This should within a day be at your local mirror. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ...................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: Asymptote Version number: 1.88 Author's name: John Bowman Summary description: 2D & 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language License type: lgpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Compilation without OpenGL was fixed. PRC billboard labels were implemented; settings.billboard was renamed to settings.autobillboard and by default enabled for all 3D labels.

The example fequlogo.asy illustrates how to draw an arbitrary 3D background plane. The intermediate DVI file is now removed when producing SVG output. Improvements were made to the tutorial. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/asymptote .
