Geometry

is_rectangle

Tests whether or not a set of four points are vertices of a

rectangle. Returns 0 if they are not, 1 if they are, and 2 if they

are vertices of a square.

is_rectangle(point1, point2, point3, point4)

Examples:

is_rectangle(point(0,0), point(4,2),
point(2,6), point(-2,4)) returns 2.
With a set of only three points as argument, tests whether or

not they are vertices of a right triangle. Returns 0 if they are

not. If they are, returns the number order of the common point

of the two perpendicular sides (1, 2, or 3).

is_rectangle(point(0,0), point(4,2),
point(2,6)) returns 2.

is_square

Tests whether or not a set of four points are vertices of a

square. Returns 1 if they are and 0 otherwise.

is_square(point1, point2, point3, point4)

Example:

is_square(point(0,0), point(4,2),
point(2,6), point(-2,4)) returns 1.

Other Geometry functions

The following functions are not available from a menu in the
Geometry app, but are available from the Catlg menu.

convexhull

Returns a vector containing the points that serve as the convex

hull for a given set of points.

convexhull(point1, point2, …, pointn)

harmonic_conjugate

Returns the harmonic conjugate of 3 points. Specifically,

returns the harmonic conjugate of point3 with respect to

point1 and point2. Also accepts three parallel or concurrent
