NAME
       kig - An	interactive geometry program by	KDE

SYNOPSIS

       kig [-c,	--convert-to-native [-o, --outfile filename]] [options]

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

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

          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.

SEE ALSO
       More detailed user documentation	is available from help:/kig (either

       There is	also further information available at the KDE Education
       website[1].
