8-6 Using the Geometry Application with Other Applications

You can display the Geometry application from within the eActivity or Main application. This is a great feature that allows you the visualize the relationship between Algebra and Geometry. You can, for example, drag a figure from the Geometry window to the eActivity window to see its corresponding mathematical expression. This section describes how to do this and other useful things.

Drag and Drop

When you open Geometry within another application, you can drag and drop information between the two application windows.

Example 1: To drag a circle from the Geometry window to the eActivity window

u ClassPad Operation
