Description

Asymptote is a powerful script-based vector graphics language that provides a natural coordinate-based framework for technical drawing. Asymptote has labels and equations that are typeset with LaTeX, for high-quality PostScript output.

A major advantage of Asymptote over other graphics packages is that it is a programming language, as opposed to just a graphics program: it can therefore exploit the best features of script (command-driven) and graphical user interface (GUI) methods.

Use

First load the asymptote module, and then use the “asy” command. 

  module avail asymptote
  module load asymptote/2.08
  asy
