CTAN update: tkz-elements
by CTAN Announcements 27 May '25

27 May '25

Alain Matthes submitted an update to the tkz-elements package. Version: 4.00c 2025-05-25 License: lppl1.3 Summary description: A Lua library for drawing Euclidean geometry with TikZ or tkz-euclide Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This update marks a significant evolution of the tkz-elements package, both in its internal architecture and documentation structure. Beyond performance improvements, many new … [View More]features have been added to expand the package's geometric capabilities and make it more accessible and modular. Documentation: A major rewrite of the documentation has been undertaken to improve clarity, consistency, and usability: Index fully corrected and rebuilt Macro indexing redesigned for greater coherence Obsolete sections removed, including the former News section New sections added: Short Contents, Getting Started, Class path, LuaLaTeX for Beginners, Global Variables and Constants, Various Functions, Module utils and Metapost. Package Enhancements: The dependency on an external "class" implementation for point has been removed. All classes now support the __call metamethod, enabling a Short Syntax for object creation. This syntax is now consistent across all classes. New Class: path. The new path class manages sequences of points, especially for geometric constructions like conic sections. Automatically generated paths are now available for: Segments, Circular arcs and Triangles. Future versions will extend this to more shapes. The path class also facilitates interactions with TikZ decorations and custom drawings. Metapost Integration: A dedicated mini-macro has been added for exporting point coordinates to MetaPost files. Functional Additions Intersection now supports "known" and "near" options for more precise control. The get_points function is still available but replaced conceptually by the get() method for most geometric classes. Option values must now be passed as strings: "swap" -- instead of swap The barycentric_coordinates function has been rewritten for better accuracy. New: trilinear_coordinates support for triangle-based calculations. New methods on line: orthogonal_at(pt, k) like colinear_at(pt, k) for direction-based extensions. Replaces old _east, _west, etc. with more geometric flexibility. Advanced Geometry New function: search_ellipse(p1, ..., p5) — Construct an ellipse passing through five points. Triangle Class Additions: adams_points, adams_circle, lamoen_points, lamoen_circle, yiu_points, yiu_circles,, yiu_triangle, circumcevian, reflection, excenter, brocard_point (first and second), kimberling (e.g., Brocard midpoint) Algebraic Capabilities Though not yet fully documented, the following functions are present and functional: gauss_jordan, gauss_jordan_rect, solve_linear_system, solve(...), solve_cubic(a, b, c, d) Fixes and Refinements triangle:point() method corrected for consistent output. get_lengths now computes correct dimensions for rectangles. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/tkz-elements The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/tkz/tkz-elements/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
