Summary description: A Lua library for drawing Euclidean geometry with TikZ or
tkz-euclide
Announcement text:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release introduces several improvements to fundamental geometric objects,
expands the numerical utilities in the tkz module, adds new capabilities for
conics, and clarifies portions of the documentation.
It continues the consolidation of existing methods while providing new tools
for advanced geometric work.
Added
Points: New method length(p)
Allows distance evaluation using z.A:length(z.B), equivalent to
tkz.length(z.A, z.B).
Line: Improved methods: orthogonal_at, collinear_at
Both now behave more consistently in proportional constructions.
Circle:
New intuitive alias methods:
from_radius ≡ through
from_diameter ≡ diameter
Updated common_tangent with more coherent handling of special cases.
Triangle:
New method:
trilinear_to_d — converts trilinear coordinates into distances to the
sides (internally uses Heron’s formula).
tkz: A set of highly useful numerical tools has been added:
Generators and unit converters:
tkz.range, tkz.deg, tkz.rad, tkz.pt
Value checking: tkz.is_NaN, tkz.is_Inf, tkz.notDef
Numerical analysis:
tkz.fsolve(f, a, b, n [, opts]) — simple root finder
tkz.derivative(f, x0 [, accuracy]) — numerical derivative at a point
Conic
Added common_tangent for conics (currently implemented for ellipses).
Changed
Conic:
The path method for ellipses has been redesigned:
new modes: "swap", "ccw", "cw"
proper handling of cases where the endpoints are opposite.
Documentation:
Corrected usage of
\tkzDrawCoordinates[smooth] (instead of \tkzDrawCoordinatessmooth) in the
conic class.
Added several new examples for CCL.
