+
+    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 to handle basic
+types of data: numbers and strings, as well as geometric types of data:
+points, vectors, sets (of points), lines, circles, and conics.
+
+    A Eukleides script usually consists in a declarative part where
+objects are defined, and a descriptive part where objects are drawn.
+Nonetheless, Eukleides is also a full featured programming language,
+providing conditional and iterative structures, user defined functions,
+modules, etc. Hence, it can easily be extended. A quick start page and
+some code samples are available on-line (www.eukleides.org), in addition
+to the Eukleides Reference Manual which is maintained as a Texinfo
+manual.
+
+    The Eukleides distribution provides two distinct interpreters:
+'eukleides' and 'euktopst,' and three shell scripts: 'euktoeps',
+'euktotex', and 'euktopdf'. The former interpreter produces Encapsulated
+PostScript (EPS). The later, which is run by the scripts, produces
+TeXable PSTricks macros. The 'euktoeps' script is an alternative to
+'eukleides' when mathematics typesetting is required. The two other
+scripts are useful when using Eukleides together with LaTeX (see section
+6.2 in Eukleides Reference Manual).

+option) any later version. Eukleides was developed on a Debian GNU/Linux
+platform, hence it should build on most of the recent Unices, provided
+some common tools are installed. For instance, when using a Debian based
+distribution, you may need to install the following packages: flex,
+bison, libreadline-dev, texinfo.
