Using the Geometry Application with Other Applications

When the Geometry application cannot determine what is dropped into it, the dropped data is displayed as text.

Copy and Paste

In addition to drag and drop, you can also copy figures or columns from an animation table, and paste them into another application.

Dynamically Linked Data

Another nice feature of the ClassPad is the ability to create a dynamic link between a geometric figure and its equation in the eActivity window. When a geometric figure is dynamically linked to an equation, you will notice a link symbol ( ) in front of the equation in the eActivity window. Changing the graph in the Geometry window will automatically update the linked data in the eActivity window. Also, changing the data in the eActivity window will update the graph in the Geometry window. Note that this feature is available only within the eActivity application.

Example of dynamically linked data

For information on how to create a dynamic link between a geometric figure and its equation in the eActivity window, see “Inserting a Geometry Link Row” on page 10-3-17.
