See the Objects + menu... +- Macros: the power of constructing new objects using the builtin + ones. If you want to try, open macrotest.kig, then click the + button to the left of the fullscreen button, select the three + corners of the triangle, then click the button again, click the + circle, click the button again, type in a name. Then check out the + new type with the other circle types. You can't really see the + difference between built-in types and macro's +- I've given quite some attention to making Kig as intuitive to use as + possible. It has various unique features like the nice RMB menu's, + the intuitive construction mode, etc. +- is a KPart: try opening macrotest.kig from konqueror, if it doesn't + work yet, open your kcontrol, then go to "File Browsing"->"File + Associations", click add, group:"application", name:"x-kig", open + the "embedding" tab page for the new type, click "add", find + "KigPart" (if you installed Kig correctly (did you get the + "--prefix" on your configure right?) , it should be there), and add + it. then try opening macrotest.kig again +- Kig supports various file formats... See the filters directory. + Currently Kig has read-write support for native files ( which is an + imho clean xml format ) and for the older version of the Kig file + format; read support for KGeo, KSeg and, partially, for Dr. Geo + and Cabri files. This is an area where we plan working on... +- Kig can export a document in several formats: the most common are + images, and you can choose among the types supported by Qt and KDE. + Moreover, the other supported formats are: XFig files, and SVG and + LaTeX documents. These are useful since not all other programs + support Kig files yet... ;) +- Kig is very compatible with the program it was intended to replace, + KGeo. It supports all of its Object types and most of its file + format... +- There is a very flexible mechanism for supporting TextLabels with + variable parts.. Check out the text label wizard for more + explanation... +- nice support for Locuses, inspired by KSeg's version of this. Check + the documentation and examples/locustest.kig for more info.. +- flexible transformation facility + +PLANNED FEATURES +For a list of planned features, check out the TODO file. |
