Summary description: 2D & 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language
License type: lgpl
Announcement text:
The PRC driver has been overhauled to support model tree groups, lossy compression, efficient representations of elementary geometrical objects, and specialized rendering options. More efficient OpenGL thick tubes were implemented; the capping of 3D curves was improved. The SIGQUIT signal was replaced by SIGTERM. Under MSWindows, the 384MB Cygwin memory limit is now automatically disabled by the Asymptote installer. Inferred variable types were added and operator symbols are now pretranslated.
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.
