Graph An object in CalcMe is plotted in Graph; but Graph is much more than a simpler viewer, we can build segments, vectors, lines, and conic sections. Moreover, the handwritten geometry recognition allows us to draw by hand, as we do on paper, and it will translate our drawings to mathematical objects. Points We can draw points as we would do on a sheet. Select the Point tool, move the mouse to the desired position and left-click. A new point will be created where we place the mouse cursor. Moreover, if there is already a graph and the mouse is close to remarkable positions, the new point will be created in such position. The same happens when the mouse is close to the axis. We can think it as a magnet to important points. Lines, segments, rays, vectors and polylines Given two points, we can construct either a line, a segment, a ray or a vector. More than two points define a polyline or a polygon. Arcs and conics Given three points, we can draw an arc. Select the Arc tool, create three different points and an arc passing through such three points will appear. Circumferences can be drawn in two different ways. Either we choose the center and its radius, or we choose three points so that a circumference passing through them is constructed. To write a parabola, we choose its directrix, and then we move the mouse to place the focus. Ellipses are constructed given their focus and its eccentricity. For hyperbolas a similar manner is used: we choose the focus and then the eccentricity. In a more general approach, we can locate five points, and a conic passing through them will be constructed. The conic will change as we move the fifth point. Handwritten geometry recognition Apart from building an object following a specific format, we can directly draw by hand, as we would do on a paper, over the graphing area and our drawing will be converted to a mathematical object. Currently, our drawings will be converted to one of the following objects: Points Segments Polysegments Polygons Ellipse arcs Ellipses Circle arcs Circles Parabolas Sinusoids Points Just click on the grid, and a point will be built or draw a small circle. If we are close to the axis, the point is snapped to it. Segments Left-click with the mouse and drag through the screen. Release the button, and a segment will be created. Polysegments and polygons Draw concatenated segments so a polysegment or a polygon (if you close it) is built. Interaction between objects If we draw a segment and then draw a perpendicular segment to the first one, it will create an orthogonal line perpendicular to the former segment. If we move the original segment, the line automatically moves, so it keeps being orthogonal. Similarly, if we draw a segment and then draw a parallel segment to the first one, a parallel line will be created. If we move the original segment, the line automatically moves, so it keeps being parallel. Arcs Draw a portion of an ellipse or circumference and an arc will be constructed. Circles and ellipses Draw a circle or an ellipse as you would do in longhand. Parabolas Similarly, draw a parabola (vertical or sideway) and it will converted to a graph object. Sinusoidal We can also draw sinusoidal functions. Table of Contents Points Lines, segments, rays, vectors and polylines Arcs and conics Handwritten geometry recognition
