Geometry

Example:

similarity(0, 3, angle(0,1,i),point(2,0))

dilates the point at (2,0) by a scale factor of 3 (a point at
(6,0)), then rotates the result 90° counterclockwise to create a
point at (0, 6).

translation

Translates a geometric object along a given vector. The vector

is given as the difference of two points (head-tail).

translation(vector, object)

Examples:

translation(0-i, GA) translates object A down one

unit.

translation(GB-GA, GC) translates object C along the

vector AB.

Measure Plot

angleat

Used in Symbolic view. Given the three points of an angle and

a fourth point as a location, displays the measure of the angle

defined by the first three points. The measure is displayed,

with a label, at the location in the Plot view given by the fourth

point. The first point is the vertex of the angle.

angleat(point1, point2, point3, point4)

Example:
In degree mode, angleat(point(0, 0), point(2√3,
0), point(2√3, 3), point(-6, 6)) displays

“appoint(0,0)=30.0” at point (–6,6)

angleatraw

Works the same as angleat, but without the label.

areaat

Used in Symbolic view. Displays the algebraic area of a

polygon or circle. The measure is displayed, with a label, at

the given point in Plot view.

areaat(polygon, point) or areaat(circle,
point)
