News, compatibility and options

53 News and compatibility¶

53.1 With version 5.14¶

This version only corrects bugs; the syntax does not change and no macro has been added.

• \tkzDefCircle with the options orthogonal from or orthogonal through no longer disturbs the following calls of \tkzDefCircle.

• The options of the following macros now only apply to the current call: \tkzShowLine, \tkzDefSimilitudeCenter, \tkzCalcLength, \tkzGrid, \tkzClip, \tkzDefEquiPoints, \tkzLegend.

• \tkzIsLinear gave a wrong answer (always true); \tkzIsLinear and \tkzIsOrtho now use a tolerance that depends on the lengths.

• The result of \tkzPowerCircle no longer changes after another calculation.

• The inversion of a circle (\tkzDefCircleBy) gives a line only if the circle passes through the center of inversion.

• \tkzDefCircle[spieker] gives the radius in cm, like the other options.

• The Feuerbach point and the Feuerbach triangle, obtained with the option feuerbach of \tkzDefTriangleCenter and \tkzDefSpcTriangle, are now exact.

• \tkzDrawPolySeg: the arrow at the start of the path has the right direction.

• \tkzCompass accepts a decimal value for delta; \tkzProtractor[return] works; \tkzLabelRegPolygon uses its option sep; \tkzDrawX uses its option step.

• The old syntax of version 3, for example \tkzDrawCircle[euler](A,B,C), now gives an error message instead of an endless compilation.

• The aliases \tkzDefNinePointsCircle, \tkzFeuerBachCircle and \tkzIncentralTriangle work again.

Two changes may modify your figures:

• \tkzSetUpCompass[delta=...] only acts on the compass marks. To extend the arcs drawn by \tkzDrawArc, \tkzMarkArc and \tkzLabelArc, use \tkzSetUpArc[delta=...]. Before this version, the same value was used for both.

• The TikZ style help lines is no longer modified by the package.

53.2 With version 5.10¶

• Added a French documentation.

• Added the mini option. You can use this option with the tkz-elements package. Only the modules required for drawing will be loaded. This option is currently only useful if you are using tkz-elements.

53.3 From version 3 to version 5¶

tkz-euclide 4 was a simplified version of its predecessor, independent of tkz-base. Most macros of tkz-euclide 3 have been retained, but the special circles are now defined with \tkzDefCircle and then drawn with \tkzDrawCircle. The unit is now the cm. If you need some macros from tkz-base, you may need to use \tkzInit.

Version 5 does not change anything for the user. With the option lua (\usepackage[lua]{tkz-euclide}), the calculations are done by Lua: you must then compile with LuaLaTeX. See section 54.
