Summary description: 2D & 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language
License type: lgpl
Announcement text:
A new render.labelfill option (enabled by default) fills subdivision cracks in unlighted labels. The dependence on gcc-4.3 was removed. Offscreen detection and zoom bugs in the OpenGL renderer were fixed. Three-dimensional grouping was improved. The symbol table was replaced with a custom hash table. Portability updates were made. The Cygwin memory limit fix for MSWindows now works even on systems that lack a complete Cygwin installation. The examples were updated to exploit the new PRC rendering options.
This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/asymptote . 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.
