Modifying a numerical value
Move the numerical value by dragging it anywhere in the
plane with the
Pointer
tool.
You can modify numerical values interactively when the
edit box is active. Using the arrow keys, place the
I
to the
right of the digit you want to change. Use the
up
-arrow key
to increase the digit by 1. Use the
down-
arrow key to
decrease the digit by 1.
You can change these values automatically with
animation. Using the
Animation
tool, select the number as
you would select any object. The digit increases or
decreases relative to the cursor position and to the
direction indicated by the
Animation
tool.
You can change the units of a numerical value or its
displayed precision. Using the
Numerical Edit
tool, select the
numerical value. Select the
U
(Macintosh) in the edit box
or press
CTRL+U
(Windows and DOS), and assign a unit to
any number or change to the desired units.
Cabri Geometry II performs unit conversions based on the
number's current unit assignment. Press the + key to
increase the precision displayed by 1 digit. Press the
−
key
to decrease the precision displayed by 1 digit.
Change the character attributes of a numerical value by
selecting it using the
Numerical Edit
tool. An edit box
appears for editing the number. You must shade the text
that you want to modify before making changes to its font,
size, style, or color. Shade the text by dragging the
I
across
it. Then select the appropriate option from the icons in the
edit box.
