Summary description: Lua-based mathematical graphs for LuaLaTeX
Announcement text:
* The *luadraw_pdfliteral* module has been added; it allows for direct drawing within the PDF stream — including 2D paths, 2D polylines, sets of 2D points (circular), or 3D facets — without using the \draw command. This significantly reduces compilation time when dealing with large datasets, subject to certain limitations. * Bug fixes...
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/luadraw The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/luatex/latex/luadraw/
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese

luadraw – Lua-based mathematical graphs for LuaLaTeX
This package provides a LuaLaTeX environment for creating mathematical graphs in two and three dimensions using Lua code.
The resulting graphics are drawn with TikZ and can be saved automatically. The package combines the computational capabilities of Lua with the graphical flexibility of TikZ, making it suitable for programmatically generated diagrams, function plots, and other mathematical illustrations.
