− | '''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, [http://netlib.bell-labs.com/who/hobby/MetaPost.html MetaPost], which was a language used only for two-dimensional graphics.

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

− | | |
− | You can use Asymptote on the AoPSWiki right now, by enclosing the Asymptote code within <tt><nowiki><asy>...</asy></nowiki></tt> tags. For example, the following code
| |
− | <pre><nowiki><asy>
| |
− | draw((0,0)--(3,7),red);
| |
− | dot((0,0));
| |
− | dot((3,7));
| |
− | label("Produced with Asymptote "+version.VERSION,point(S),2S);
| |
− | </asy></nowiki></pre>
| |
− | created the picture
| |
− | <center><asy>
| |
− | draw((0,0)--(3,7),red);
| |
− | dot((0,0));
| |
− | dot((3,7));
| |
− | label("Produced with Asymptote "+version.VERSION,point(S),2S);
| |
− | </asy></center>
| |
− | And on the AoPS forums you can use <tt><nowiki>[asy]..[/asy]</nowiki></tt>

− | Another example:
| |
− | | |
− | <pre><nowiki>[asy]
| |
− | pair A,B,C,X,Y,Z;
| |
− | A = (0,0);
| |
− | B = (1,0);
| |
− | C = (0.3,0.8);
| |
− | draw(A--B--C--A);
| |
− | X = (B+C)/2;
| |
− | Y = (A+C)/2;
| |
− | Z = (A+B)/2;
| |
− | draw(A--X, red);
| |
− | draw(B--Y,red);

− | Admins, I figured out a way to edit anything in the wiki page, please pm me so I can explain to you how so this bug can hopefully be fixed. It is a very big bug ~Firebolt360.
