Script-based vector graphics language
xasy [-x magnification] [filename]
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.
xasy is a GUI for Asymptote that allows for final figure adjustments.
-x magnification
Initial zoom.
Asymptote and xasy are documented fully in the Asymptote Info page.
Asymptote was written by Andy Hammerlindl, John Bowman, and Tom Prince.
