Asymptote: Useful commands and their Output
For each of the following, we have put a blue dot at the origin in order to indicate relative location of the output on the coordinate plane. In other words, assume that before each of the examples below is the command
dot((0,0),blue);
In addition, a comment after a line such as //math - extension indicates that the command (in this case extension) used in that line is defined in the math package, thus motivating the import math; (or other appropriate package) line at the top of the example.
Example 1:
dot((20,0));
Output 1:
Example 2:
draw((0,0)--(50,0),BeginArrow); draw((0,-10)--(50,-10),MidArrow); draw((0,-20)--(50,-20),EndArrow); draw((0,-30)--(50,-30),Arrows);
Output 2:
Example 3:
draw((0,0)--(50,0)); arrow((30,0),dir(180),green);
Example 4:
import math; pair A,B,C,D,E; A=(0,0); C=(50,0); B=(10,10); D=(40,20); E=extension(A,B,C,D); // math - extension // extension(A,B,C,D) returns the intersection of lines AB and CD draw(A--B); draw(C--D); draw(B--E--D,orange);
Example 5:
import graph; draw(Circle((0,0),20)); // graph - Circle
Example 6:
path p=(0,0)..(20,15)..(40,-5)..(50,0); draw(p); draw(rotate(90)*p,green); draw(rotate(180,(-5,0))*p,orange); draw(shift((5,20))*p,magenta); draw(shift((0,-25))*yscale(1.4)*p,red);
Example 7:
import olympiad; unitsize(50); pair A,B,C,O,I; A=origin; B=2*right; C=1.5*dir(70); O=circumcenter(A,B,C); // olympiad - circumcenter I=incenter(A,B,C); // olympiad - incenter draw(A--B--C--cycle); dot(O); dot(I); draw(circumcircle(A,B,C)); // olympiad - circumcircle draw(incircle(A,B,C)); // olympiad - incircle label("",I,W); label("",O,S);
Output 7:
Example 8:
import three; unitsize(1cm); size(50); currentprojection=orthographic(1/2,-1,1/2); // three - currentprojection, orthographic draw((0,0,0)--(1,0,0)--(1,1,0)--(0,1,0)--cycle3,red); //three - cycle3 draw((0,0,0)--(0,0,1)); draw((0,1,0)--(0,1,1)); draw((1,1,0)--(1,1,1)); draw((1,0,0)--(1,0,1)); draw((0,0,1)--(1,0,1)--(1,1,1)--(0,1,1)--cycle3,green);
Output 8:
import three; unitsize(1cm); size(50); currentprojection=orthographic(1/2,-1,1/2); // three - currentprojection, orthographic draw((0,0,0)--(1,0,0)--(1,1,0)--(0,1,0)--cycle3,red); //three - cycle3 draw((0,0,0)--(0,0,1)); draw((0,1,0)--(0,1,1)); draw((1,1,0)--(1,1,1)); draw((1,0,0)--(1,0,1)); draw((0,0,1)--(1,0,1)--(1,1,1)--(0,1,1)--cycle3,green); (Error making remote request.
