KIG(1)
NAME
kig - an interactive geometry program for KDE
SYNOPSIS
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:
- o To allow students to interactively explore mathematical figures and
- concepts using the computer;
- o To serve as a WYSIWYG tool for drawing mathematical figures and in
- cluding 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
App options, in a variablelist
- -c, --convert-to-native
- Do 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.
