Using Geometry Trace
The Geometry Trace tool enables you to leave a visible trail of an
object when it is moved on the work area. The movement can be done
manually or by using the Animation tool.
Note: The trace trail cannot be selected or manipulated.
To use Geometry Trace:
1. Create an object or function.
2. From the Trace menu, select the Geometry Trace tool .
3. Click the object or function. Either:
• manually grab and move the object, or
• select a point and animate it.
If you use animation, the point must be selected for geometry
trace as well as animation.
The amount of trace track displayed on the work area depends upon the
amount of movement.
• If the object moves very little, then the entire track remains
displayed until you erase it.
• If the object moves a lot, the track can obscure a significant
portion of the work area. In this case, the older portions of the
Trace point on a sine graph. Notice
the M (maximum) on the display.
