Summary description: A Lua library for drawing Euclidean geometry with TikZ or tkz-euclide
Announcement text:
[2026/01/22 — version 4.45c] Changed In tkz-elements.sty - Replaced `luatexluaescapestring` with `luaescapestring`. In line - Simplification of the method `LLL` In the documentation - Corrected the example related to the radical center. - Improved the documentation of the `radical center` and the `radical circle`. - Added clarifications concerning the `mini` option of `tkz-euclide`, in particular its interaction with the `\tkzCompass` macro and the `show` option. - Removed several sections (`examples`, `theorems`, and `apollonius`) in order to streamline the documentation. These materials are now gathered in a separate document entitled *Euclidean Geometry*, available on my website: `https://altermundus.fr`. - Correction of Archimedes Spiral example.
This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/tkz/tkz-elements More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/tkz-elements
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Manfred Lotz CTAN is run entirely by volunteers and supported by TeX user groups. Please join a user group or donate to one, see https://ctan.org/lugs .

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.
