KSEG is a Free (GPL) interactive geometry program for exploring Euclidean
|
|
geometry. It runs on Unix-based platforms (according to users, it also compiles
|
|
and runs on Mac OS X and should run on anything that Qt supports). You create a
|
|
construction, such as a triangle with a circumcenter, and then, as you drag
|
|
verteces of the triangle, you can see the circumcenter moving in real time. Of
|
|
course, you can do a lot more than that.
|
|
|
|
KSEG can be used in the classroom, for personal exploration of geometry, or for
|
|
making high-quality figures for LaTeX. It is very fast, stable, and the UI has
|
|
been designed for efficiency and consistency. I can usually make a construction
|
|
in KSEG in less than half the time it takes me to do it with similar programs.
|
|
Despite the name, it is Qt based and does not require KDE to run.
|
|
|
|
KSEG was inspired by the Geometer's Sketchpad, but it goes beyond the
|
|
functionality that Sketchpad provides.
