Vector Gem vs Vectors and Planes
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Vector Gem
Visualize and manipulate 3D vectors, lines, and planes with multiple input formats. Explore intersections with axes and coordinate planes, and customize object colors and display settings.
- 3D vector, line, and plane input
- Multiple input forms supported
- Display of starting points and direction vectors
- Calculation of intersection points
- Customizable object colors and display settings

Vector Gem allows the input and three-dimensional display of vectors, lines and planes. The input supports different forms (e.g. linear equation, vector form, normalized form, ...) Vector Gem can display the starting point, the direction vectors and the normalized vector for each plane and calculate the intersection points with the axes. For lines it can display the starting point and the direction vector and calculate the points of intersection with the coordinate planes. The color can be selected for each object along with different settings for the display.
Vectors and Planes
This app visualizes and explains complex 3D geometry concepts, including linear and quadric structures and their intersections. It offers interactive 3D graphs and step-by-step calculation algorithms for a deeper understanding of mathematical principles.
- Visualize 3D linear structures
- Visualize 3D quadric structures
- Interactive 3D graphs
- Step-by-step calculation algorithms
- Combinations of structures
- Linear Algebra concepts

Vectors and Planes App helps visualize and understand 3D linear and quadric structures and their intersections. List of linear structures and combinations: 1. Two vector combination. 2. Plane. 3. Line and plane combination. 4. Two plane combination. 5. Three plane combination. Current list of quadric structures: 1. Two sphere combination. 2. Standard ellipsoid. 3. Ellipsoid in a form of positive-definite matrix. 4. Standard cone. 5. Cone in a form of indefinite matrix. 6. 1-sheet hyperboloid. 7. 1-sheet hyperboloid in a form of indefinite matrix. 8. 2-sheet hyperboloid. 9. 2-sheet hyperboloid in a form of indefinite matrix. 10. Standard cylinder. 11. Cylinder in a form of positive-semidefinite matrix. 12. Hyperbolic paraboloid. 13. Elliptic paraboloid. Current list of combinations of quadric and linear structures: 1. Matrix ellipsoid and line. 2. Standard ellipsoid and plane. 3. Matrix ellipsoid and plane. 4. Matrix cone and line. 5. Standard cone and plane. 6. 1-sheet hyperboloid in matrix form and line. 7. 2-sheet hyperboloid in matrix form and line. 8. Matrix cylinder and line. 9. Elliptic paraboloid and line. 10. Hyperbolic paraboloid and line. Interactive 3D graphs are provided for all of the above. Step by step calculation algorithms are provided for all intersection point sets. Many of the algorithms are based on Linear Algebra concepts. Those, in turn, are explained in our “Matrix Solver Step by Step” app. Version 10 was completely redesigned. Developers hope to get feedback from users at graphmath@aol.com.
