The PyGgb interface

The webapp interface is as follows:

and is made of five parts:

Command bar

Across the top of the interface is the command bar. It contains the program control buttons, the File menu, the name of the program you are currently working with, and the About button.

Program control buttons

To run your Python program, click the Run button. You can stop your program altogether with the Stop button. While your program is running, you can use the Pause button to pause it, after which you can resume it with Run or abandon its execution with Stop.

See Pausing, resuming, and stopping your program for more details on exactly when you can pause a Python program.

Python editor

The left panel. Or, if an error has occurred, the top-left panel.

Edit your Python program here.

GeoGebra pane

The top-right panel.

circle-1 When you press the Run button, your Python program will run, and any GeoGebra objects it creates will be shown here.

The GeoGebra pane has the standard GeoGebra interactivity — you can pan and zoom, and move “free” objects.

Console output pane

The bottom-right panel.

circle-2 If your Python program prints anything, the output will appear here.

Error pane

The bottom-left panel. Only exists if your program has encountered an error.

circle-3 If your Python program contains an error, details will be shown here. If there are no errors, the error pane is not shown, and the Python editor takes up the entire left column of the interface.
