I have used Geometry Expressions to visualize these geometric forms and check out a variety of conjectures. Geometry Expressions is the world's first Interactive Symbolic Geometry System. This means: Geometric figures can be defined by either Symbolic Constraints or numeric locations.

You can download Geometry Expressions 1.0 Free Trial. It is a fully featured 30 day evaluation copy of the software. All constraints, constructions and measurements are available for you to use.
