<para>&kig; is an application for interactive geometry. It is intended to
|
|
|
|
|
serve two purposes:</para>
|
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist><listitem><para>To allow students to interactively explore
|
|
|
|
|
mathematical figures and concepts using the computer;</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>To serve as a WYSIWYG tool for drawing mathematical figures and
|
|
|
|
|
including them in other documents.</para></listitem></itemizedlist>
|
|
|
|
|
<para>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.</para>
|
|
|
|
|
<para>&kig; supports loci and user-defined macros. It also imports and
|
|
|
|
|
exports both to and from foreign file formats including
|
|
|
|
|
<application>Cabri</application>, <application>Dr. Geo</application>,
|
|
|
|
|
&kgeo;, <application>KSeg</application> and <application>XFig</application>.</para>

|
