The hawkdraw package

The hawkdraw package allows the user to use a simple syntax similar to TikZ to generate vector graphic output based on l3draw and related LaTeX3 modules such as l3fp which allows very precise calculations. The syntax is meant to be simple and flexible but also coherent and logical with the aim of allowing the user to quickly draw graphics. The package name relates to the quickness and agility of hawks and the preciseness of their eyesight.

The package intends to define a set of user-level commands that can be used for drawing simple graphics. It does not aim be a substitute for the TikZ package or to offer a similar scope of application.
