+FEATURES
+here are some nice Kig features i'd like to show off :)
+- More than 40 various nice objects: from the easiest ones ( points ),
+ up to lines, circles, conics, cubics, and more. See the Objects
+ menu...
+- Macros: the power of constructing new objects using the builtin
+ ones. If you want to try, open macrotest.kig, then click the
+ button to the left of the fullscreen button, select the three
+ corners of the triangle, then click the button again, click the
+ circle, click the button again, type in a name. Then check out the
+ new type with the other circle types. You can't really see the
+ difference between built-in types and macro's
+- I've given quite some attention to making Kig as intuitive to use as
+ possible. It has various unique features like the nice RMB menu's,
+ the intuitive construction mode, etc.
+- is a KPart: try opening macrotest.kig from konqueror, if it doesn't
+ work yet, open your kcontrol, then go to "File Browsing"->"File
+ Associations", click add, group:"application", name:"x-kig", open
+ the "embedding" tab page for the new type, click "add", find
+ "KigPart" (if you installed Kig correctly (did you get the
+ "--prefix" on your configure right?) , it should be there), and add
+ it. then try opening macrotest.kig again
+- Kig supports various file formats... See the filters directory.
+ Currently Kig has read-write support for native files ( which is an
+ imho clean xml format ) and for the older version of the Kig file
+ format; read support for KGeo, KSeg and, partially, for Dr. Geo
+ and Cabri files. This is an area where we plan working on...
+- Kig can export a document in several formats: the most common are
+ images, and you can choose among the types supported by Qt and KDE.
+ Moreover, the other supported formats are: XFig files, and SVG and
+ LaTeX documents. These are useful since not all other programs
+ support Kig files yet... ;)
+- Kig is very compatible with the program it was intended to replace,
+ KGeo. It supports all of its Object types and most of its file
+ format...
+- There is a very flexible mechanism for supporting TextLabels with
+ variable parts.. Check out the text label wizard for more
+ explanation...
+- nice support for Locuses, inspired by KSeg's version of this. Check
+ the documentation and examples/locustest.kig for more info..
+- flexible transformation facility
