# graphics/asymptote - The NetBSD Packages Collection

Powerful descriptive vector graphics language for technical drawings

    Asymptote is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language that provides a
    natural coordinate-based framework for technical drawing. Labels and equations
    are typeset with LaTeX, for high-quality PostScript output. A major advantage of
    Asymptote over other graphics packages is that it is a programming language, as
    opposed to just a graphics program. Features of Asymptote:

    # provides a portable standard for typesetting mathematical figures,
    just as TeX/LaTeX has become the standard for typesetting equations;

    # generates and embeds 3D vector PRC graphics into PDF files;

    # inspired by MetaPost, with a much cleaner, powerful C++-like
    programming syntax and floating-point numerics;

    # runs on all major platforms (UNIX, MacOS, Microsoft Windows);

    # mathematically oriented (e.g. rotation of vectors by complex multiplication);

    # LaTeX typesetting of labels (for document consistency);

    # uses simplex method and deferred drawing to solve overall size
    constraint issues between fixed-sized objects (labels and arrowheads)
    and objects that should scale with figure size;
      ...and more!
