KIG(1)

💖 KIG(1) — the interactive geometry one 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for kig, straight out of the KDE User's Manual section of the man pages. it's giving geometry class but make it ✨fun✨. let's go 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

kig — an interactive geometry program by KDE 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

kig [-c, --convert-to-native [-o, --outfile filename]] [options]

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Kig is an application for interactive geometry. it's literally built to do two (2) whole jobs and it does both:

• it lets students interactively explore mathematical figures and concepts using the computer 🧮✨
• it's also a WYSIWYG tool for drawing mathematical figures and dropping them into other documents 📄💖

so with this program you can do geometry on a computer exactly like you'd do it on a blackboard in a classroom. BUT — and this is the iconic part — the program lets you move and change parts of a geometrical drawing, so you can watch how the other parts change as a result. main character behaviour fr fr 👑

Kig supports loci and user-defined macros. it also imports and exports both to and from foreign file formats, including Cabri, Dr. Geo, KGeo, KSeg and XFig. 🌈

this application is part of the official KDE edutainment module. periodt. 🎓

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -c, --convert-to-native — no GUI, bestie. instead it converts the specified file to native Kig format. the native Kig file gets written to standard output unless you pass --outfile. 🔥
• -o, --outfile filename — used together with --convert-to-native to say where to save the newly created Kig file. not specifying this option, or giving a filename of -, will output the file to standard output. 💾✨
