Perspectives and Views

What are perspectives?

Depending on the mathematics you want to use GeoGebra Classic for, you can select one of the default Perspectives. Each Perspective displays those Views and other user interface components most relevant for the corresponding field of mathematics. GeoGebra Classic provides the following Perspectives for mathematical objects:
Toolbar Image GraphingToolbar Image GeometryToolbar Image Spreadsheet

Each Perspective offers its own Toolbar that contains a selection of Tools and range of Commands as well as Predefined Functions and Operators that allow you to create dynamic constructions with different representations of mathematical objects.
