Kig is a software tool designed to facilitate the exploration of geometric constructions. Its user-friendly interface allows users to quickly create, modify, and analyze shapes and figures, making it an ideal tool for students and professionals in the field of mathematics and engineering.
Kig is a fantastic program that has been created specifically for exploring geometric constructions. It is positioned as a superior alternative to other free programs like KGeo, KSeg and Dr. Geo, as well as commercial programs such as Cabri. Kig is free software that offers users the flexibility to use, improve, distribute and even sell it without seeking the author's permission. The only requirement is that users should pass on these rights when distributing Kig.
This application has been designed to be an indispensable and powerful utility for high school students and teachers, as well as a fun project for the development team. In the latest release of Kig, there are several exciting new features available. Firstly, an improved property system that can support cases like the dynamical change of objects, maintaining the same property. Secondly, the Numeric Label, which is a particular label that can only hold a number, has been introduced.
There are also several other new objects available in Kig, such as Point by Numeric Labels (as coordinates), Conic arc by Center and Three Points, Conic arc by Five Points, Vertical Cubic by Four Points, and more. The Python interface has been extended to return a Numeric Label in cases where a numeric value is calculated by a script. The program is now also able to read (partially) the files of Cabri v1.2, and the compatibility with Cabri v1.0 is slightly improved too.
Kig has many features that make it user-friendly, such as the ability to freely choose the font of text and numeric labels. Thanks to the Numeric Label, the Dr.Geo and KSeg input filters can now import a bit more objects. Additionally, the XFig exporter can export polygons. There is basic support for polygons in the Python interface too, making this a comprehensive geometric construction application. Lastly, there is a new test: object existence, to ensure the integrity of the application. Overall, Kig is an excellent application, and the latest release confirms its status as a must-have utility for math students and teachers alike.
