(DOS only)
This option applies to all loci constructed in the drawing.
The Locus tool performs a linear interpolation of the loci calculated.
Therefore, the more objects in the locus, the smoother it will appear. You
can change this number in this dialog box for the default setting or for a
specific locus by selecting the locus, and then changing the values in this
dialog. You can also change the number of objects in the locus by selecting
the locus, and then pressing + or
decrease the number of objects.
Selecting the Link points option connects adjacent points with a solid line.
Selecting the Envelope option draws only the envelope of a line as the locus
rather than the locus of the line.
The default coordinate system can be set up for Cartesian or polar
coordinates.
Select the precision of the units displayed. Cabri Geometry II always uses
the maximum precision of the Macintosh when measuring objects. You
can display additional precision by using Numerical Edit in the Display
toolbox.
Select the units you want when measuring objects. The default unit for
length also specifies the unit for area.
Select the equation formats you desire from the option listed for lines,
circles, and conics. Some formats for conics may not be possible for all
conics that can be constructed.
This DOS-version option doubles the size of the text font for readability
(e.g., for presentations).
