NAME

       carmetal — dynamic geometry software

SYNOPSIS

       carmetal [file.zir[z]]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the carmetal command.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does
       not have a manual page.

       carmetal is a dinamical geometry software written in Java. Ruler and compass constructions
       can  be changed by dragging one of the basic construction points. The construction follows
       immediately. The student can check the  correctness  of  the  construction  and  gain  new
       insight. Carmetal allow exercices generations (jobs) automaticly checked with html export,
       and  html diaporama generations.

       Arithmetic computations, numerical solutions, curves and  functions  go  beyond  classical
       constructions.  It  is  even  possible  to  construct  in  3D using advanced macros. Other
       geometries, hyperbolic or elliptic, can be explored.
