Free, Dependent and Auxiliary Objects
There are two types of objects in GeoGebra: free and dependent. Some of them can be defined to be auxiliary.
Free Objects
Free Objects are objects whose position or value doesn’t depend on any other objects. They are created by direct input or e.g. Point Tool. They can be moved, unless they are fixed.
Auxiliary Objects
Auxiliary Objects are either objects which are defined to be auxiliary by user, or objects which were created by specific tools, e.g. Regular Polygon Tool. Spreadsheet cells are also considered to be auxiliary. They have their separate place in Algebra View.
