Summary description: 2D & 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language
License type: lgpl
Announcement text:
The perp vector calculation in the solids module was fixed. A bug in the mouse motion functions was fixed. A pan action (which differs from shift due to perspective distortion) was added to the OpenGl renderer; the Camera (c) menu item now outputs all camera settings. The default right mouse button mouse binding was changed from "zoom/menu" to "zoom". User-initiated exports no longer cause the renderer to quit. Dynamic time stepping was fixed in the ode module; the "integrate" routines now return the array of computed values. Operators == and != were added for all built-in arithmetic 2D arrays; a segmentation fault was fixed. The etc/fstab kludge for Cygwin 1.7 was removed. The configuration directory under TeXLive is now $TEXMFCONFIG/asymptote.
This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/asymptote . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/asymptote (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

asymptote – 2D and 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language
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 level of typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text.
