## Text

###
Text

With this mode you can create texts or LATEX formulas.

1. Clicking on the drawing pad creates a new text at this location.

2. Clicking on a point creates a new text whose position is relative to this point.

Afterwards, a dialog appears where you may enter the text. It is also possible to use object's values and thus create dynamic texts.

Input | Description
`''This is a text''` | simple text
`''Point A = '' + A` | dynamic text using the value of point A
`''a = '' + a + ''cm''` | dynamic text using the value of segment a

The position of a text may be absolute on the screen or relative to the coordinate system (see properties of the text, 3.1.1).

###
LATEX Formulas

In GeoGebra you can also write formulas. To do so set the check box for a LATEX formula in the dialog of the text mode and enter your formula in LATEX syntax. Here, some important LATEX commands are explained. Please have a look at any LATEX documentation for further information.

LATEX input | Result
`a \cdot b` | a . b
`\frac{a}{b}` |
`\sqrt{x}` |
`\sqrt[n]{x}` |
`\vec{v}` |
`\overline{AB}` |
`x^{2}` | x2
`a_{1}` | a1
`\sin\alpha + \cos\beta` | sin + cos
`\int_{a}^{b} x dx` | xdx
`\sum_{i=1}^{n} i^2` | i2
