+Asymptote is a powerful script-based vector graphics language that
+provides a natural coordinate-based framework for technical drawing.
+Labels and equations 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.
