Introduction to KeTCindy - Producing of Teaching Materials with Drawings Using KeTCindy

1. KeTCindy=KeTpic+Cinderella

　Since 2006, we have been developed a tool "KeTpic" to put drawings into a TeX document. KeTpic is a mathematical software package, and using KeTpic, you can be put easily the exact drawings into a TeX document. However, because the GUI (Graphical User Interface) was insufficient, we could not say KeTpic is easy to use for beginners.
　On the other hand, Cinderella is one of the dynamic geometry software. While watching the screen, also while moving the point, it has the great advantage of creating a drawing as we expect.
　A developer U.Kortenkamp of Cinderella came to Japan in 2014, the collaboration of KeTpic and Cinderella started and KeTCindy was born. KeTCindy became easier to use much than KeTpic by adding a GUI to KeTpic.

2. The Flow of a Drawing

(1) Launch the Cinderella by double-clicking a sample file in the KeTCindy folder.
(2) Produce a drawing by using Cinderella screen (geometric figures) and CindyScript (input commands).
(3) When you press the Texview button in Cinderella screen, you can obtain the Scilab source file and the main TeX file which confirms TeX.
(4) kc.sh (.bat) is obtained to a series of processing of the following at the same time.

• Runs the Scilab source file and obtain a figure TeX file.
• Compile the main TeX file and obtain a PDF file with a drawing.
• PDF Viewer displays the PDF file.

(5) When you press the Exekc button, you can run the kc.sh (.bat) and the PDF file is displayed automatically.
