00:01 Welcome to this tutorial on Introduction to GeoGebra.
00:05 In this tutorial, we will learn, About GeoGebra interface and geometric tools
00:12 To draw parallel and perpendicular lines
00:16 To change object properties of a line

About properties of Graphics view.

00:22 Here I am using, Ubuntu Linux OS, version 14.04
00:28 GeoGebra version 5.0.438.0-d
00:33 To follow this tutorial, learner should be familiar with basic Mathematics.
00:40 To open GeoGebra applicaton in Ubuntu Linux OS, click on Dash Home.
00:46 In the search bar type geogebra.

GeoGebra icon appears.

00:52 Double-click on the icon to open the GeoGebra application.
00:57 Let us open GeoGebra application in Windows 10 OS.
01:04 In Search the web and Windows box, type geogebra.
01:09 GeoGebra appears in the list.
01:12 Click on it to open the GeoGebra application.
01:17 This is the GeoGebra interface.
01:20 It has a standard menu bar with menu items,

File, Edit, View, Options, Tools, Window and Help.

01:37 Below the menu bar, is a tool bar with various geometric tools.
01:43 On the right side of the tool bar, we have Undo, Redo, Help and Preferences options.
01:53 Below tool bar we have Algebra view and Graphics view.
01:58 In GeoGebra, geometry and algebra work side by side.
02:03 Graphics view is used to create geometric figures using tools on the toolbar.
02:09 Algebra view displays the corresponding algebraic expressions of the drawn figures.
02:15 Using View menu, we can open or close any view based on our requirement.
02:25 At the bottom of the window, we have an input bar.
02:29 We can directly enter algebraic commands and functions using the input bar.
02:36 By default grid and axes options are enabled on the Graphics view.
02:42 You can disable the axes or grid using the context menu.
02:47 Right click on Graphics view.

The Graphics menu opens.

02:53 In this menu, we have options to check and uncheck Axes and Grid.
03:00 Let me show you another method to enable or disable the axes and grid.
03:05 Notice a small arrow triangle next to Graphics, named as Toggle Style Bar.
03:12 Click on the arrow triangle to open the drop-down menu.
03:16 Here you will see options to check and uncheck axes and grid.
03:22 Next we will learn about the tool bar in detail.
03:26 Let us click on Move Graphics View tool at the right end of the toolbar.
03:31 Notice that, a dark blue border appears around the tool.

This indicates that the tool is selected.

03:38 Hover the cursor on the tool.

Its name and function appears in the tool tip box.

03:45 Using this selected tool, we can move the Graphics view.

Click and drag the Graphics view as required.

03:53 Each tool has a small black triangle at its corner.
03:58 When the cursor is placed on the triangle, it turns red.
04:03 Let us click on Move tool on the tool bar.

A drop-down list of related tools appear.

04:10 Let us draw points in the Graphics view.
04:13 Click on Point tool and then click on the Graphics view

Point A is drawn.

04:20 Again click to draw another point B.
04:24 Note that the corresponding coordinates of the points appear in the Algebra view.
04:29 Let us learn to draw a line. Click on the triangle at the corner of Line tool.
04:36 Here you can see a list of Line tools to draw various types of lines.
04:42 Using Line tool, we will draw a line through points A and B.
04:47 Click on Line tool and click on points A and B.
04:53 Line f passes through A and B.
04:57 Let us delete all the objects on the Graphics view.
05:01 Press Ctrl+A to select all the objects.

Press Delete key on the keyboard.

05:08 Let us redraw the line AB.

Click on Line tool and click on the Graphics view.

05:17 Click again at a different place to draw the line AB.
05:22 Next I will draw a line perpendicular to line AB.
05:27 To do that, click on the Perpendicular Line tool.
05:31 Click above line AB to draw point C, then click on line AB.
05:38 Line g passing through C is perpendicular to line AB .
05:43 Let us draw a line parallel to line AB.
05:47 Click on Parallel Line tool.
05:50 Click below AB to draw point D, then click on line AB.
05:57 A line h, parallel to AB and passing through point D, is drawn.
06:02 Now we will mark intersection points for the two lines.
06:06 In the Point tool drop-down, select Intersect tool.
06:10 Click on the intersection point of the lines f and g.
06:15 Then click on the intersection point of the lines g and h.
06:20 Now we will make our drawing a bit interactive.
06:24 Click on Move tool.
06:27 Click on point A and drag.
06:30 Notice that points E and F and all lines move along with point A.
06:36 Similarly we will move points B and D.
06:40 Points E , F and the lines move along with point B.
06:45 Only point F and line h move along with point D.
06:50 Points A, B and D are independent objects.
06:56 Now I will try to move points E or F.

We do not see any movement.

07:03 This indicates that, points E or F are dependent objects.
07:09 Now let us change the properties of the lines.
07:13 Right click on line AB.

A context menu opens, with all the properties of the line.

07:21 Select Object Properties.

Preferences window opens.

07:27 Resize the Preferences window to see the changes on the Graphics view.
07:33 I will explain some basic properties in the Preferences window.
07:38 In the Name box, you can change the name to Line AB.
07:43 And the Caption as Original Line.
07:46 Click the Show Object check box, to show or unshow the line.
07:51 The Show Label check box has a drop down to choose.
07:55 I will choose Name & Value.

Notice that name and value appears below the line.

08:03 Next click on the Color tab.

Here we have a color box to colour the line.

08:10 Below the colour box there is Preview box to view the changed colour.
08:15 I will click on the green box.

The colour of Line AB has changed to green.

08:22 Next click on Style tab.
08:25 Here you can change, Line Thickness

Line Opacity and Line Style.

08:33 Close the Preferences window.
08:36 Observe the Line AB with changed object properties.
08:41 I will change the object properties of line h.
08:45 Right-click on line h, to select Object Properties.

Preferences window opens.

08:53 Here I will change the colour to pink and style to dashed line.
09:00 Close the Preferences window.
09:03 Now let us save the file.

Click on File menu and select Save.

09:10 Save dialog box opens.
09:13 I will select Documents folder on my machine.
09:17 You can select any folder of your choice on your machine.
09:22 Type the File name as Lines.

Then click on Save button at the bottom.

09:29 Our file is saved with .ggb extension.
09:34 Pause the tutorial and do this assignment.

Open a new GeoGebra window.

09:40 Draw a line segment AB using Segment tool


09:44 Draw a perpendicular bisector to segment AB.
09:48 Rename the lines and change the object properties.
09:52 Your completed assignment should look like this.
09:57 Let's now open a new window.
10:00 Click on File menu and select New Window.
10:05 Now, I will explain about Graphics window properties.

Here I will close the Algebra view.

10:13 Right click on the Graphics window.
10:16 The context menu opens with various options.
10:20 Choose Graphics option.
10:23 Preferences window opens.
10:26 In the Preferences window, we will see Basic, xAxis, yAxis and Grid tabs.
10:36 Resize the Preferences window and Graphics view and place them side by side.
10:43 We will change the basic properties of the Axes in the Basic tab.
10:48 Click on Bold check-box.

This makes the Axes bold.

10:54 Click on Color button.

Choose a color box appears.

11:00 You can choose any dark colour and click OK button.
