<!-- Process this file with docbook-to-man to generate an nroff manual
     page: `docbook-to-man manpage.sgml > manpage.1'.  You may view
     the manual page with: `docbook-to-man manpage.sgml | nroff -man |

manpage.1: manpage.sgml

	The docbook-to-man binary is found in the docbook-to-man package.
	Please remember that if you create the nroff version in one of the
	debian/rules file targets (such as build), you will need to include
	docbook-to-man in your Build-Depends control field.

    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>

    <para>This manual page documents briefly the
      <command>&dhpackage;</command> command.</para>

    <para>This manual page was written for the &debian; distribution
      because the original program does not have a manual page.
      <!--Instead, it has documentation in the &gnu;
      <application>Info</application> format; see below.--></para>

    <para><command>&dhpackage;</command> is a dinamical geometry software 
written in Java. Ruler and compass constructions can be changed by dragging 
one of the basic construction points. The construction follows immediately. The 
 student can check the correctness of the construction and gain new 
 insight. Carmetal allow exercices generations (jobs) automaticly checked with html export, and  html diaporama generations. </para>
<para>Arithmetic computations, numerical solutions, curves and functions 
 go beyond classical constructions. It is even possible to construct in 3D 
 using advanced macros. Other geometries, hyperbolic or elliptic, can be explored.</para>
