Documents

A document in Sketchpad contains one or more sketches—that is, one or more collections of related mathematical objects. To create these objects, you’ll use Sketchpad’s Toolbox and menus, described later in this manual.

A document appears on your screen in a window, and can be saved to your computer’s hard drive. Once saved, the document can later be reopened from the hard drive.

When a document contains more than a single sketch, each individual sketch is called a page. A document can also contain any number of custom tools, which extend the fundamental Point, Compass, and Straightedge tools in the Toolbox.

The document window displays one page at a time.

Use Document Options in the File menu to manage the pages and tools contained in a Sketchpad document.
