Introduction to the process of making honeycomb graphics using geometric sketchpad

In complex graphics drawing scenarios, "honeycomb" graphics are favored for their beauty and practicality. As a powerful drawing software, Geometric Sketchpad provides an easy way to draw such graphics. PHP editor Zimo will explain in detail the process of making honeycomb graphics with geometric sketchpad and guide everyone to master this practical skill.

1. Construct a line segment and rotate it. Draw a line segment AB. Double-click point A, which is marked as the center of rotation. Select line segment AB and point B, select the [Transform]-[Rotate] command, and set the rotation angle to 60 degrees. Click the [Rotate] button. Change the label of point B’ to C.

2. Construct a vertical line. Select point C and line segment AB, select [Perpendicular Line] in the [Construction] menu, and construct a perpendicular line passing through point C and AB. Draw the perpendicular line AC through point B. The two perpendicular lines intersect at point D.

3. Hide and construct line segments. Select the two vertical lines and line segments AB and AC, and select the [Show]-[Hide Object] command. Draw line segments AD, DB, and DC.

4. Use iteration to construct honeycomb graphics. Select points A and B, and select the [Transform]-[Iteration] command. Click A, D in sequence. Then select the [Add New Mapping] command in [Structure], and then click points B and D. Then select the [Add New Mapping] command in [Structure], and then click points C and D. Select the [Final Iteration] command in [Display]. You can increase or decrease the number of iterations in [Display]. Click the [Iterate] button. as the picture shows.

5. Hide line segments and points. Select the line segments AD, BD, CD and points A, B, C, D, and select the [Show]-[Hide Object] command. The honeycomb graphic drawing is completed.
