The Distance & Displacement Hablet lets the user draw a path of a vector and then see what the length of that vector is, as well as what the displacement of the same vector is. To do so, simply click and drag anywhere on the grid. The point at which you begin pressing down on the mouse is where the drawn vector begins. Once the mouse is released, the hablet calculates the distance and displacement of the drawn vector and displays it.
