12 Asymptote is a powerful script-based vector graphics language for tech‐
13 nical drawings, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like syn‐
14 tax. Asymptote provides for figures the same high-quality level of
15 typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text.
16
17 xasy is a GUI for Asymptote that allows for final figure adjustments.
18 After deconstructing an Asymptote file into transparent GIF objects,
19 using the -xN option (where N is the magnification factor), one can run
20 xasy to make final adjustments. One can also use the command "asy
21 -VxN" to automatically invoke xasy.
22
24 xasy takes no options.
