## DESCRIPTION

**circlepack** is designed for easy creation, manipulation, display, printing, and storage of "circle packings". Perhaps the best introduction to the package, after installation, is to run one of the prepared "\<script\>.cmd" files which have been included with this distribution. These can be found in /usr/share/doc/circlepack/examples. For instance, copy /usr/share/doc/circlepack/examples/demo.cmd.gz to some directory, gunzip it, and enter "circlepack demo.cmd". Then repeatedly hit the "Execute Next Command" button.

For further information see the documents in /usr/share/doc/circlepack. An online version of the documentation is also available.
