PyGeo is most fundamentally a framework for the creation of dynamic geometric constructions - i.e. constructions which embody defined and persistent geometric relationships responsive to real time on-screen interactivity.
PyGeo is, further, an implementation of this underlying abstract framework - exposing a range of geometric objects as the building blocks for virtual, dynamic geometric constructions.
The focus is away from Euclidian geometry and metrics, and toward later geometric and mathematical developments - particularly those connected with projective geometry of real space, and the geometry of complex numbers on the plane and on the unit (Riemann) sphere.
Geomview is an interactive 3D viewing program for Unix. Geomview lets you view and manipulate three-dimensional objects: you use the mouse to rotate, translate, zoom in and out, and so on. Geomview can be used as a standalone viewer for static objects or as a display engine for other programs which produce dynamically changing geometry. Geomview can display objects described in a variety of file formats. Geomview comes with a wide selection of example objects, and you can create your own objects too.
Until now three-dimensional geometry was difficult to teach – the complexity of designs in perspective, models that are difficult and time-consuming to construct… Cabri 3D is the only program that enables you to alleviate these construction difficulties and that also contains the benefits of interactive geometry.
