.SH NAME
eukleides - Eukleides interpreter to PostScript
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBeukleides\fP [\fIOPTION\fP...] \fIFILE\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
Eukleides is a computer language devoted to elementary plane geometry.
It aims to be a fairly comprehensive system to create geometric figures,
either static or dynamic.
It allows one to handle geometric types of data like points, vectors,
lines, circles, or conics.
.PP
The \fBeukleides\fP program is useful to convert Eukleides scripts
into Encapsulated PostScript files.
It may also interpret scripts using interactive variables to multi-page
PostScript documents which can later be transformed into animated GIFs
using for instance ImageMagick's
.BR convert (1).
