Hello,
Just to let you know - thanks to John Bowman (Michail Vidiassov is also working on it) these are some latest posts from asymptote developers on their forum - if anyone would like to play with asymptote, feel free to test.
This is great. However, even simple examples do not work. I will test in more detail later. Is there some settings to get a verbose output on what asymptote is doing (-v just says Processing filename, which is not too informative).
PS: I really really have to avoid the temptation to get distracted in the next few days/weeks unless I find an excuse that I need to make 3D/movies for my reports (which is not so unlikely to happen after all :) I have converted asycolors.sty; if anyone wants to take a look at asymptote.sty feel free to take it over. I might come back to it, but not right now. My quick first impression is that it does something similar to t-gnuplot, t-r, t-vim, t-lilypond, etc., that is: it defines some high-level commands, writes a file, lets asymptote process it and then includes the resulting graphic back.
It will be better to encapsulate asymptote setup similar to metapost (e.g., \startASYenvironment, \startASYinitilizations, etc) Aditya
