# euktoeps(1)

Eukleides to Encapsulated PostScript converter

## NAME

euktoeps - Eukleides to Encapsulated PostScript converter

## SYNOPSIS

**euktoeps** \[*OPTION*...\] *FILE*

## DESCRIPTION

Eukleides is a computer language devoted to elementary plane geometry. It aims to be a fairly comprehensive system to create geometric figures, either static or dynamic. It allows one to handle geometric types of data like points, vectors, lines, circles, or conics.

The **euktoeps** script is useful to convert Eukleides scripts into Encapsulated PostScript figures. It runs the [**euktopst**(1)](/euktopst/1.md) interpreter, then adds appropriate preamble and ending to the resulting code, last runs [**latex**(1)](/latex/1.md) and [**dvips**(1)](/dvips/1.md). Hence, it is an alternative to the [**eukleides**(1)](/eukleides/1.md) program when mathematics typesetting is required.

## OPTIONS

- **-i**, **--include**=*STRING*

  Include LaTeX directives in preamble.

- **-l**, **--locale**\[=*LANG*\]

  Use localized keywords. With no argument given, the current locale is set to the value of the LANG environment variable. Otherwise *LANG* has to be a valid locale identifier, e.g. 'fr\_FR' or 'fr\_FR.utf8', depending on the default charmap.  This feature may be disabled.

- **-#**, **--interactive**=*STRING*

  Modify interactive variables.

- **-d**, **--data**=*DATAFILE*

  Use *DATAFILE* for input. This option is essential when using input functions, since [**euktopst**(1)](/euktopst/1.md) is run in batch mode.

- **-v**, **--version**

  Print version number and exit.

- **-h**, **--help**

  Print immediate help and exit.
