This manual page documents briefly the carmetal command.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a
manual page.
carmetal is a dinamical geometry software written in Java. Ruler and compass constructions can be changed
by dragging one of the basic construction points. The construction follows immediately. The student can
check the correctness of the construction and gain new insight. Carmetal allow exercices generations
(jobs) automaticly checked with html export, and html diaporama generations.
Arithmetic computations, numerical solutions, curves and functions go beyond classical constructions. It
is even possible to construct in 3D using advanced macros. Other geometries, hyperbolic or elliptic, can
be explored.
