At the top of each column, you can choose the function to display in the column. Hiding the table ` Click in the Graphs & Geometry window to display its menu, and then select Hide Table on the View menu. Using the Plane Geometry View The plane geometry view includes a scale by default, but includes no axes or entry line on the work area. ` Change to Plane Geometry View from the View menu by selecting Plane Geometry View. The display refreshes to clear the axes and entry line and display a default scale. Any graphs or drawings created in Graphing View are not displayed on the plane geometry area. Note: Any geometric constructions created while in the Plane Geometry View are retained and displayed along with any previously created graphs. Creating an object in Plane Geometry View You can choose Geometry on an empty page of a document to work in Plane Geometry View. The shapes, points, and lines you create while in this view are geometric objects. Geometric objects can have an assigned scale, such as centimeters, instead of u for units (as used with Graphing View). When working in modeling mode (that is, in Plane Geometry View with an analytic window), you can move a geometric object into the graphing work area. The object remains a geometric object, and is not associated with the axes. For example, you can move a vertex of a triangle, but since the object is not tied to a coordinate plane, no coordinates display for the vertex. The examples below show a modeling work area and the two types of objects: A is an analytic object while B is a geometric object. 494 Graphs & Geometry
