4D Draw vs Vectors and Planes
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
4D Draw
This app allows users to draw and visualize four-dimensional figures using color to represent the fourth coordinate. It includes a help menu with drawing tutorials and creative ideas to aid in understanding 4D space.
- Draw 4-dimensional figures
- Use color for the fourth coordinate
- Built-in 'How to draw' guide
- 4D construction ideas
- Visualize 4-dimensional space

4D Draw is a simple vector-graphics app that lets you draw 4‑dimensional figures. It represents each point's first three coordinates in the usual way, while using color to represent the fourth coordinate. A built-in Help menu includes a “How to draw” page for an easy start, followed by a page of “4D construction ideas” to set you on your way towards visualizing 4-dimensional space. 4D Draw is intended for geometry students who want to learn to visualize 4‑dimensional space. People looking for a more recreational introduction to 4D should begin with 4D Maze instead. People looking for an even more recreational introduction to modern concepts of space and symmetry may enjoy the Torus Games or KaleidoPaint.
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.
