Abstract

tkz-euclide is a set of convenient macros for drawing figures in the plane with a Cartesian coordinate system. It handles the most classic situations of Euclidean geometry. It is built on top of PGF and its front end TikZ, and lets you construct figures step by step, as closely as possible to a construction made by hand.
