Dots
Let us start off with the most basic of this basic command: drawing a dot.
To draw a dot, simply write the following code:
dot((0,0));
You can fix certain attributes to this dot, such as color:
dot((0,0),blue);
To make the dot an open dot, you could draw a really small circle with a white fill and black outline:
filldraw(circle((0, 0), 0.02), white, black);
For example:
Or you could do this craziness:
dot((0,0),filltype=FillDraw(fillpen=white, drawpen=black));
For example:
Circles
In this article, draw(circle((0,0),5));
We see that the first draw() command creates the circle, which uses the circle() command. How this works is that the circle() command produces a path in which the draw() command draws. Within the circle command, we see the center point is located at the cartesian plane point (0,0), and it has a radius of 5.
This code produces:
Once again, we can fix certain attributes to this code:
draw(circle((0,0),5),red+linewidth(1));
And we can fill the inside:
filldraw(circle((0,0),5),green,red+linewidth(1));
Ellipse
Another rounded figure we can create is the ellipse.
draw(ellipse((0,0),5,3));
In this case, the (0,0) is the center of the ellipse, the 5 is the length of the semi-major axis and the 3 is the length of the semi-minor axis. This results in:
Once again, we can fix attributes and fill the inside.
filldraw(ellipse((0,0),5,3),green,red+linewidth(1));
Unit- Paths
There are several useful pre defined paths for drawing things like unit squares, unit circles, etc. Just use the unit- paths!
You can use the
unitsquare unitcircle
paths for 2D. A list of Unit- paths for 3D can be found in the "Definitions": section of Asymptote: 3D graphics
Here is the unitsquare command:
draw(unitsquare); yields
And the unitsphere command.(Note: you have to import the three module for this to work.)
import three;
draw(unitsphere,pink);
yields
Since the unit- variables are paths, you can assign pen, fill them, and define other paths as them:
path u=unitcircle; pen p=red+dashed; draw(u,p);
yields
