Dear Colleagues,
my son is doing elementary geometry (compasses and straightedge/ruler) at
school. To get a nice drawing of a construction I determine the analytical
solutions for the points of intersection or radii and I draw lines and
circles using Show[Graphics[{...}]]. That is tiresome and he loses interest
whilst I run out of patience, and even the most rudimentary "general"
programme I could contrive would not be ready before the subject is over in
class.
Hence: Is there a readily manageable utility or technique you know of to
produce clean construction drawings?
Best regards,
Matthias Bode
