Dear all, If in addition to drawing figures in the Euclidean plane you also sometime want to draw on the sphere or in the conformal model of the hyperbolic plane, you may be interested in gfDraw. http://www.dgp.toronto.edu/~ghali/software/gfdraw/index.html gfDraw lets you draw points, lines, segments, polygons, and Bézier curves, split polygons, and compute convex hulls and Delaunay triangulations in H2, E2, and S2. You can use gfDraw to generate the initial drawing in H2 or S2 before finessing with Ipe: 1- Press the 'PDF' button to produce a PDF file. 2- Use 'pdftoipe' to generate the Ipe file. 3- Finish editing using Ipe. The main idea behind gfDraw is to develop geometric algorithms as only generic recipes. One then plugs in a geometry to produce concrete algorithms. gfDraw is currently supported on OS X and Qt 4.7.x-4.8.x. I hope you like it. Please send your feedback. Sherif
