Kig
Kig is an application for interactive geometric construction,
allowing students to draw and explore mathematical figures and concepts
using the computer.
It is intended to serve two purposes:
- Allow students to interactively explore mathematical
figures and concepts using the computer
- Serve as a WYSIWYG tool for drawing mathematical figures
and including them in other documents
Kig supports macros and is scriptable using Python.
It can
import and export files in various formats, including SVG,
Cabri, Dr. Geo, KGeo, KSeg, and XFig.
Kig is part of the KDE 4 education module.
It is meant as a better replacement for such free programs as
KGeo, KSeg and Dr.
Geo and commercial programs like Cabri.
