Geometry Application Overview

8-1 Geometry Application Overview

The Geometry application provides you with the following capabilities.

•The [Draw] menu provides commands for drawing points, lines, polygons, regular polygons, circles, ellipses, and other geometric figures. You can also draw functions. Once drawn, a figure can be moved or edited as required. See “Using the Draw Menu” on page 8-2-1 for more information about this menu.

•The [Draw] menu also includes a [Construct] submenu (page 8-2-12) and a [Special Shape] submenu (page 8-2-9). You can use items in the [Construct] submenu to add a midpoint, draw a perpendicular bisector from a given point, create other geometric constructions and even test geometric theorems. The [Special Shape] submenu allows you to draw special figures, such as parallelograms, rectangles, kites and many others.
