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.
