✨ EUKTOPDF(1) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Eukleides Manual, bestie — and it's about euktopdf, the little script that turns your Eukleides stuff into PDFs 🎀 buckle up, it's short but it's iconic

💖 NAME 💖

euktopdf — Eukleides to PDF converter 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

euktopdf FILE

like. that's it. one argument. she's low maintenance, she's efficient, we love her 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So first things first, bestie: Eukleides is a whole computer language devoted to elementary plane geometry 🧚 like, it's literally a language for drawing geometry. And not just any little doodle situation — it aims to be a fairly comprehensive system for creating geometric figures, whether they're static or dynamic 🌈

And it lets you handle geometric types of data — and when we say geometric types, we mean the good stuff: points, vectors, lines, circles, or conics 👑

Now the actual star of this page: the euktopdf script 💖

Here's the tea. When you run pdflatex(1) on a LaTeX document that contains Eukleides figures, LaTeX generates some auxiliary Eukleides files. And euktopdf? She's the one who takes those auxiliary Eukleides files and converts them into auxiliary PDF files ✨ slay.

And the argument you hand her? It's the LaTeX source name 🎀 that's the whole vibe check. that's what she wants from you.

ngl the mental model is: LaTeX does its thing → auxiliary Eukleides files appear → euktopdf does her thing → auxiliary PDFs appear → everyone eats 🍓
