Geometer File Locations

All the sample files can be found in the installation directory of Geometer. During installation, Geometer suggests that you use this as the defalut directory:

C:\Program Files\Geometer

but the person who installed it could have put it in any directory.

Double-click on the Geometer icon and once Geometer is running, if you issue the Open File command from Geometer, the file chooser will start in that installation directory. (If you double-click on a Geometer diagram, the file chooser will start in the directory of the file that you double-clicked.)

See File Chooser for details on how to use the file chooser.

Here are the usual subdirectories of the Geometer installation directory:

All the files used in the online tutorial are in the subdirectory called Demos.
The files used in the reference manual are in the subdirectory called Reference. That directory has various subdirectories corresponding to the chapters in the reference manual.
If you purchased the Book called Geometry with Computers, the files used there are in the GeomBook subdirectory. If you did not purchase the book, those files will not be present.
The HTML subdirectory does not contain Geometer diagram files; it contains the help files that are viewed from the Geometer Help menu. See below. On a Windows or LINUX system, set your environment variable GEOMDOC to refer to this directory. GEOMDOC should probably be something like this: C:\Program Files\Geometer\HTML.
There may be other directories with additional files in them.

Example: If you are going through the online tutorial and it tells you to open the file called Circ.T, start the file chooser using the Open command under the File pulldown menu. Double click on the directory entry Demos, and then double click on the file name called Circ.T.

Example: If you are reading the reference manual and you would like to experiment with the file that it calls Ref1/Orthocenter.T, start the file chooser with the Open command in the File pulldown menu, double click on the Reference directory (that's where all the reference manual files are found), then double-click on the Ref1 subdirectory, and finally on the file called Orthocenter.T.

If you own the book, Geometry with Computers, its files are organized exactly like those in the reference manual except that you will first click on the GeomBook directory instead of the Reference directory.

Help Files

The Geometer help files in HTML format are found in the HTML subdirectory of the installation directory. If you would prefer to use your normal web browser on those files instead of the simple-minded Geometer built-in browser, double-click on the file called index.html in the HTML subdirectory outside of the Geometer program.
