GeoGebra is the closest I know, at least when limiting to copyleft [or theoretically the SQLite model would be fine, but it's pretty unique in dependability and selflessness for open source projects not subject to copyleft] "middle/high school (constructive?) geometry & function graphing teaching aid" classroom-grade robustness: bored & curious children are somewhat creative in their play/"(ab)use" of teaching/classroom software: buggy/anti-intuitive software can't survive the combination of:

- bored curious children playing around, bright and capable curious children exploring (way) beyond what the teacher explained, - normal students just getting by with the topic and relying on the software to aid their subject matter comprehension, - and teachers trying to plan lessons around it where they have to rely on it not needing a tutorial because there wouldn't really be time for such in the curriculum schedule.

One of my favourite things about (desktop) Geogebra is its ability to export to tikz. Making complicated geometric shapes in a latex file can be done so easily with Geogebra. Perhaps not as elegant as Castel, but still quite nice.
