Geometry Settings

In the Geometry Tool you can customize the settings to turn on the grid and axes, enlarge the graph, toggle between degrees (the default) and radians, and more. Click Geometry Settings to access any of these options.

You can toggle on the Grid and Axes.

When you toggle on Grid, you can also check Minor Gridlines.

When you toggle on Axes, the tool will display the \(x\)- and \(y\)-axes as well as axis numbers. Within this section, you can also check Axis Numbers and Arrows.

To disable zooming and panning the graph paper, check Lock Viewport.

You have the option to hide geometry objects. First, select the intended object. Then, press Hide from the toolbar.

The Settings menu displays the number of hidden objects and allows you to reveal all of them at once.

The Geometry Tool includes settings that enlarge the display, turn on reverse contrast, and enable use with Braille.
