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
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.
