byrne – Typeset geometric proofs in the style of Oliver Byrne’s 1847 edition of Euclid’s “Elements”
This package is a LaTeX adaptation of a set of tools developed for ConTeXt reproduction of Oliver Byrne’s 1847 edition of the first six books of Euclid’s “Elements”. It consists of a METAPOST library, responsible for all the drawing, and a set of LaTeX macros to conveniently use them.
This package works with LuaLaTeX and relies on luamplib v2.23.0 or higher.
