]> Ben Burton bab@debian.org May 25, 2005 Trinity Desktop Environment kig 1 kig an interactive geometry program for &kde; kig -c, --convert-to-native -o, --outfile filename KDE Generic Options Qt Generic Options &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. 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. More detailed user documentation is available from help:/kig (either enter this URL into &konqueror;, or run khelpcenter help:/kig). There is also further information available at the &kde; Edutainment website. &kig; was written by DominiqueDevriese devriese@kde.org, MaurizioPaolini paolini@dmf.bs.unicatt.it, FrancoPasquarelli pasqui@dmf.bs.unicatt.it, PinoToscano toscano.pino@tiscali.it, and others.
