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 includ-
	 ing 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  cre-
	 ated Kig file. Not specifying this option, or providing a filename of -
	 will output the file to standard output.
