Basic Examples  (2)

Display an interactive scene that constructs, in steps, a square equal in area to a given polygon:

Label the steps in a scene constructing an equilateral triangle from a given line segment:

Scope  (1)

Display an interactive scene that constructs, in steps, the bisector of a given angle:

Add textual descriptions to each step:

Properties & Relations  (2)

If there is a GeometricStep, consecutive hypotheses are grouped into geometric steps:

The presence of a GeometricStep adds a menu for selecting stages of a GeometricScene:

Possible Issues  (1)

If constraints are added to objects after the step in which those objects are introduced, the scene may be unsatisfiable:

Adding the constraints to the same step in which the objects are introduced may allow the scene to be satisfiable:
