Wingeom (996K) for Windows 95/98/ME/2K/XP/Vista

Page last updated: 4 Feb 10
Wingeom is for high-precision geometric constructions in both two and three dimensions. Drawings can be highlighted and animated in a variety of ways, as the demonstration files show (22 Dec 09).
There is also some tutorial material available (21 Feb 08).
If the program behaves strangely, there is a page of FAQ, which may help. If not, you can e-mail me at the address found in the program’s Help|About dialog box.
One way to insert a Wingeom diagram into a webpage is to create an SVG file.
For those who have had trouble finding a font that enables Greek letters and other special symbols, try the MS LineDraw font.

Peter Hickey has made several applications available at his site.
Marilyn Murray has made several applications available at her site.
4 Feb: At the request of a user, I gathered all the graphical output formats (four in most windows) and moved them from the Other menu into the File menu (as was done with winplot a few months ago). While testing the results, I discovered that repairs were needed in a couple of the minor windows. I also installed a menu item so that the user can alter the arrowhead size in 3D windows.
12 Jan: A very small addition --- I noticed that I did not teach 3D files to retain arrow settings on the axes. From now on, they will.
10 Jan: Another productive request from a user: In selected dialog boxes where the program is expecting vector input, you can now insert numerical data instead of two vertex labels, using the bracket-and-comma syntax “[number,number]”. This currently applies to the Translation dialog boxes and to the 2D Parallel and Perpendicular dialog boxes. As always, I await news of unintended consequences.
5 Jan: Thanks to a user report, I repaired a bug in the polyhedral slicing calculations that was making the “discard” option in 3D produce erratic results. Sorry if this caused any consternation.
