Description
"Asymptote is a openGL descriptive vector graphics language"
EditByBSEditor: Asymptote is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language that provides a natural coordinate-based framework for technical drawing. Labels and equations are Typeset with LaTeX, for high-quality PostScript output.
A major advantage of Asymptote over other graphics packages is that it is a programming language, as opposed to just a graphics program.
Features of Asymptote:
# provides a portable standard for typesetting mathematical figures, just as TeX/LaTeX has become the standard for typesetting equations.
# inspired by MetaPost, with a much cleaner, powerful C++-like programming syntax and floating-point numerics;
# runs on all major platforms (UNIX, MacOS, Microsoft Windows);
# mathematically oriented (e.g. rotation of vectors by complex multiplication);
# LaTeX typesetting of labels (for document consistency);
# uses SIMPLEX method and deferred drawing to solve overall size constraint issues Between fixed-sized objects (labels and arrowheads) and objects that should scale with figure size;
# fully generalizes MetaPost path construction algorithms to three dimensions;
# compiles commands into virtual machine code for speed without sacrificing portability;
# high-level graphics commands are implemented in the Asymptote language itself, allowing them to be easily tailored to specific applications. you can free download Asymptote 1.86 now.
