NAME

6       kig - an interactive geometry program for KDE
7

SYNOPSIS

9       kig [-c, --convert-to-native [-o, --outfile filename]]
10           [KDE Generic Options] [Qt Generic Options]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Kig is an application for interactive geometry. It is intended to serve
14       two purposes:
15
16       ·   To allow students to interactively explore mathematical figures and
17           concepts using the computer;
18
19       ·   To serve as a WYSIWYG tool for drawing mathematical figures and
20           including them in other documents.
21
22       With this program you can do geometry on a computer just like you would
23       on a blackboard in a classroom. However the program allows you to move
24       and change parts of a geometrical drawing so that you can see how other
25       parts change as a result.
26
27       Kig supports loci and user-defined macros. It also imports and exports
28       both to and from foreign file formats including Cabri, Dr. Geo, KGeo,
29       KSeg and XFig.
30
31       This application is part of the official KDE edutainment module.
32

OPTIONS

34       -c, --convert-to-native
35           Do not show a GUI. Instead convert the specified file to native Kig
36           format. The native Kig file will be written to standard output
37           unless --outfile is passed.
38
39       -o, --outfile filename
40           Used with --convert-to-native to specify where to save the newly
41           created Kig file. Not specifying this option, or providing a
42           filename of - will output the file to standard output.
