# Lists of Geometric Elements

Accessing the geometric elements of a Cinderella construction represents an important interface between CindyScript and a geometric construction. In particular, if for some reason the element names (i.e., labels) are unknown or predefined, one needs a way to retrieve the geometric elements. This is done with operators that return lists of elements of a particular kind.

expression: | returns:
allpoints() | a list of all points of the construction
alllines() | a list of all lines of the construction
allsegments() | a list of all segments of the construction
allcircles() | a list of all circles of the construction
allconics() | a list of all conics of the construction
allelements() | a list of all elements of the construction
allmasses() | a list of all masses of the construction
allsprings() | a list of all springs of the construction
incidences(<geo>) | a list of elements incident to another element

Please refer to the examples section for extensive examples on the use of these operators.
