AsyPlots is a Julia package for creating figures in Asymptote. Asymptote is a mature language for technical drawing in two and three dimensions. This package provides access to
- Vector graphics with LaTeX-rendered labels in 2D and 3D
- An OpenGL renderer for interacting with 3D figures
- Easily customizable colors and arrows
- Convenience functions for line graphs and surface plots, with less of a time-to-first-plot penalty than some other packages
- An environment designed for working directly with graphics primitives (points, paths, polygons, circles, parametric surfaces) in natural coordinates
- in-line plotting in IJulia and Juno's plot pane
- Options to save output as asy, eps, pdf, svg, or png
- An alternative Cairo backend, for speed
AsyPlots requires Asymptote, which you might already have as a part
of your TeX installation (run asy --version from the command line to
check).
Asymptote can optionally use an alternative backend that relies on Cairo.jl, though
this package is currently not installing cleanly.
