Summary description: 2D & 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language
License type: lgpl
Announcement text:
Work arounds for MSWindows registry problems and obsolete runtime libraries were implemented. The SimpleHead arrowhead was fixed. Additional matrix routines and casts were implemented. The pair dir(path, path) routine now returns a unit vector. Variable conflicts coming from the contour module were addressed. A RadialShadeDraw filltype was implemented. A guide bug was fixed. Redundant mismatched version warnings are avoided. Support for fitting one 3D picture within another was added. The documentation was updated.
This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/asymptots . 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.
