EUKLEIDES(1)

NAME
eukleides - a Euclidean geometry drawing language compiler.

SYNOPSIS
eukleides [ -v | -h ]
eukleides [ -f ] filename
euk2eps filename
euk2edit filename format

DESCRIPTION
The language Eukleides provides simple and powerful commands for creating elementary Euclidean geometry figures. The compiler eukleides translates a source file written in this specific language into TeX (pstricks) macro-commands. The result is sent to standard output.
The shell script euk2eps creates an EPS file from an Eukleides source file. It calls eukleides, tex, dvips and removes the intermediate files. The shell script euk2edit converts an Eukleides source file into various vector graphic formats. It calls euk2eps, eps2pdf, pstoedit and removes the intermediate files. To know the available formats, run pstoedit --help.

  Options

-v  Print version number.

-h  Print immediate help.

-f  Run as a filter, in order to compile figures embedded in a TeX source file. In this case, they have to begin with `%--eukleides' and end with `%--stop' or `%--end'. The `%--stop' ending tag tells eukleides to keep variables in memory for further use. With the `%--end' tag, variables are cleared.
