NAME
euktopst - Eukleides interpreter to PSTricks SYNOPSIS
euktopst [OPTION...] FILE DESCRIPTION
Eukleides is a computer language devoted to elementary plane geometry. It aims to be a fairly comprehensive system to create geometric figures, either static or dynamic. It allows to handle geometric types of data like points, vectors, lines, circles, or conics. The euktopst program interprets Eukleides scripts into PSTricks figures. This program is mainly used by the scripts euktoeps(1), eukto- tex(1), and euktopdf(1) which then run latex(1) and other utilities to produce various types of output. OPTIONS
-l, --locale[=LANG] Use localized keywords. With no argument given, the current locale is set to the value of the LANG environment variable. Otherwise LANG has to be a valid locale identifier, e.g. 'fr_FR' or 'fr_FR.utf8', depending on the default charmap. This feature may be dis- abled. -o, --output[=OUTPUTFILE] Set an output file name. With no argument given, the output stream is set to standard output. -#, --interactive=STRING Modify interactive variables. -a, --animate=STRING Animate interactive script. -b, --batchmode[=DATAFILE] Don't stop for input. If given, use DATAFILE instead of standard input. -v, --version Print version number and exit. -h, --help Print immediate help and exit. AUTHOR
