A MetaPost + TeX rendition of Oliver Byrne's 1847 color-illustrated edition of the first six books of Euclid's Elements. It provides a LaTeX package for creating Byrne-style geometric proofs and diagrams, plus the full book source in English and Russian.
Use cases
- typeset Byrne-style geometric proofs
- reproduce Euclid's Elements with colorful diagrams
- create similarly styled geometric illustrations in LaTeX
- build a printable PDF of Byrne's Euclid
- generate decorative initials and vignettes with MetaPost
When to choose
- you want to typeset Euclidean geometry in Byrne's visual style
- you need a customizable LaTeX package for colorful geometric diagrams
- you want to study or remix a classic of mathematical typography
When to avoid
- you need an exact facsimile of the original 1847 book
- you need a general-purpose diagram tool outside Byrne's style
