Eukleides is a software tool for creating geometric drawings using Euclidean geometry.
If you're looking for a precise and efficient program to create Euclidean geometry drawings and figures, look no further than Eukleides. This software is made up of two separate programs: eukleides and xeukleides. The former is a compiler specifically designed to allow you to easily typeset geometric figures within a (La)TeX document, and it's even possible to convert those figures into several vector graphics formats. Xeukleides, on the other hand, is a graphical user interface that allows you to create interactive geometric figures with ease.
One of the standout features of Eukleides is that it has been specifically built to be as close as possible to the traditional language of elementary Euclidean geometry. This means that you can often create complex figures without ever needing to resort to using Cartesian coordinates, which can save you a great deal of time and hassle. To get a better idea of how Eukleides works, be sure to check out some of the included samples.
As for system requirements, both eukleides and xeukleides have been developed on a GNU/Linux system but should work on any system where flex, bison, and GTK+ 1.2 (for xeukleides) have been ported. Additionally, you will also need makeinfo to format the documentation file and/or Texinfo to get a hardcopy. If you want to obtain printable files after running eukleides, the PSTricks package is mandatory, and you'll also need pstoedit if you want to run the shell script euk2edit. Overall, if you're in need of a reliable and powerful Euclidean geometry drawing language, Eukleides is definitely worth a closer look.
