Spreadsheet Perspective
The
Spreadsheet Perspective includes the
Spreadsheet View and the
Graphics View. By default, the
coordinate axes are shown in the
Graphics View.
Note: Depending on which of these Views is activated, either the Graphics View Toolbar or the Spreadsheet View Toolbar are shown and the
Undo / Redo buttons are in the top right corner.







The Spreadsheet View
The
Spreadsheet View is an interactive spreadsheet connected with some of the other Views of GeoGebra (e.g. the
Graphics View). Every cell has a specific name, that allows you to directly address each one.
Example: The first cell in column A is named A1.
Note: These cell names can be used in expressions and commands to address the content of the corresponding cell.
In the
Spreadsheet cells you can enter not only numbers, but all types of general and geometrical objects that are supported by GeoGebra (e. g., coordinates of points, functions, commands).
Note: If you copy content from one cell to another, by default all references are changed accordingly to the target position.
