Perspective Drawing in GeoGebra
You can use GeoGebra to make perspective drawings.
Perspective drawing usually consists of points, lines, segments and polygons as has been described in other entries. In these instructions, we are going to look at a small example you can follow that will help you practice making perspective drawings all by yourself. It’s recommended that you turn on the gridlines in Graphics View if they are turned off.

Menu. - 2.
- Draw a horizon line in the middle of the coordinate system by using the
Line
tool. Take a look at the figure below for an example. - 3.
- Draw the vanishing point on the horizon line by using the
Point
tool. - 4.
- Draw a rectangle by using the
Polygon
tool. - 5.
- Draw straight lines from the vertices (corners) of the rectangle to the vanishing point by using the
Segment
tool. To make lines dashed, click on Move
