Graphics View
Graphics View User Interface
The Graphics View always
displays the graphical representation of objects created in GeoGebra. In addition, the Graphics View Toolbar is
displayed at the top of the GeoGebra window, with the
Undo / Redo buttons in the top right corner. The
Graphics View is part of almost all
Perspectives.

Customizing the
Graphics View
The Graphics View may
include various types of grids and axes. For more information see Customizing
the Graphics View. You may also change the layout of GeoGebra’s
user interface according to your needs.
Displaying a Second
Graphics View
A second Graphics View
may be opened using the
View
Menu. If two
Graphics
Views are opened, one of them is always active (either it’s being worked with, or it is the last View that has been
worked with). All visible objects created by Commands appear in the active
Graphics View.

Creating Mathematical Objects
Constructions using Tools
Using the construction Tools available in the Graphics View
Toolbar you can create geometric constructions in the Graphics View. Select any construction tool from the Graphics View
Toolbar and read the provided tooltip, in order to find out how to use the selected
Tool.
Any object you create in the |
Select the
Circle with Center through Point Tool and click twice in the
Graphics View. The first
click creates the center point while the second click creates a circle and a point on the circle.
Graphics View Toolbar
The Graphics View Toolbar provides a wide range of Tools that
allow you to create the graphical representations of objects directly in the
Graphics View. Every
icon in the Toolbar represents a Toolbox that contains a selection of related
construction Tools. In order to open a Toolbox, you need to click on the corresponding default
Tool shown in the Graphics View Toolbar (GeoGebra Web and Tablet Apps) or on the small arrow in the lower right
corner of the Toolbar icon (GeoGebra Desktop).
The Tools of the Graphics View Toolbar are organized by the nature of resulting objects or the functionality of the
Tools. You will find Tools that create different types of points in the Points Toolbox
(default icon |
Modifying Mathematical Objects
The
Move Tool
After activating the Move Tool
you are able to move objects in the
Graphics View by dragging them with the mouse or with a touch pad.
At the same time, their algebraic representations are dynamically updated in the

Copy & Paste
Via Keybord Shortcut Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V (Mac OS:[.kcode]Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V) you can Copy and Paste selected objects (except if they depend on the coordinate axes) into either the same or into another window.
Copy and Paste will copy every ancestor of the selected objects but makes the non-selected objects invisible. |
If you copy objects depending on sliders into a new window, it will copy the slider (invisible) into the window, too.
The pasted object is fixed when you click on the Graphics View. If the copied object depends on at least one point then it can snap
onto existing points when pasted (but only the point following the mouse pointer will do this).
