four vertices are named D, E, G, and H. Moreover, each of

 

the six segments is also given a name: I, J, K, L, M, and N.

 

These names are not displayed in Plot view, but you can see

 

them if you go to Symbolic view (see “Symbolic view in detail”

 

on page 148).

 

Naming objects and parts of objects enables you to refer to

 

them in calculations. This is explained in “Numeric view in

 

detail” on page 150.

 

You can rename an object. See “Symbolic Setup view” on

 

page 150.

1. Select the object whose label (that is, caption) you want

 

 

to hide.

 

2.

Press Z.

 

3.

Select Toggle Caption.

 

4.

Moving objects

Points To move a point press E. A list of all the points

 

appears. Select the one you want to move, then tap on the

 

new location for it, and press E.

You can also select a point by tapping on it.

In addition to tapping a new location for a selected point, you can press the arrow keys to move the point to a new location, or use a finger to drag the point to a new location.

A point can also be selected directly by tapping on it. (If the bottom-right of the screen shows the name of the point, you have accurately tapped the point; otherwise the pointer coordinates are shown, indicating that the point is not selected.)

Composite objects To move a multi-point object, see “Translation” on page 161.
