kseg Description

kseg - interactive program for exploring Euclidean geometry KSEG is a Free (GPL) interactive geometry program for exploring Euclidean geometry. You create a construction, such as a triangle with a circumcenter, and then, as you drag verteces of the triangle, you can see the circumcenter moving in real time. Of course, you can do a lot more than that--see the feature list below.KSEG can be used in the classroom, for personal exploration of geometry, or for making high-quality figures for LaTeX. It is very fast, stable, and the UI has been designed for efficiency and consistency. I can usually make a construction in KSEG in less than half the time it takes me to do it with similar programs. Despite the name, it is Qt based and does not require KDE to run.Although it goes beyond it's functionality, KSEG has been inspired by the Geometer's Sketchpad.Here are some key features of "kseg":· Fast core which can support large constructions· Free/GPL-runs on Linux (and probably most other systems which support Qt)· Supports multiple languages· Fully Documented· Construction of points, segments, rays, lines, circles, and arcs· Make measurements· Transformations (rotation, translation, scaling, reflection)· Construction of adaptively sampled loci for better quality and speed· Reverse dragging· Infinite undo/redo· Ability to easily redefine points to "edit" drawings· Easy to use editable scripting/macro with support for recursion· Pretty formulas for calculations-with my libkformula· Pretty colors, fonts, etc.· View panning/zooming and multiple simultaneous views· Export view to image file, including antialiased option· Printing· Selection Groups--group a bunch of objects, then select them later with two clicks.Requirements:· an installation of Trolltech's Qt 3.3.x framework (a download bookmark is included with the installer). What's New in This Release: · Move to qmake based build system · Remove dependence on the Qt compatibility headers (now require Qt 3.x)
