Description
The package tkz-base
provides some tools like a Cartesian (rectangular) coordinate system to other packages like tkz-euclide
or tkz-fct
. With this package, you can draw coordinate axis, grids, draw points, the principle is to specify the position of any point in two-dimensional space by an unique couple of coordinates.

Installation
The package tkz-base
is present in TeXLive
and MiKTeX
, use the package manager to install.
You can experiment with the tkz-base
package by placing all of the distribution files in the directory containing your current tex file.
For manual instalation all files must be moved into the different directories in your installation TDS
tree or in your TEXMFHOME
:
doc/TKZdoc-base.pdf -> TDS:doc/latex/tkz-doc/TKZdoc-base.pdf doc/examples/*.* -> TDS:doc/latex/tkz-doc/examples/*.* doc/sourcedoc/*.* -> TDS:doc/latex/tkz-doc/sourcedoc/*.* code/*.* -> TDS:tex/latex/tkz-doc/*.*
How to use it
To use the package tkz-base
, place the following lines in the preamble of your LaTeX document.
\usepackage{tkz-base}
The line \usepackage{tkz-base}
loads TikZ. The line \usetkzobj{all}
loads all objects used by tkz-euclide
. With \usepackage{tkz-euclide}
you don't need to use \usetkzobj
To avoid package conflicts, you need to load xcolor
before TikZ
or tkz-base
or tkz-euclide
.
