sketchometry 1.1.8
Device: iOS Universal
Category: Education
Price: Free, Version: 1.1.7 -> 1.1.8 (iTunes)
Description:sketchometry is an interactive construction and exploration tool for plane Euclidean geometry. Points, circles and lines can be sketched on the screen with fingers or stylus. sketchometry identifies these gestures and generates an exact figure. These constructions can be explored in a very natural way by dragging, rotating and manipulating the geometric objects.
The constructions are saved locally or in the cloud. Embedding in interactive eBooks or HTML export is also possible.
sketchometry is free to use and is developed at the University of Bayreuth, Chair of Mathematics and Mathematics Education, D-95440 Bayreuth, Germany.
What's New
The most notable new features in version 1.1.8 are:
* Support of shortened math syntax for plots and texts. That means, a term of the form 3x (instead of 3*x) is accepted.
* Beginning support for vectors: a vector can be constructed by drawing an arrow without touching existing points.
* Beginning support for RTL languages (not yet working).
Release 1.1.8 fixes some annoying bugs:
* sketchometry crashed when a largely zoomed construction was reopened ruler of length zero resulted in a crash
* it was not possible to use ‘ and “ are in texts
