Summary description: 2D & 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language
License type: lgpl
Announcement text:
The normal vector for perspective projections was fixed. Individual processing of each figure within a LaTeX document is now supported. The fontsize package uses type1cm.sty again since fix-cm.sty does not appear to work as advertised. Uninitialized item bits are cleared. Extended for statements now support the var type. PenMargin is used in drawing a binarytree. Minor optimizations were made.
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.
