This brings up the  which gives the opons
available for the opon displayed. To change the shading
select  then  or  which will open a
colour picker from which you can choose a colour.
Now move the cursor to point B and right click again (/b).
This gives you the contextual menu for the point, one opon
here is to  the point, which will prevent users from
grabbing and moving it. For example, there may be good
pedagogic reasons for only allowing point A to move in this
acvity. For the moment pin points B and C.
To unpin an object just right-click on the object again and
select .
Connue to move the cursor around the screen and see
the opons for changing the aributes of the parallel line
and also the area measurement. When you look at the
aributes for the area calculaon you will see the opon
of a padlock. Locking the measurement will x the current
value constraining movement of other points accordingly.
Locking some objects and unlocking others can have very interesng eects and if you have me you may care
to invesgate the following situaons.
