The Geogebra tool bar is very versatile - the construction follows the processes that we would normally follow in paper and pen construction. Some six important categories in the tool bar are discussed below:

#Moving objects:Geogebra allows you to move object constructed freely by dragging the object. You can also select an object and move it by rotating aroung a point.

#Plotting points: There are different ways of plotting points on the Geogebra graphics pad. You can plot a point anywhere on the graphics view - this is a free point. You can also plot on an object or as an intersection of two objects; in both the cases the point is a dependent object.
