CTAN Update: asymptote

[CTAN Announcements]

On Tue, 14 Jul 2009, John Bowman submitted version 1.81 of the

  asymptote


package.

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.

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A boolean targetsize option can now be used to draw 3D labels with the apparent
size they would have on the target plane.  The camera adjustment algorithms
were fixed; the autoadjust flag is respected. Missing path3 functions
such as endpoint(path3) were added. The doubleclick timeout under MSWindows
was fixed. A workaround for a ConTeXT small font bug is illustrated in
contextfonts.asy. File associations are now used under MSWindows for
psviewer, pdfviewer, display, and animate. Single quotation marks are now
allowed in filenames. Deconstruction is now only supported in PNG format;
the xformat setting was removed. The example lmfit illustrates
Levenberg-Marquardt nonlinear least-squares fitting.
