tkz-euclide — for euclidean geometry
Release 4.051 b 2022/02/25
Description
tkz-euclide
is a package (latex) which allows you to draw two-dimensional geometric figures, in other words to create figures of Euclidean geometry. It uses a Cartesian coordinate system orthogonormal (unit 1cm) as well as tools to define the unique coordinates of points and to manipulate them. The idea is to allow you to follow step by step a construction that would be done by hand as naturally as possible.
Licence
This package may be modified and distributed under the terms and conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, version 1.3 or greater.
Requirements
The package compiles with utf8, pdflatex and lualatex, loads and depends on updated versions of:
Installation
The package tkz-euclide
is present in TeXLive and MiKTeX, use the package manager to install.
You can experiment with the tkz-euclide
package by placing all of the distribution files in the directory containing your current tex file.
The different files must be moved into the different directories in your installation TDS
tree or in your TEXMFHOME
:
How to use it
To use the package tkz-euclide
, place the following lines in the preamble of your LaTeX document:
\usepackage{tkz-euclide} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}
your code
\end{tikzpicture}
The line \usetkzobj{all}
is no longer required with tkz-euclide
but you can use it with other packages.
If you use the xcolor
package, load that package before tkz-euclide
to avoid package conflicts.
Documentation
Documentation for tkz-euclide
is available on CTAN
.
Examples
All examples given in documentation will be stored on my site : http://altermundus.fr as standalone files, ready for compilation.
Other examples, in French, are on my site.
Compatibility
The new version of tkz-euclide
is not fully compatible with the version 3.06 but the differences are minor.
History
- 4.051b Fixed a problem when tkz-base is loaded.
- 4.05b tkzInterLC new option near new method to choice the points tkzInterCC new method to choice the points tkzDefTangent add method to choice the points tkzTestInterLC and iftkzFlagLC tkzTestInterLC and iftkzFlagCC
\tkzDefHarmonic option ext int both then node or R \tkzDefGoldenRatio new macro \tkzSwapPoints Exchange two points \tkzPermute Permutation of two points of a triangle \tkzDefPointsBy option rotation with nodes no need to know the angle \tkzMarkArc and \tkzLabelArc \tkzDefPointOnCircle[angle=30,center=K1,radius=\rAp] becomes \tkzDefPointOnCircle[R= angle 30 center K1 radius \rAp] Added \tkzDefPointOnCircle[through= angle 30 center K1 point \rAp] Added some styles to place arrow "tkz arrow" and "tkz arrows" Added " line cap =round" and "line join =round" to all the constructions Added information about angles in the documentation
For the intersection of a line and a circle, the method is the same except that the angle is formed by a point on the line and the center of the circle.
- 4.01
tkzDefOrthogonalCircle was defined twice so I deleted the version in tkz-obj-eu-circles-by
In the tkz-obj-eu-draw-lines.tex new code for add dim from muzimuzhi Z. The code comes from an answer on the site tex.stackexchange.com
In the file tkz-obj-eu-draw-triangles.tex added options pythagoras and egyptian equivalent to pythagore euclid equivalent to euclide two one equivalent to half
Added option "swap" useful with golden, gold, school, half, pythagorasIn the file tkz-obj-eu-circles correction of bug in tkzDefOrthoThroughCircle : tkz@@CalcLength has been replaced by tkz@@CalcLengthcm
Addition of the macro tkzDefGoldenRatio in tkz-obj-eu-points-spc. It allows to split a segment with a ratio equal to the golden ratioMinor corrections of the documentation. New examples about option "dim"
- 4.00 correction of bugs, tkz-euclide no longer depends on tkz-base. The unit is "cm". The bounding box is controlled. The documentation has been restructured according to the rule: set, calculate, draw, mark and fill, label.
- 3.06 correction of bugs, amelioration of the documentation.
- 3.05 correction of bugs, amelioration of the documentation.
- 3.02 replacement french documentation by english documentation, correction of bugs.
- 3.01 replacement
