KIG(1)                         KDE User's Manual                        KIG(1)


NAME

       kig - an interactive geometry program for KDE


SYNOPSIS

       kig [-c, --convert-to-native [-o, --outfile filename]]
           [KDE Generic Options] [Qt Generic Options]


DESCRIPTION

       Kig is an application for interactive geometry. It is intended to serve
       two purposes:

       o   To allow students to interactively explore mathematical figures and
           concepts using the computer;

       o   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.


OPTIONS

       -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.
