Introduction to FX Draw 3

2
Flyout Toolbars

• Any tool with a red triangle hides a flyout
  toolbar containing extra tools. Click and hold
  the left mouse button for gt 1 second.

3
GAD - Geometrically Aware Drawing

• FX Draw provides dynamic feedback that shows the
  geometric relationships in your drawing.

Make sure that GAD is turned on!
4
GAD Has A Memory!

• Any relationships that you have created with GAD
  are remembered. Move the base object and all
  relationships are maintained.

5
Figure Information

• If you select a figure (anything you have drawn)
  and then hover the mouse near that figure, FX
  Draw will display some information about that
  figure.

6
Annotations

• When FX Draw is displaying figure information,
  right click your mouse. You are given the
  opportunity to add an annotation.
• Annotations are dynamically updated as the figure
  changes.

7
Three Point Circles

• Many tools require that the object be defined by
  three points triangles, three point arcs, three
  point ellipses, three point circles. A good way
  to practice using these tools is to draw a
  circumcircle using the three point circle tool.

8
Using the Compass

• FX Draw 3 adds a Compass tool that works just
  like the normal, centre point / point on radius
  tool, but then remembers the radius so the second
  and subsequent circles have the same radius.
• Use the Compass tool
• to draw this daisy.

9
Marking Angles

• FX Draw 3 can mark angles with one-click. If you
  right-click on a marked angle, you can select
  from 10 different angle marking options.
• Angle marks are dynamic. Move the lines and the
  angles are re-measured.

10
Rulers Protractors

• The ruler and protractor tools let you
  demonstrate measurements on paper and on screen.

11
The Mathematics Tools

• Function Graphs
• Statistical Graphs
• Normal Distribution Curves
• Venn Diagrams
• Number Lines
• Grids and Dots
• Unit Circle
• Tree Diagrams

12
Function Graphs

• The function graphs tool lets you draw just about
  any graph that can be defined by a function

• Cartesian Functions
• Inverse Functions
• Polar Functions
• Parametric Functions
• Implicitly Defined Functions
• Systems of Inequations

• Conic Sections
• Shaded Integrals
• Points and Vectors
• Tangent Lines
• Constants and Animations

13
Quick Entry Screen
14
Cartesian Functions

• Enter functions in terms of x (y is optional).
  FX Draw can quickly find and annotate points of
  interest on the graph.

Axes in terms of p
15
Inverse Functions

• Enter functions in terms of y (x is optional).

16
Polar Functions

• Enter in terms of r and th (FX Draw converts th
  into ?). Inverse polar functions are supported.

17
Parametric Functions

• Enter as x f(t) y f(t)

18
Implicitly Defined Functions
19
Systems of Inequations
20
Conic Sections
21
Shaded Integrals

• FX Draw can shade integrals using a click drag
  system and annotate what it has shaded!

22
Points Vectors

• Enter points as (x,y), vectors as ltx,ygt. You can
  join points and vectors using the sign.

23
Constants Animations

• Placing a, b, c, d or m into an equation allows
  you to modify the function dynamically. You can
  even put them into the bounds of integrals.

24
Statistical Graphs

• FX Draw 3 supports a large number of statistical
  graph types.

• Box Whisker Plots
• Dot Frequency Diagrams
• Histograms
• Back-to-back Histograms
• Scattergraphs
• Line Graphs MPA
• Bar Graphs

• Column Graphs
• Cumulative Frequency Plots
• Frequency Polygons
• Residuals Graph
• Stem Leaf Graph
• Triangular Graph

25
Statistics Graph Properties
26
Data Generators

• FX Draw 3 includes handy data generators that can
  save you hours of time. Just fill in the blanks
  and push OK.

27
Box Plot Example Part 1

• Use the Normal Random Number Generator to
  generate some data into Column A and then use
  the generator again to generate data with a
  different mean and standard deviation into Column
  B

28
Box Plot Example Part 2

• Make sure you are graphing Columns A and B, and
  make sure that you are graphing a Box Plot.

29
Box Plot Example Part 3

Other Statistical Functions

• FX Draws statistics tool can also
• Produce summary statistics for one variable and
  two variable data
• Perform regression analysis for seven regression
  models
• Handle grouped data and frequency tables
• Produce frequency tables, cumulative frequency
  tables and grouped data from raw data
• Transform data using a variety of functions

31
Normal Distribution Curves

• The normal distribution curve tool gives you
  quick access to shaded normal distribution
  curves. You can also add annotations to the
  curves.

32
Venn Diagrams
33
Number Lines

• Enter functions onto the number lines as x lt 10,
  x ltgt 4, x 5, x gt 3.
• Number lines can be horizontal or vertical.

34
Grid / Dot Papers

• FX Draw can produce a wide variety of grid and
  dot papers.

35
Unit Circle

• The Home Key, Page Up, Page Down, Up Arrow and
  Down Arrow keys can be used to animate a unit
  circle.

36
Tree Diagrams

• Enter a trees shape using the number of
  branches at each level. For example, this tree
  is 4,3,2.

37
Gallery Images

• Gallery images provide hundreds of pre-drawn
  images that you can use as the basis for your own
  diagrams.

38
Gallery Tips 1

• Gallery images have direction. This means that
  each gallery image can be used in many different
  ways.
• Each of these images has come from the same
  base gallery image.

39
Gallery Tips 2

• After you have drawn a gallery image, you can
  ungroup it (Ungroup from the Edit menu). This
  gives you access to the individual components of
  the image and lets you modify it to suit your
  needs.
