.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
\fBKig\fP is an application for interactive geometry. It is intended to
|
||
|
|
serve two purposes:
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.RS
|
||
|
|
\- to allow students to interactively explore mathematical figures and
|
||
|
|
concepts using the computer;
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
\- 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 the other
|
||
|
|
parts change as a result.
|
||

Kig supports loci and user-defined macros. It also supports imports
|
||
|
|
and exports to/from foreign file formats including Cabri, Dr. Geo, KGeo,
|
||
|
|
KSeg and XFig.

||

This application is part of the official TDE edutainment module.
|

|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
||
|
|
Below are the kig-specific options.
|
||
|
|
For a full summary of options, run \fIkig \-\-help\fP.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.B \-c, \-\-convert\-to\-native
|
||
|
|
Do not show a GUI. Instead, convert the specified file to the native
|
||
|
|
Kig format. The native Kig file will be written to standard output
|
||
|
|
unless \-\-outfile is passed (see below).
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fB\-o, \-\-outfile\fP \fInative-file\fP
|
||
|
|
Used with \-\-convert\-to\-native to specify where to save the newly
|
||
|
|
created Kig file. Note that a filename of '\-' means standard
|
||
|
|
output (which is also the default).
|
||
|
|
.SH SEE ALSO
|
||
|
|
Full user documentation is available through the TDE Help Centre.

|
\fIhelp:/kig/\fP
|
||
|
|
directly into konqueror or you can run
|

`\fIkhelpcenter help:/kig/\fP'
|
||
|
|
from the command-line.
