💖 EUKTOPST(1) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Eukleides Manual — this is the page for euktopst, and yes it's giving very niche but honestly? iconic. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

euktopst — the Eukleides interpreter that turns your scripts into PSTricks. that's it, that's the whole job. no cap. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

euktopst [OPTION...] FILE

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so Eukleides is a whole computer language dedicated to elementary plane geometry, and honestly the way that it just does that?? it's lowkey trying to be a fairly comprehensive system for making geometric figures, whether they're static or dynamic. it handles all the geometric data types you'd want: points, vectors, lines, circles, or conics. like, the full set, fr fr. ⭐

and euktopst? it interprets Eukleides scripts into PSTricks figures. it's mostly a backstage queen — the scripts euktoeps(1), euktotex(1), and euktopdf(1) are the ones calling it, and then they go run latex(1) and other utilities to produce all the various types of output. so euktopst is the main character who doesn't need the spotlight, iykyk. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -l, --locale[=LANG] — use localized keywords ✨. give it no argument and the current locale just gets set to whatever the LANG environment variable says. otherwise LANG has to be a valid locale identifier, like 'fr_FR' or 'fr_FR.utf8' — which one depends on your default charmap. also heads up: this feature may be disabled. 🙈
• -o, --output[=OUTPUTFILE] — set the output file name 📝. with no argument given, the output stream goes to standard output instead.
• -#, --interactive=STRING — modify interactive variables. that's the vibe. 🎀
• -a, --animate=STRING — animate an interactive script 🦋. motion, bestie!
• -b, --batchmode[=DATAFILE] — don't stop for input 🚫✋. if you pass it a DATAFILE, it uses that instead of standard input.
• -v, --version — print the version number and dip. exit. bye. 👋
• -h, --help — print immediate help and exit 🆘. the "help me right now" button.
