Editing Figures

I Viewing the Measurements of a Figure

The type of information that appears in the measurement box depends on the figure that is
currently selected on the display. If a line segment is selected, for example, the measurement
box shows the distance, slope, angle from the

x

-axis, and the equation for that line. You

can specify the type of information you want to view by tapping the down arrow button to the
left of the measurement box, and then tapping the appropriate icon on the icon palette that
appears.

The following table describes the information that appears when you tap each icon, and
explains when each icon is available for selection.
