kig - An interactive geometry program by KDE
Contents
Description
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.

this option, or providing a filename of - will output the file to standard output.
