SYNOPSIS

eukleides [OPTION...] FILE

DESCRIPTION

Eukleides is a computer language devoted to elementary plane geometry. It aims to be a fairly comprehensive system to create geometric figures, either static or dynamic. It allows one to handle geometric types of data like points, vectors, lines, circles, or conics.

The eukleides program is useful to convert Eukleides scripts into Encapsulated PostScript files. It may also interpret scripts using interactive variables to multi-page PostScript documents which can later be transformed into animated GIFs using for instance ImageMagick's convert(1).

-o, --output[=OUTPUTFILE]

Set an output file name. With no argument given, the output stream is set to standard output.

-#, --interactive=STRING
