Path Objects

There are certain geometric objects in Sketchpad on which you can construct and animate points. These objects are collectively referred to as path objects. Path objects include:

· straight objects (segments, rays, lines, and axes)

· circles and arcs

· polygons and other interiors

For polygons and other interiors, the perimeter of the interior forms that interior’s path.

· point loci and function plots

You can use the Point On Object command to construct a point on any path object.
