.SH NAME
kig \- an interactive geometry program for KDE
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B kig
.RI "[ " generic-options " ]"
[ \fIURL\fP ]
.br
.B kig \-c, \-\-convert\-to\-native
[ \fB\-o, \-\-outfile\fP \fInative-file\fP ]
\fIfile\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBKig\fP is an application for interactive geometry. It is intended to
serve two purposes:
.PP
.RS
\- to allow students to interactively explore mathematical figures and
concepts using the computer;
.PP
\- to serve as a WYSIWYG tool for drawing mathematical figures and
including them in other documents.
.RE
.PP
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 the other
parts change as a result.
.PP
Kig supports loci and user-defined macros. It also supports imports
and exports to/from foreign file formats including Cabri, Dr. Geo, KGeo,
KSeg and XFig.
.PP
This application is part of the official KDE edutainment module.
.SH OPTIONS
Below are the kig-specific options.
For a full summary of options, run \fIkig \-\-help\fP.
.TP
.B \-c, \-\-convert\-to\-native
Do not show a GUI. Instead, convert the specified file to the native
Kig format. The native Kig file will be written to standard output
unless \-\-outfile is passed (see below).
.TP
\fB\-o, \-\-outfile\fP \fInative-file\fP
Used with \-\-convert\-to\-native to specify where to save the newly
created Kig file. Note that a filename of '\-' means standard
output (which is also the default).
.SH SEE ALSO
Full user documentation is available through the KDE Help Centre.
You can also enter the URL
\fIhelp:/kig/\fP
directly into konqueror or you can run
`\fIkhelpcenter help:/kig/\fP'
from the command-line.
.PP
If the KDE Help Centre is not installed then you can install the package
\fIkdeedu-doc-html\fP and read this documentation in HTML format from
\fI/opt/kde3/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/kig/\fP.
