Geometry Settings

By default, the Geometry Tool starts with a blank canvas. In the Settings Menu, you can turn on the grid and axes, enlarge the graph, change between degrees (the default) and radians, and more.

In the Settings Menu, there are toggles to turn on both the Grid and the Axes. When the Grid is enabled, there’s a checkbox for displaying Minor Gridlines. Turning on the Axes will show the x and y axes as well as axis numbers. Within this section, you will see two checkboxes for Axis Numbers and Arrows. When axes are enabled, the point label options in the Geometry Toolbar allow you to choose between naming a point or displaying its coordinates.

To disable zooming and panning the graph paper, click on the Graph Settings wrench icon and check the Lock Viewport option near the bottom of the drop-down menu.

In the Geometry Tool, you have the option to hide geometry objects. When an object is selected, press the Hide button on the Geometry Toolbar. The Settings Menu displays the number of hidden objects and allows you to reveal all of them at once.

In the settings, you can enlarge the graph and expression list by pressing the larger A. Reverse Contrast inverts the colors of the Geometry Tool. Lastly, in the settings menu you can enable Braille Mode, which supports Nemeth and UEB. For more information about these accessibility features and others, visit desmos.com/accessibility.
