Call for contributions...

[Laurent Gauthier <Laurent.Gauthier@alcatel.fr>]

Hi all,

If you have been using Dr. Genius to create geometric figures, then I'm
interested in your contributions.  I would like to collect figures to
help us test thoroughly the new geometric engine Hilaire has been working
on.  The more sophisticated your figure is the best it is.

This will help us to build an extensive test suite, help us to improve
the quality of the tool, and also this will be used to demonstrate the
capabilities of Dr. Genius.

As an example here's what I've been working on lately:

  I've been working on figures to test the "Locus" feature, and more
  precisely constructing various conics as geometric locus.  I've
  constructed four figures that are showing:

     A circle as a locus.
     A parabola as a locus.
     An hyperbola as a locus (well four locus are necessary actually...).
     An ellipsis as a locus (well two locus are necessary actually...).

You can send me your contributions in two ways:

 * A file saved from Dr. Genius with the figure in it (please specify
   the version of Dr. Genius you used to produce it).  See below there's
   a problem with the current CVS version of Dr. Genius.

or

 * A detailed step-by-step description of the figure you have built,
   so that I am able to reproduce it.

A comment on what geometric property the figure may be illustrating
is welcome.

If possible try to use the latest release of Dr. Genius from CVS, as this
is what I'm using most of the time.  For now there is a little problem
when saving a figure with the current CVS version, but I'm confident that
Hilaire will fix it soon, and will let us know.

Bye, and thanks in advance.
