tkz-elements
package.
Version: 1.00b
License: lppl1.3
Summary description: A Lua library for drawing Euclidean geometry with TikZ or tkz-euclide
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here’s the first version of tkz-elements: a library written in Lua.
This library can be used to calculate the points of geometric figures
in the Euclidean plane. Combined with tkz-euclide or TikZ, it can
be used to precisely define the nodes that will be used to
construct the figures.
This version is a beta version and still under development, so I
advise you to use it now as a tool to discover the possibilities
offered by Lua combined with tkz-euclide.
If you’d like to contribute corrections or new ideas, please
don’t hesitate to contact me by e-mail.
Future developments will include matrix calculations, parabola and
hyperbola constructions solving equations and systems, syntax
corrections and more.
