You may also be interested in kig, which is already in ubuntu, and is
freely redistributable (no java dependencies):
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ apt-cache show kig | grep ^\
Kig is an application for interactive geometry. It is intended to serve
two purposes:
.
- to allow students to interactively explore mathematical figures and
concepts using the computer;
- to serve as a WYSIWYG tool for drawing mathematical figures and
including them in other documents.
.
With this program you can do geometry on a computer just like you would
on a blackboard in a classroom. However, the program allows you to move
and change parts of a geometrical drawing so that you can see how the other
parts change as a result.
.
Kig supports loci and user-defined macros. It also supports imports
and exports to/from foreign file formats including Cabri, Dr. Geo, KGeo,
KSeg and XFig.
.
This package is part of the official KDE edutainment module.
