Geometry app three suggestions

ConvexHull, Voronoi Diagram, Delaunay Triangulation should be readily available. There is a convex hull function in CAS, but it requires some extra programming to go from the list of points to the picture. I could not find Voronoi or Delaunay.

What do you mean by extra programming for convexhull? GC:=convexhull(list of points or complex); point(GC) will display the points and polygon(GC) will display the polygon.
I did not program Voronoi diagram nor Delaunay triangulation, but it should not be that hard to program it yourself in a CAS program if you need it.
By the way, I have no idea what the geometry package of mathematica looks like, I don't have a mathematica license:-)

Quote: * It should be possible to save a picture obtained on the Geometry App of the HP Prime as a PDF or EPS or something like that which then could be transfered to a PC or smart phone via Bluetooth (yes, the connectivity kit does not work in Linux). This capability would be great for preparing LaTeX docs for the course.

This could be easily done by exporting the SYMB view to a text file that you could transfer and load in Xcas where you can export your figure as PDF/EPS/PNG or translate to LaTeX. I think that supporting transfert of figures as text files to and from the PC would really be useful.
