What is the Style Bar

The Style Bar allows you to quickly and easily change a selection of basic properties of Views or objects. In order to open or close the Style Bar, either click on the little arrow next to the name of the corresponding View in GeoGebra Desktop, or click the Style Bar Button in the GeoGebra Web and Tablet Apps. Please note that there are still more properties you can change using the Properties Dialog.

Style Bar Options for Views

Each View has it’s own Style Bar options. Depending on the View you select, the Style Bar displays the options most useful to this View.

  • Show / Hide the Axes: You may show or hide the coordinate axes.
  • Show / Hide the Grid: You may show or hide the grid (GeoGebra Desktop) or select which type of grid should be shown (GeoGebra Web and Tablet Apps).
  • Go Back to Default View: If the view on the Graphics View was changed before, this button sets the origin of the coordinate axes back to its default position.
  • Change the Point Capturing Settings: You can choose between the settings Automatic, Snap to Grid, Fixed to Grid, and Off. For more information please see Point Capturing.
  • Open the Properties Dialog: Open the Properties Dialog for the Graphics View or a selected object (GeoGebra Web and Tablet Apps).
  • Display Views: You may display additional Views in the GeoGebra window (GeoGebra Web and Tablet Apps).

3D Graphics View Style Bar

The 3D Graphics View Style Bar provides buttons to

  • Show / Hide the Axes: You may show or hide the coordinate axes, as well as the x-y-plane.
  • Show / Hide the Grid: You may show or hide a grid in the x-y-plane.
  • Go Back to Default View: You may move the coordinate system back to the default view.
  • Change the Point Capturing: You can choose between the settings Automatic, Snap to Grid, Fixed to Grid, and Off. For more information please see Point Capturing.
  • Start / Stop rotating the View Automatically: You may rotate the 3D Graphics View automatically and can set the direction as well as the speed of the rotation.
  • Adjust the View Direction: You may choose between the view towards the xOy-plane, xOz-plane, yOz-plane, or rotate back to the default view.
  • Choose the Type of Projection: You may choose between a Parallel Projection, Perspective Projection, Projection for 3D Glasses, and Oblique Projection.
  • Open the Properties Dialog: Open the Properties Dialog for the 3D Graphics View or a selected object (GeoGebra Web and Tablet Apps).
  • Display Views: You may display additional Views in the GeoGebra window (GeoGebra Web and Tablet Apps).

Algebra View Style Bar

The Algebra View Style Bar provides buttons to

  • Show / Hide Auxiliary Objects: Toggling this button shows or hides Auxiliary Objects in the Algebra View.
  • Sort Objects by: You may organize the mathematical objects according to the following criteria:
    • Dependency: The mathematical objects are organized as Free Objects and Dependent Objects. If you create a new object without using any other existing objects, it is classified as a Free Object. If your newly created object was created by using other existing objects, it is classified as a Dependent Object.
    • Object Type: By default, the mathematical objects are organized by Object Types (e.g. Angles, Lines, Points), which are displayed in alphabetical order.
    • Layer: The mathematical objects are organized according to the layer they are drawn on. For more information see Layers.
    • Construction Order: The mathematical objects are organized by construction order.

CAS View Style Bar
