Introduction to FX Draw 4
Flyout Toolbars Any tool with a red triangle hides a “flyout” toolbar containing extra
tools. Click and hold the left mouse button for > 1 second.
GAD - Geometrically Aware Drawing FX Draw provides dynamic feedback that shows the geometric
relationships in your drawing.
Make sure that GAD is turned on!
GAD Has A Memory! Any relationships that you have created with GAD are
remembered. Move the base object and all relationships are maintained.

Right Click Most figures have extra properties that can be accessed
by right-clicking on the figure.
Figure Information If you select a figure (anything you have drawn) and then
hover the mouse near that figure, FX Draw will display some information about that figure.
Annotations When FX Draw is displaying figure information, right click
your mouse. You are given the opportunity to add an annotation.
Annotations are dynamically updated as the figure changes.
Three Point Circles Many tools require that the object be defined by three
points – triangles, three point arcs, three point ellipses, three point circles. A good way to practice using these tools is to draw a circumcircle using the three point circle tool.
Using the Compass FX Draw 4 adds a Compass tool that works just like the
normal, centre point / point on radius tool, but then remembers the radius so the second and subsequent circles have the same radius.
Use the Compass toolto draw this “daisy”.
Marking Angles FX Draw 4 can mark angles with one-click. If you right-
click on a marked angle, you can select from 10 different angle marking options.
Angle marks are dynamic. Move the lines and the angles are re-measured.

Rulers & Protractors The ruler and protractor tools let you demonstrate
measurements on paper and on screen.

The function graphs tool lets you draw just about any graph that can be defined by a function
Quick Entry Screen
Cartesian Functions Enter functions in terms of x (y = is optional). FX Draw
can quickly find and annotate points of interest on the graph.

Constants & Animations Placing a, b, c, d or m into an equation allows you to modify the
function dynamically. You can even put them into the bounds of integrals.
Statistical Graphs
Box & Whisker Plots Dot Frequency Diagrams Histograms Back-to-back Histograms Scattergraphs Line Graphs & MPA Bar Graphs
Column Graphs Cumulative Frequency Plots Frequency Polygons Residuals Graph Stem & Leaf Graph Triangular Graph
FX Draw 4 supports a large number of statistical graph types.
Statistics Graph Properties
Data Generators FX Draw 4 includes handy data generators that can save
you hours of time. Just fill in the blanks and push OK.
Box Plot Example Part 1 Use the Normal Random Number Generator to generate
some data into Column A – and then use the generator again to generate data with a different mean and standard deviation into Column B
Box Plot Example Part 2 Choose Quick Graph from the Right Click Menu on
Columns A and B.
Then press the Graph Type button and choose a box plot

Other Statistical Functions FX Draw’s statistics tool can also:
Produce summary statistics for one variable and two variable data
Perform regression analysis for seven regression models Handle grouped data and frequency tables Produce frequency tables, cumulative frequency tables and
grouped data from raw data Transform data using a variety of functions
Normal Distribution Curves The normal distribution curve tool gives you quick
access to shaded normal distribution curves. You can also add annotations to the curves.

x = 5, x > 3. Number lines can be horizontal or vertical.

Grid / Dot Papers FX Draw can produce a wide
variety of grid and dot papers.
Unit Circle The Home Key, Page Up, Page Down, Up Arrow and
Down Arrow keys can be used to animate a unit circle.
Tree Diagrams Enter a tree’s “shape” using the number of branches at
each level. For example, this tree is 4,3,2.
Gallery Images Gallery images provide hundreds of pre-drawn images
that you can use as the basis for your own diagrams.
Gallery Tips 1 Gallery images have “direction”. This means that each
gallery image can be used in many different ways. Each of these images has come from the same “base”
gallery image.
Gallery Tips 2 After you have drawn a gallery image, you can “ungroup”
it (Ungroup from the Edit menu). This gives you access to the individual components of the image and lets you modify it to suit your needs.
