Technical Drawing

Asymptote is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language for technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like syntax. Asymptote provides for figures the same high-quality typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text. Platforms: *nix

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... Platforms: Windows, Mac, *nix, C/C++, BSD Solaris

CAD::Drawing::IO::Image is a Perl module with output methods for images. Requisite Plug-in Functions See CAD::Drawing::IO for a description of the plug-in architecture. check_type Returns true if $type is "img" or $filename matches one of the ImageMagick type extensions. $fact =... Platforms: *nix

CAD::Drawing::IO::Tk is a Perl module with GUI I/O methods for CAD::Drawing. This module is considered extremely pre-ALPHA and its use is probably deprecated by the time you read this. Methods There is no constructor for this class, its methods are inherited via CAD::Drawing::IO Thoughts... Platforms: *nix

CAD::Drawing::IO::PostScript is a Perl module with PostScript output methods. I would like this module to both load and save PostScript vector graphics, but I have not yet found a suitable PostScript parsing package. This module should be considered pre-ALPHA and untested. Some features rely... Platforms: *nix
