package.

Summary description: A Lua library for drawing Euclidean geometry with TikZ or tkz-euclide
Announcement text:
Changed - triangle - Changed the order of returned points for `reflections` and `projections`: (1 → pa, 2 → pb, 3 → pc). - Added methods returning directly the vertices of special triangles: - `orthic_points()` - `medial_points()` - `tangential_points()` - circle - Modification of the `point` method. Added an optional point parameter to specify the reference point on the circle. Documentation - Reorganized the method descriptions in the **point** class, especially for utility methods and the `rotation` method. - Fixed an incorrect example of the `PPP` method in the **point** class. - Section 16.4.1 (Parabola construction): corrected `bisector of angle HMF` (instead of `angle HFT`). - Section 7.3 (Use of Trilinear Coordinates): corrected `projection` → `projections` in the code. Thanks to :SwiftWu for these remarks. - Added documentation for the `print` method.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/tkz-elements The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/tkz/tkz-elements/

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 programming 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.
