Get real coordinates of Point (or any other constructed object)

3.4k Views Asked by At

In GeoGebra, you can easily construct scenes with the GUI and the tools available in the Graphics view. I now have two functions and created some objects around them using that tools (Their intersection point, a circle tangent to both etc.). The whole depends on 5 parameters I defined as sliders for testing.

Now I want to know the coordinates of the point. It is defined as Intersect[l, h] which doesn't help me. I can access its coordinates too (0.8, 3.98) but I want to know how to calculate them depending on the parameters. (I'd expect it to be something like (3a, 7+b-2a)). I know GeoGebra can do this because it must have done it internally to be able to draw the whole image. But I don't know how to access this information.

If you want to get the current position of a Point P you can use the x and y commands. These will update whenever the position of P changes so that you don't have to recalculate where the point should be by hand.
