The above image shows you the Geogebra window. After opening Geogebra, you will see the application window as above. The user can define the graphics view in terms of the axes, the grid, scale of the axes, etc. The Move button - which allows objects to be moved is highlighted in blue.

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:

#Drawing lines: The menu for lines and segments also allows multiple constructions - segments,lines, rays and vectors

#Drawing multiple lines: Multiple lines can also be drawn in Geogebra. Parallel lines, perpendicular lines, angle bisectors and perpendicular bisectors can be drawn.
