Functions and commands

405

Example:

parabola(GA,GB)

draws a parabola whose focus is

point A and whose directrix is line B

parallel

With a point and a line as arguments, draws the line through

the point that is parallel to the given line. With a point and a

plane as arguments, draws the plane through the point that is

parallel to the given plane. with a point and two lines as

arguments, draws the plane through the point that is parallel

to the plane made by the two given lines.

parallel(Pnt or Line,Line or Plane,[Line])

Example:

parallel(A, B)

draws the line through point A that is

parallel to line B

parallelepiped

Draws a parallelepiped with sides AB, AC, and AD. The faces

of the parallelepiped are parallelograms.

parallelepiped(Pnt(A),Pnt(B),Pnt(C),Pnt(D))

parallelogram

Draws the parallelogram ABCD such that

vector(AB)+vector(AD)=vector(AC).

parallelogram(Pnt(A)||Cplx,Pnt(B)||Cplx,Pnt(C
)||Cplx,[Var(D)])

Example:

parallelogram(0,6,9+5i)

draws a parallelogram

whose vertices are at (0, 0), (6, 0), (9, 5), and (3,5). The

coordinates of the last point are calculated automatically.

perimeterat

Displays the perimeter at point z0 of a circle or polygon. A

legend is provided.

perimeterat(Polygon,Pnt||Cplx(z0))

perimeteratraw

Displays the perimeter at point z0 of a circle or polygon.

perimeteratraw(Polygon,Pnt||Cplx(z0))
