CTAN update: tkz-elements
by CTAN Announcements 10 Dec '25

10 Dec '25

Alain Matthes submitted an update to the tkz-elements package. Version: 4.44c 2025-12-09 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: A Lua library for drawing Euclidean geometry with TikZ or tkz-euclide Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 4.44c of tkz-elements brings substantial extensions to the geometric engine, new analytical tools, and important improvements to the Lua–TeX interface. On the geometric side, the triangle class gains two new constructions related to the Feuerbach–Apollonius configuration, including a dedicated implementation of Kimberling point n°181. The circle class benefits from an enhanced CCC method, now able to handle a broader range of special tangency cases reliably. The vector class has been significantly extended: it now provides the components dx and dy, together with a full set of analytical methods (dot, cross, is_parallel, is_orthogonal, angle_to, rotate, etc.), offering a more complete and consistent framework for vector-based computations inside Lua. At the system level, new global constants have been introduced to control TeX dimension limits (tkz.maxdimen_pt, tkz.max_coord_cm, tkz.max_coord_safe). These values are used to reinforce the safety of coordinate transfer between Lua and TikZ. The macro \tkzGetNodes has been updated accordingly: only point names ending in p or pp are transformed, and coordinates exceeding the safe range are automatically replaced by (0,0) with a warning written to the log file. Finally, the documentation has been revised with restored overview and contents sections, an expanded description of the vector class, and corrections to the example on Soddy circles. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
