Geometry constructions in Graph Lab
Graph Lab’s geometry mode places points, lines, and circles on a shared canvas—open the construction demo, then drag points to explore relationships.

The problem
Geometry homework needs compass-and-straightedge style sketches. Dedicated geometry apps add another login; a grapher with a geometry mode keeps everything in one tab.
How geometry mode works
Switch Graph Lab to geometry workspace, place points, connect lines, and add circles through existing points. Drag free points to watch dependent objects update. Open the geometry construction demo.
When Desmos Geometry is better
Desmos Geometry and Classroom activities remain stronger for sequenced lessons and teacher dashboards. Use Graph Lab for private drafts and UtilBloom-adjacent workflows.
FAQ
Can I mix geometry with y = f(x) plots?
Prefer dedicated geometry mode for constructions; use graph mode for function plots, then screenshot both if the assignment needs both views.
Are constructions shareable?
Yes via URL hash, subject to the same local-first Graph Lab rules as function docs.
Is this Euclidean construction complete?
It covers common point/line/circle workflows—not every classical construction theorem toolkit.
Mobile support?
Geometry editing is easiest on desktop; see Graph Lab’s device gate on small screens.
