Graphics View.
Furthermore, the Graphics View Toolbar is displayed at the top of the GeoGebra window. Please note that in GeoGebra
5.0 Desktop the Input Bar is displayed as well at the bottom of the GeoGebra window while in

Algebra View (see
Input Bar and Input Field).
Geometry Perspective
The Geometry Perspective displays the Graphics View without the coordinate axes, as well as the Graphics
View Toolbar.

Input Bar and Input Field).
Probability Perspective
The Probability Perspective shows the Probability
Calculator, which allows you to easily calculate and graph probability distributions.
Customized Perspectives
GeoGebra allows you to customize its user interface according to the mathematical topic you want to work with. You can
add additional Views or other user interface components (e.g. Input Bar, second
Graphics View) to the
standard Perspectives by using the
View Menu or the
corresponding
Views Button in the
Style Bar (GeoGebra Web and Tablet Apps). Furthermore, you can change the position of some of
these elements using the Layout option in the
Settings Dialog in GeoGebra Desktop or the
Drag View Button in the Web App.
