Asymptote (Vector Graphics Language)

Revision as of 08:57, 28 January 2007 by Hmmm (talk | contribs) (I reworded slightly to avoid the "but has cleaner syntax" which somehow sounded negative, and linked MetaPost to an actual reference until someone writes a Wiki article on it.)

Asymptote is a powerful vector graphics language designed for creating mathematical diagrams and figures. It can output images in either eps or pdf format, and is compatible with the standard mathematics typesetting language, LaTeX. It is also a complete programming language, and has cleaner syntax than its predecessor, [MetaPost], which was a language used only for two-dimensional graphics.

Here is an example of an image that can be produced using Asymptote:

In a sense, Asymptote is the ruler and compass of typesetting.
