Geometry board guide
A segment:
- First choose a tool, then tap the two ends.
- A tap on a point picks it; a tap on a side puts a new point on it.
- The new point can be dragged with the arrow tool – along the side, and the segment moves with it.
A parallel:
- Pick a point and a line, in either order.
- The parallel segment goes through the point; each of its ends drags along the parallel line.
A perpendicular from a point to a side is the altitude:
- The point where it meets the side gets a letter of its own.
- The right-angle mark comes by itself.
Equal sides:
- A tap between two points on a side marks only that part.
- Each tap more adds a tick; the fourth takes them away.
An angle mark:
- Tap inside the angle, near its vertex.
- Equal angles get the same letter (the label tool), or the same number of ticks on the arc (the equal-sides tool).
When several lines leave a vertex, one tap is inside several angles:
- A list of them opens, from the smallest up.
- Each angle lights up on the board while you point at it.
A label – on a side, an angle or a point you drew:
- Its box has keys for Greek letters, degrees and signs.
- Delete takes only what you drew, and what is built on it.
- Undo brings back what was deleted.
- Zooming changes only the view.
- The last button brings back the whole figure.
- On a touch screen, zoom with two fingers.
