Asymptote 1.0

Labels and equations are typeset with LaTeX, for high-quality PostScript output.<br /><br />A major advantage of Asymptote over other graphics packages is that it is a programming language, as opposed to just a graphics program.<br /><br />Features of Asymptote:<br /><br /># provides a portable standard for typesetting mathematical figures, just as TeX/LaTeX has become the standard for typesetting equations;<br /><br /># generates and embeds 3D vector PRC graphics within PDF files;<br /><br /># inspired by MetaPost, with a much cleaner, powerful C++-like programming syntax and floating-point numerics;<br /><br /># runs on all major platforms (UNIX, MacOS, Microsoft Windows);<br /><br /># mathematically oriented (e.g. rotation of vectors by complex multiplication);<br /><br /># LaTeX typesetting of labels (for document consistency);<br /><br /># 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;<br /><br /># fully generalizes MetaPost path construction algorithms to three dimensions;<br /><br /># compiles commands into virtual machine code for speed without sacrificing portability;<br /><br /># high-level graphics commands are implemented in the Asymptote language itself, allowing them to be easily tailored to specific applications.
