<p>One of the most powerful tools in Kig are the menus that you can enter by right-clicking on an object, or on some empty space in the document. You can use them to give objects names, change their colors and line styles, and lots of other interesting things.</p>

<p>You can construct new points without using the menu or the toolbar, simply clicking somewhere on the Kig document with the <em>middle mouse button</em>.</p>

<p>Kig can open several file formats: its files (<code>.kig</code> files), <em>KGeo</em> files, <em>KSeg</em> files, and, partially, <em>Dr. Geo</em> and <em>Cabri&#8482;</em> files.</p>

<p>You can use the selected objects to start the construction of an object which requires the selected objects as arguments. For example, if you have two points selected, you can choose <em>Start->Circle by Three Points</em> from the popup menu to start constructing a circle by three points.</p>

<p>If you have more than one object under the mouse, and you want to select any of them, you can click with the <em>left mouse button</em>, while holding the <em>Shift</em> key, to get a list of the objects under the mouse cursor which you can then select from.</p>

Other Objects

Here you can edit the description of the current macro type. This field is optional, so you can also leave this empty: if you do so, then your macro type will have no description.

Given Objects

Select the "given" objects for your new macro and press "Next".

Final Object

Select the final object(s) for your new macro.

Enter a name and description for your new type.

Enter the text for your label here and press "Next". If you want to show variable parts, then put %1, %2, ... at the appropriate places (e.g. "This segment is %1 units long.").

Show text in a frame

Now select the argument(s) you need. For every argument, click on it, select an object and a property in the Kig window, and click finish when you are done...

Edit the selected type.

Circle by Center && Line

A circle constructed by its center and tangent to a given line

Construct a circle tangent to this line

Construct a circle with this center

Select the line that the new circle should be tangent to...

Circle by Point && Segment (as the Diameter)

A circle defined by its center and the length of a segment as the diameter

Construct a circle with the diameter given by the length of this segment

Select the segment whose length gives the diameter of the new circle...

Osculating circle of a curve at a point

Osculating circle at this point

The perpendicular line through a given segment's mid point.

Square with two given adjacent vertices

Construct the vector difference of this vector and another one.

Construct the vector difference of the other vector and this one.

Original author, long time maintainer, design and lots of code.

Did a lot of important work all around Kig, including, but not limited to conics, cubics, transformations and property tests support.

Actual maintainer, Dr. Geo import filter, point and line styles, Italian translation, miscellaneous stuff here and there.

Helped a lot with the implementation of the Locus object, there's quite some math involved in doing it right, and Franco wrote the most difficult parts.

The French translator, who also sent me some useful feedback, like feature requests and bug reports.

Domi's brother, who he got to write the algorithm for calculating the center of the circle with three points given.

Sent me a patch for some bugs.

Responsible for the nice application SVG Icon.

Responsible for the new object action icons.

This is an XFig file, not a Cabri figure.

This Cabri file contains a "%1" object, which Kig does not currently support.

This Dr. Geo file contains a "%1 %2" object, which Kig does not currently support.
