GizmoWinDraw is a vector graphics program. Aside the fact itÆs a no cost application, itÆs interest not only come from the fact that the graphic objects are constitued of elements (points, segments, circles, ellipses and curves) which are easely modified with precision, but also from possibility to perform some operations with these elements such as intersections, bisection, link a segment with text or picture and many others features. Moreover itæs possible to combine (by saving or merging) these graphic objects in a same drawing, each objects being as an element from a library.
The final results are: or garphic pictures saved as bitmap (.bmp) or Jpeg (.jpg) or object saved as metafiles (.giz), these objects being resusable in others vector graphics.
GizmoWinDraw can be very usefull for people whoh need technical schema for their lectures, publications or presentations. The .bmp or .jpg files are easily inserted in a document like Microsoft Office«, OpenOffice« or LaTeXPdF (producing .pdf files for Adobe Acrobat Reader«).
GizmoWinDraw may be also usefull to teachers for giving a practical feeling in elementary geometry to their students. As a matter of fact, since GizmoWinDraw allows to easely draw with the mouse complicated geometrical constructions, this permit to students as well as teachers to be fried from borrowing drawing tasks. This possibilty gives a place to the hope that the intuition and the mathematical thinking could be combined with the plaisure to see things one thinks.
Finally, for presentations with a computer, GizmoDraw can produce animated schema because itÆs possible to assign a trajectory (on a segment, circle, ellipse or curve) at any point.
NB : GizmoWinDraw Version 1.2.5.2 is still a beta version. Murphy said there is always a last bugà
