License type: gpl
Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sketch is a small, simple system for producing line drawings of
three-dimensional objects and scenes. It began as a way to make
illustrations for a textbook after we could find no suitable tool
for this purpose. Existing scene processors emphasized GUIs and/or
photo-realism, both un-useful to us. We wanted to produce finely
wrought, mathematically-based illustrations with no extraneous detail
and be able to easily overlay TeX math and text. The input language
is reminiscent of PSTricks, so will be easy to learn for current
PSTricks users. See http://www.frontiernet.net/~eugene.ressler .
