Tools

Tools enable you to produce new objects using your pointing device. All of them have their commands equivalents which are suitable for more complicated constructions.

Construction tools or modes can be activated by clicking on the buttons of the Toolbar. You can click on the small arrow in the lower right corner of an icon to open a Toolbox with similar other tools. Other way of selecting tools is using the Tools Menu.

By default, the tools are ordered in twelve toolboxes:

• Movement Tools
• Point Tools
• Line Tools
• Special Line Tools
• Polygon Tools
• Circle and Arc Tools
• Conic Section Tools
• Measurement Tools
• Transformation Tools
• Special Object Tools
• Action Object Tools
• General Tools
• Custom Tools

You can reorder these toolboxes and save the setting in the GeoGebra Worksheet (*.ggb). See Customizing the Toolbar for details.

Note: With most construction tools you can easily create new points by clicking on empty spaces on the drawing pad.

In CAS View and Spreadsheet View you can use CAS Specific Tools and Spreadsheet Tools respectively.
