Version: 4.25c
License: lppl1.3c
Summary description: A Lua library for drawing Euclidean geometry with TikZ or tkz-euclide
Announcement text:
Added path: get_point, iter(). tkz-elements.sty: three macros \tkzGetPointFromPath(#1,#2){#3}; \tkzPathCount(#1){#2}; \tkzDrawFromPointToPath. tkz: Function tkz.parabola(a, b, c) to obtain the quadratic form whose graph passes through the three points a, b, and c (under certain conditions). Changed Source structure: Removed version numbers and dates from each tkz_elements_xxx.lua file. The official version and release date are now maintained only in: tkz-elements.sty (for LaTeX users), README.md, CHANGELOG.md, doc/tkz-elements.pdf. occs: The coordinates method now returns numbers instead of strings (removed checknumber_). path: Improved get_number_path method. Docs Renamed several examples: the old names were more explicit. After Overview, added three navigation tables (attributes, methods, metamethods) for each class. All elements should now be listed, with links to their definitions and, where relevant, to examples. Rewrote the section on path. Added in Theorems: Circle–Point Midpoint Theorem. Added documentation for the new macros of tkz-elements.sty. Added in Examples: Construction of the midcircle of two disjoint circles.

tkz-elements – A Lua library for drawing Euclidean geometry with TikZ or tkz-euclide
This package provides a library written in Lua, allowing to make all the necessary calculations to define the objects of a Euclidean geometry figure. You need to compile with LuaLaTeX. The definitions and calculations are only done with Lua.
The main possibility of programmation proposed is oriented “object programming” with object classes like point, line, triangle, circle and now, conic. For the moment, once the calculations are done, it is tkz-euclide or TikZ which allows the drawings.
