This is a summary of the features of C.a.R.
Dynamical Geometry
- Simulation of school geometry in the plane with
lots of geometric objects like points, lines, rays, line segments, circles,
arcs, angles, polygons and conic sections.
- Dynamical geometry with immediate update of
constructions, when a basic point is moved. Automatic or manual tracks
of points and polar sets of lines.
- Powerful macros.
- Computations in expressions, angle or circle
sizes, functions and curves, including computation of integrals, differentials
and zeros.
- Construction language for constructions using a
command line or an external file.
- Elliptic and Hyperbolic geometries
realized with macros.
Presentation of Constructions
- Flexible ways to format objects, text sizes and stroke,
including transparency and background objects, partial or total hiding
of objects, configurable name display. The display of objects can be subject
to conditions.
- Latex display of formulas and formatted text
displays with Greek letters. Substitution of expressions by their values in
texts.
- Animation of constructions, or presentation of a
construction step by step.
The User Interface
- Intuitive user interface using the right
mouse button to move objects or open the dialog for the object properties.
- Context sensitive help, and additional HTML
documentation.
License, Export and technical Details
- Runs on all modern systems, where Java is
installed, as a local application, with Java Web Start, or as an applet in the
browser.
- Free and open source program, including
documentation and demos. Portable and open XML file format.
- Export of constructions for the Web using an
easy export utility with template pages. Various choices of applets and sets
of tools. Scripting.
- Saving constructions in various graphic formats (PNG,
EPS, SVG, PDF, FIG) with preview and scaling of line widths, point sizes, and
text sizes.
