PLATO: A Language for Geometric Illustrations
Boyko B. Bantchev · 2000
We present a descriptive language in which planimetric illustrations can be expressed. The language is suitable for specifying a wide class of figures that typically appear in textbooks on geometry. It is easy to use and the resulting specifications are small in volume and clear. An interpretive implementation of the language translates specifications into PostScript, and thus geometric figures can be reproduced independently or incorporated in a document in a number of document-processing environments.
