Dynamic Geometry or Interactive Geometry Software are computer programs which allow one to create and then manipulate geometric constructions, primarily in plane geometry.
One starts construction by putting a few points and using them to define new objects such as lines, circles or other points.
After some construction is done, one can move the points one started with and see how the construction changes.
One can alter the figure
dynamically in order to test and prove (or disproved)
conjectures and gain mathematical insight that is less
readily available with static drawings by hand.
