Asymptote is the LaTeX for three dimensional graphics. It creates flat (bidimensional) and three dimensional graphics that can be inserted in a LaTeX/PDF document. The results are consistent with the LaTeX typography and 3D graphics can be freely rotated with Acrobat Reader.
Install
From SVN
Check out from SVN server:
mkdir ~/soft cd ~/soft svn co http://asymptote.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/asymptote/trunk/asymptote cd asymptote/
First you need these tools: autoheader (autoconf), zlib, fftw3 (optional), freeglut, bison, flex, texi2dvi (texinfo). They are installed in most systems
[in ubuntu] sudo apt-get install autoconf libz-dev libfftw3-dev freeglut3-dev bison
and download
wget http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/gc_source/gc-7.1.tar.gz
Then
./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr --bindir=$HOME/usr/bin$CLUSTER make all make install
(3 minutes, 46 seconds with 'make all -j 4')
Test
~/usr/bin/asy Welcome to Asymptote version 2.09svn-r5246 (to view the manual, type help) >
Add ~/usr/bin$CLUSTER to the PATH, for example by adding the following line to ~/.profile
# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/usr/bin" ] ; then
PATH="$HOME/usr/bin$CLUSTER:$PATH"
