Alain Matthes submitted an update to the
tkz-elements
package.
Version number: 4.15c 2025-06-15
License type: lppl1.3
Summary description: A Lua library for drawing Euclidean geometry with TikZ or tkz-euclide
Announcement text:
- version 4.15c - Package additions and corrections: - `tkz_dc` has become `tkz.dc` since the previous version. A few occurrences of `tkz_dc` remained and have beenremoved. - Improved argument support in triangle methods: methods that previously used arg as the number of cyclic permutations of $(A,B,C)$ (selecting the first vertex) now also accept the vertex itself. (`bisector`, `altitude`, `ex-circle` etc.) This makes usage clearer and improves compatibility with other methods. - Added a function `tkz.is_direct` to find out whether an angle defined by three points is in the direct direction. - Added tkz.trisector which divides a sector into three identical sectors. The result is two points. - Added a new method for the triangle class: mediator, to obtain the bisector of the side opposite the chosen vertex. This method existed for a straight line (segment). - Documentation - Changes to reflect new developments. - Example added: Morley triangle in Examples.

tkz-elements – A Lua library for drawing Euclidean geometry with TikZ or tkz-euclide
This package provides a library written in Lua, allowing to make all the necessary calculations to define the objects of a Euclidean geometry figure. You need to compile with LuaLaTeX. The definitions and calculations are only done with Lua.
The main possibility of programmation proposed is oriented “object programming” with object classes like point, line, triangle, circle and now, conic. For the moment, once the calculations are done, it is tkz-euclide or TikZ which allows the drawings.
