Cabri II Plus is a geometry construction tool allowing users to produce figures in the same way as one would using a sheet of paper, pencil, rule, compass and eraser… bringing a whole new dimension to their constructions:
Constructions elements can be freely manipulated (dragged by the user)
Constructions are updated in real-time
Images can also be integrated into word processing documents or distributed via the Web (CabriJava)
With a display very similar to that of current office-type software, Cabri Geometry II Plus offers the user a structured, intuitive interface, including:
The Title Bar
Gives the filename for the diagram.
The Menu Bar
Gives the user access to the application's commands, corresponding to the usual software commands (File, Edit, Options, Window, Help, etc.)
The Tool Bar
A set of tools used in the creation and modification of a diagram (points, lines, curves, circles, midpoints, etc.)
Other features include:
Dynamic Geomertrical Diagrams
Computer-aided construction of geometrical diagrams brings a whole new dimension to the classical methods of pencil, paper, ruler and compass. Throughout the process the diagram can be freely manipulated, for instance one or several points can be moved, distances can be varied, a complete object can be moved, etc. Cabri follows your instructions and offers a direct, instantaneous, clear visualisation of all these movements or variations!
Powerful Equation and Display Tools
With Cabri Geometry it is possible to display loci of points or objects, loci of loci, and intersections with loci! Furthermore, using the 'equation' tool it is possible to obtain the equation of a locus for algebraic curves!
