C.a.R. (Compass and Ruler), also known as Z.u.L. (Zirkel und Lineal), is a free and open source interactive geometry app that can do geometrical constructions in Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry. The software is Java based. The author is René Grothmann of the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt. It is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).
