EUKLEIDES(1)                   Eukleides Manual                   EUKLEIDES(1)


NAME

       eukleides - Eukleides interpreter to PostScript


SYNOPSIS

       eukleides [OPTION...] FILE


DESCRIPTION

       Eukleides is a computer language devoted to elementary plane geometry.
       It aims to be a fairly comprehensive system to create geometric
       figures, either static or dynamic.  It allows to handle geometric types
       of data like points, vectors, lines, circles, or conics.

       The eukleides program is useful to convert Eukleides scripts into
       Encapsulated PostScript files.  It may also interpret scripts using
       interactive variables to multi-page PostScript documents which can
       later be transformed into animated GIFs using for instance
       ImageMagick's convert(1).


OPTIONS

       -l, --locale[=LANG]
              Use localized keywords.  With no argument given, the current
              locale is set to the value of the LANG environment variable.
              Otherwise LANG has to be a valid locale identifier, e.g. 'fr_FR'
              or 'fr_FR.utf8', depending on the default charmap.  This feature
              may be disabled.

       -o, --output[=OUTPUTFILE]
              Set an output file name.  With no argument given, the output
              stream is set to standard output.

       -#, --interactive=STRING
              Modify interactive variables.

       -a, --animate=STRING
              Animate interactive script.

       -b, --batchmode[=DATAFILE]
              Don't stop for input.  If given, use DATAFILE instead of
              standard input.

       -v, --version
              Print version number and exit.

       -h, --help
              Print immediate help and exit.
