NAME¶
kig - an interactive geometry program for KDESYNOPSIS¶
kig
[-c, --convert-to-native [-o, --outfile filename]]
[KDE Generic Options] [Qt Generic Options]
DESCRIPTION¶
Kig is an application for interactive geometry. It is intended to serve two purposes:•To allow students to interactively
explore mathematical figures and concepts using the computer;
•To serve as a WYSIWYG tool for drawing
mathematical figures and including them in other documents.
With this program you can do geometry on a computer just like you would on a
blackboard in a classroom. However the program allows you to move and change
parts of a geometrical drawing so that you can see how other parts change as a
result.
Kig supports loci and user-defined macros. It also imports and exports both to
and from foreign file formats including Cabri, Dr. Geo, KGeo, KSeg and XFig.
This application is part of the official KDE edutainment module.
OPTIONS¶
-c, --convert-to-nativeDo not show a GUI. Instead convert the
specified file to native Kig format. The native Kig file will be written to
standard output unless --outfile is passed.
-o, --outfile filename
Used with --convert-to-native to
specify where to save the newly created Kig file. Not specifying this option,
or providing a filename of - will output the file to standard output.
