・This operation can be executed while any two of the following items (two of the same type, or one each of different types) are selected: line segment, straight line, ray, vector, one side of a polygon, circle, arc, ellipse, hyperbolic curve, or parabola.
Angle Bisector
1. Draw a triangle.
2. Select two sides.
3. Click [Angle Bisector].
Note
・This operation can be executed while any two of the following items (two of the same type, or one each of different types) are selected: line segment, straight line, ray, vector, or one side of a polygon.
Parallel
1. Draw a line segment and plot a point.
2. Select the line segment and point.
3. Click [Parallel].
Note
・Constructing parallel lines will cause arrow symbols (>) to appear on the two lines to indicate that they are parallel with each other.
・This operation can be executed while any combination of the objects below is selected.
- A single line segment and a single point, a single line and a single point, a single ray and a single point, a single vector and a single point
- One side of a polygon and a single point
- A pair of lines (straight line, ray, vector, one side of a polygon, etc.)
Tangent to Curve
1. Draw a circle.
2. Select the circle.
3. Click [Tangent to Curve].
・Starting with a point on the curve, this function constructs a straight line that passes through that point.
・The position of the straight line can be changed by dragging the point.
Note
・This operation can be executed while a circle, ellipse, or function graph is selected.
Regular n-polygon
1. Draw a line segment.
2. Select the line segment.
3. Click [Regular n-polygon].
4. Input the number of angles in the regular polygon you want to create in the Regular n-polygon Sticky Note.
・This will construct a regular polygon with the selected line segment as one side.
Reflection
1. Draw the figure that will be the basis of the reflection symmetry mapping and the line segment that will be the line of symmetry.
2. Select the figure that is the basis of the reflection symmetry mapping.
3. Click [Reflection].
4. Select the line segment to use as axis of symmetry.
・This creates a reflection symmetry mapping of the original figure with the selected line segments as the axis of symmetry.
Note
・You can specify a line segment, line, ray, or one side of a polygon as an axis of symmetry.
Rotation
1. Draw a figure that will be the basis of the rotation mapping and plot a point as the rotation center.
2. Select the figure that will be the basis of the rotation mapping.
3. Click [Rotation].
4. Select the rotation center point.
5. Input the angle of rotation (counterclockwise) as a degree value.
・This will create a figure that is the rotated version of the original figure.
Note
・Inputting a variable for the rotation angle will display a slider. You can use the slider to view rotation of the figure as the variable value changes.
Translation (Coordinates)
1. Draw the figure that will be the basis of the translation mapping.
2. Select the figure.
3. Click [Translation (Coordinates)].
4. Input a value to specify the amount of movement.
・This will create a mapping that is the translated version of the original figure.
Note
・Inputting a variable for the amount of movement will display a slider. You can use the slider to view translation of the figure as the variable value changes.
Translation (Vector)
1. Draw the figure that will be the basis of the translation mapping.
2. Draw a vector for specification of parallel translation and direction.
3. Select the figure you drew in step 1.
4. Click [Translation (Vector)].
5. This displays the message "Select vector." Click the vector that you draw in step 2.
  • This will create a mapping that is the translated version of the original figure.
Dilation
1. Draw a figure to be dilated.
2. Plot a point as the dilation center.
3. Select the figure to be dilated.
4. Click [Dilation].
5. Select the dilation center point.
6. Input the dilation factor.
  • This will draw a resized version of the original object.

Note
  • Inputting a variable for the dilation factor will display a slider. You can use the slider to view dilation of the figure as the variable value changes.
Compass
1. Draw a line segment.
2. Select the line segment.
3. Click [Compass].
・This will construct a circle whose radius is the length of the selected line segment.
Note
・You can execute construction of a circle while one line segment or two points are selected.
・Changing the length of a line segment will change the size of the circle linked with it.
