zoom changed
  • Better (localizable) dynamic texts created by the Area / Perimeter Tools (eg Area of c = 3.14)
  • String comparison (eg "AA" < "AB" gives true)
  • Improved axis labeling when grid is showing
  • Ability to lock xAxis:yAxis ratio
  • Set defaults for Inequalities
  • All the FitXXX commands can be used on freehand functions
  • "Share..." button in the Manage Tools dialog to upload Tools (ie .ggt) to GeoGebra [work in progress]

Improved Tools

You can now just drag a shape to translate it

New Tools

New Functions

  • psi(x)

The Digamma function

  • polygamma(m, x)

The Polygamma function is the (m+1)th derivative of the natural logarithm of the Gamma function, gamma(x) (m=0,1)

  • sinIntegral(x)

The Sine Integral function

  • cosIntegral(x)

The Cosine Integral function

  • expIntegral(x)

The Exponential Integral function

Improved Commands

  • Numerator now works for functions of more than one variable
  • Denominator now works for functions of more than one variable

New Commands

New Keyboard & Mouse Shortcuts

  • <Ctrl><Shift>E: Open Object Properties View
  • <Ctrl><Shift>B: Export as GeoGebraWeb to Clipboard
  • In Text Tool, <Alt>Left, <Alt>Right to move in/out of formula boxes, <Alt>Enter, <Alt>Up, <Alt>Down to create a new formula box

Description of all Keyboard Shortcuts

New Applet Parameters

Description of all GeoGebra Applet Parameters

New Command Line Arguments

If you use command line arguments, make sure you allocate enough memory, eg:
java -Xms32m -Xmx512m -jar geogebra.jar --export=bitmap.png --dpi=300 spiral.ggb

--export=<File> Exports the Graphics View to SVG/PNG/PDF/EMF/EPS as determined by the extension
--dpi=<Integer> (only used in conjunction with --export)

Description of all GeoGebra Command Line Arguments

New JavaScript commands

  • registerLoggerListener(functionName), unregisterLoggerListener(functionName) to access Vernier Go!Motion USB Logger
  • registerPenListener(functionName), unregisterPenListener(functionName) to handle pen tool usage
  • drawToImage(label,x[],y[]), clearImage(label) to draw
  • String evalGeoGebraCAS(String casCommand)
  • String evalGeoGebraCAS(String casCommand, boolean printDebugInfo)
  • void setPenColor(int red, int green, int blue); values 0 - 255
  • void setPenSize(int size); sets pen size size in pixels
  • int getPenSize(); return pen size in pixels
  • String getPenColor(); returns pen color as RGB hex string (eg #AB1234)
