The most appropriate way *would be* to use the measure transport, but
that right now works only to transport the measure of a segmente on a
circle :-(

However you can just:

- build a circle centered at M with radius given by the length of AB
(circle by center and radius)
- intersect the circle with the line l1
- select the right intersection point.

    This is almost natural since the cd was mainly oriented
     to spanish, french, english and italian public.

     In Ofset we are happy if someone could take care 
     localization in other languages :-)

I'll think about it.

if this modular edition gives one the choice of
programs. I think that one of the problems of
providing a linux-system geared towards education is
that you have to cater for a large and diverse
audience. In fact you have several client-segments.

: Please give KBruch a short test drive

Today I added the remaining features for KBruch. I like to ask you to get
the source out of CVS and check what you would like to see fixed till 3.3. I
still haven't added what's this help textes for all elements and I still
have not updated the handbook.

1) The config dialog is too big: you can make one tab with fonts and another 
one for the colors
The Apply button should not be enabled before any changes are made. When a 
change is made, the Apply button should then get enabled and after being 
clicked should be disabled again. Using KConfigXT should get that behavior.
2) I find the fractions fields too large.
3) When you start a type of exercise, you don't know how many tasks you will 
have to do. It appears you can do as many tasks as you want, you will not get 
a result dialog.  I would like a result dialog
4) in Factorization mode, when the Wrong appears it reduces the answer field 
and the user cannot see his answer totally anymore
5) The tab mode does not work so if i am for example in factorization how can 
I press on the '2' button without the mouse? I could not do it.
6) when the user enters nothing it is considered as Wrong. Couldn't the 
program just wait for an input before saying it's wrong? (no input in any 
field should do nothing when you click Check Task)
7) Why in the icons are the colors different? It would seem logical to have 
the same colors for the - for example. Same with the numbers, first 
denominator is in green, why?

That's all for now... Hope it helps,

annma

There is a HUGE bug in KBruch, Sebastian, and I did not notice it but it was 
reported to me just now. All the terminal strings are NOT i18n'ed. This must 
be fixed immediately either by using gettext or qstring I suppose or to 
remove this terminal based KBruch.

Cheers,

I know about it, but I never considered it a bug, because nobody is really
using the text mode. Nevertheless, I removed the text mode completely,
because I don't want to implement a text mode for the new exercises.

Please note, I am not able to upload the fixes at the moment, because CVS
seems not be avaible.

Can you please give me a pointer how to do it? I already use KConfigXT, but
I don't know how to "generate" the config dialog code from it. Of course I
can just split the ui file, but if there is an automagic way, I like to use
it.

I will explain the behaviour in the handbook. I don't want a result dialog,
the current results are always avaible in the stat window. And the user can
reset the stats to start some kind of test. So no result widget is needed.

Re: [kde-edu]: Kalzium: How to handle the SOM?

Hi Carsten,

Exactly, there are five "looks", see below.

Theoretically you can disable all entries in a menu, but not the menu itself.

How about a View menu with

Plain (current no color scheme)
Groups
Blocks
Acid behavior
State of Matter
