It supports +making small figures for inclusion into LaTeX-documents as well as +making multi-page PDF presentations. + +Ipe's main features are: +* Entry of text as LaTeX source code. This makes it easy to enter + mathematical expressions, and to reuse the LaTeX-macros of the main + document. In the display text is displayed as it will appear in the + figure. +* Produces pure PDF, including the text. Ipe converts the LaTeX-source + to PDF when the file is saved. +* It is easy to align objects with respect to each other (for instance, + to place a point on the intersection of two lines, or to draw a circle + through three given points) using various snapping modes. +* Users can provide ipelets (Ipe plug-ins) to add functionality to Ipe. + This way, Ipe can be extended for each task at hand. |
