getting started

Launching the Explorer

To start the explorer web application server, run the following command in your terminal within your activated virtual environment:

explorer
        

Alternatively, you can start the application via Python module execution:

python -m geometor.explorer
        

Accessing the Application

Once running, the Flask server starts on port 4444 by default. Open your web browser and navigate to:

http://127.0.0.1:4444
        

Starting Model Templates

Upon initializing a new model (via the New button in the File panel), you can choose from three initial templates:

• Default: Initializes the canvas with origin point A (0, 0) and unit point B (1, 0).

• Blank: Starts with an empty canvas for custom point placement.

• Equidistant: Places symmetric given points at A (-1/2, 0) and B (1/2, 0).
