Lets use this wiki entry tu discuss future plans for Kig. From the discussion here, we can create a feature list for KDE 4.9 and start working on that. Some of the ideas that have been collected so far are:

  • Add support for hyperbolic geometries, but this is a large topic and would take a good amount of work. Here is some work on building an asymptote package for drawing in the Poincare disk.
  • More work on Asy and Tikz/PGF exporters, fixing bugs and fill out the remaining holes.
  • Improve XFig exporter, at present it does not support loci, generic conics and cubics
  • More flexible grids. We do not have any export options for polar grids. Maybe make grids more like the geometric objects.
  • Allow the user some control over drawing precision (specifically when drawing loci) and/or when exporting to files that do not directly support all geometric objects (e.g. XFig).
  • Review edge cases in file parsing
  • Review bugs in windows
  • Check this KFormula integration request, interesting
  • Implement a CAS backend for coordinates in Kig, maybe GiNaC?
