Euclidraw Files

Available Pages:

• Inversions
• Mechanical Linkages
• Session notes given at ATM 2006, Ormskirk, UK "Straight Lines without Rulers". A Powerpoint presentation file actually links to all of the files that are in the Inversions and Mechanical Linkages links in a logical sequence whilst giving some background theory when required.

Notes:
(1). These files were created or modified on a Screen Size of 1600 X 1200. This does make a big difference! Fortunately, unlike one of the pitfalls of SketchPad in which there is no simple ZOOM view function, all that you need to do in Euclidraw is to press either the F11 or F12 buttons to shrink or expand the worksheet respectively.

Euclidraw Software:

I am a fairly recent convert to EucliDraw®, which is a program that (amongst other things) draws dynamic figures of plane Euclidean Geometry. I am now much more at ease with it than with Geometer's Sketchpad and Cabri and find it so much more "customisable". I would say that the learning curve with Euclidraw is a little steeper than with some of its competitors but once the basics have been mastered you can then make full use of the very many "pre-set" geometrical tools that Euclidraw offers. It is written by an academic Mathematician, Prof. Paris Pamfilos, with many research interests in Euclidean and Differential Geometry and this explains the multitude of "pre-set" tools that speed up all manner of constructions. In addition there are very many example files and tutorials included and an excellent help manual.
