	Computer Laboratory Technical Reports: UCAM-CL-TR-574
		Sketchpad has shown the most usefulness as an aid to the understanding of processes, such as the notion of linkages, which can be described with pictures.
		A Sketchpad user sketches directly on a computer display with a “light pen.” The light pen is used both to position parts of the drawing on the display and to point to them to change them.
		Sketchpad itself is able to move parts of the drawing around to meet new conditions which the user may apply to them.

		Sketchpad was an innovative system developed in 1963 by Ivan Sutherland as part of his PhD thesis.
		Sketchpad's drawings were created, duplicated and stored at 2000:1 scale which allowed very large layouts.
		Sketchpad proved beyond doubt that computers could automate repetitive design and drafting tasks with a reliability and accuracy not possible by manual methods.

		The major feature which distinguishes a Sketchpad drawing from a paper and pencil drawing is the user’s ability to specify to Sketchpad mathematical conditions on already drawn parts of his drawing which will be automatically satisfied by the computer to make the drawing take the exact shape desired.
		Sketchpad can often find an order in which the variables of a drawing may be re-evaluated to completely satisfy all the conditions on them in just one pass.
		By using Sketchpad’s relaxation procedure we were to demonstrate analysis of the force distribution in the members of a pin connected truss.

	Geometry Session 4, Part A: Introduction to Geometer's Sketchpad
		One of the major benefits of dynamic geometry Sketchpad and software like it is the ability to quickly alter geometric objects while preserving the properties of their construction.
		For example, you can use Sketchpad to create a triangle with one right angle, and then explore the relationship between the three side lengths by moving the triangle's points around while preserving the constructed right angle.
		One other major feature of Sketchpad is the ability to measure segments, angles, and other geometric properties such as area.

	MathsNet: Review of Geometer's Sketchpad 4
		With the introduction in Version 4 of advanced graphing, it becomes apparent that Geometer's Sketchpad is not just for dynamic geometry but dynamic graphing too, and as such it offers similar facilitiies to the likes of Omnigraph and Autograph.
		There is no doubt that, whilst Sketchpad has been kept the same at an initial superficial level, the more you explore the more you discover enhanced features.
		There is no doubt that Sketchpad, previous a great program, has marched on much further and now offers teachers a wealth of useful tools and options for investigating not just plane geometry but coordinate geometry too.
