Asymptote is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language for technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like syntax. It provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text. Asymptote is a programming language as opposed to just a graphics program. It can exploit the best features of script (command-driven) and graphical user interface (GUI) methods. High-level graphics commands are implemented in the language itself, allowing them to be easily tailored to specific applications. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes: For perspective projections, non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) are approximated by adding additional control points to Bezier curves. Inline PDF movies can be generated directly within LaTeX files. The xasy diagnostic console should now work reliably on all platforms. This release features alternative arrow styles, pen arguments for the flowchart block routines, and improved graph and interpolation array diagnostics. The axes routines now take optional xlabel, ylabel, and zlabel arguments defaulting to empty strings. A patch is included for the Asymptote backend for pstoedit-3.45.
