fiziko – A METAPOST library for physics textbook illustrations
This METAPOST library was initially written to automate some elements of black and white illustrations for a physics textbook. It provides functions to draw things like lines of variable width, shaded spheres, and tubes of different kinds, which can be used to produce images of a variety of objects. The library also contains functions to draw some objects constructed from these primitives.
