%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ asymptote Asymptote is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language that provides a natural coordinate-based framework for technical drawing. Labels and equations can be typeset with LaTeX. As well as EPS, PDF and PNG output it can produce WebGL 3D HTML rendering and (using dvisvgm) SVG output. &lfs91_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &asymptote-md5sum; Download size: &asymptote-size; Estimated disk space required: &asymptote-buildsize; Estimated build time: &asymptote-time; Required and Recommended , , , and Recommended at runtime Optional , , Optional (at runtime) to convert output to other formats such as JPEG or to create animated GIFs, PyQt5 (not tested, has a build dependency of ) to use xasy. User Notes: Install asymptote by running the following commands: export TEXARCH=$(uname -m | sed -e 's/i.86/i386/' -e 's/$/-linux/') && ./configure --prefix=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year; \ --bindir=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/bin/$TEXARCH \ --datarootdir=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/texmf-dist \ --infodir=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/texmf-dist/doc/info \ --libdir=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/texmf-dist \ --mandir=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/texmf-dist/doc/man \ --enable-gc=system \ --with-latex=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/texmf-dist/tex/latex \ --with-context=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/texmf-dist/tex/context/third && make To test the results, issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install --libdir=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/texmf-dist;: This parameter ensures that the asymptote directory will similarly overwrite any files installed by install-tl-unx. --enable-gc=system: this ensures that the system version of libgc.so will be used instead of the version shipped with this package. --with-latex= ... --with-context=: These switches ensure that style files and a tex file will be installed into the texlive directories instead of creating a texmf-local directory for them.
