Parallel
Tap on a point (P) and press
E
. Tap on a line (L) and
press
E
. A new line is draw parallel to L and passing
through P.
Perpendicular
Tap on a point (P) and press
E
. Tap on a line (L) and
press
E
. A new line is draw perpendicular to L and
passing through P.
Tangent
Tap on a curve (C) and press
E
. Tap on a point (P) and
press
E
. If the point (P) is on the curve (C), then a single
tangent is drawn. If the point (P) is not on the curve (C), then
zero or more tangents may be drawn.
Median
Tap on a point (A) and press
E
. Tap on a segment and
press
E
. A line is drawn through the point (A) and the
midpoint of the segment.
Altitude
Tap on a point (A) and press
E
. Tap on a segment and
press
E
. A line is drawn through the point (A)
perpendicular to the segment (or its extension).
Polygon
The Polygon menu provides tools for drawing various

E
after each tap.
Hexagon
Produces a regular hexagon (that is, one with sides of equal
length and angles of equal measure). Tap on a point and
press
E
. Tap on a second point to define the length of
one side of the regular hexagon and press
E
. The other
