Incorporating Other Graphics into The Geometer’s Sketchpad

Geometer’s Sketchpad can be used to examine images for geometric patterns and information.
Photographs, clip art, and drawings can be pasted into a Geometer’s Sketchpad sketch.

Reminder: make sure you have permission to use images in this way.

Steps to follow:
1.	Find an image you would like to use.
2.	Right-click and copy the image.
3.	Open a new sketch in Geometer’s Sketchpad.
4.	Right-click in the sketch and choose “Paste Picture”.
5.	When the image is pasted into the sketch, it is a single object. When it is selected, the entire image will be outlined in pink. Deselect by clicking in the white space outside the edges of the image.
6.	These images cannot be measured or transformed; only figures created in Sketchpad can be manipulated in this way.
