asymptote README

(This extension is converted from atom language-asymptote package. It is based on the same grammar. This README is verbatim copied from the original Atom package.)

Asymptote is a powerful C-based Vector Graphics Language that can be integrated into LaTeX documents. The official website of Asymptote is at http://asymptote.sourceforge.net/.

Features

This package mainly highlights asymptote syntax and builtin functions. LSP is currently a work in progress.

Requirements

For debugging, if one's Asymptote version is < 2.XX, make sure to apply the debugger patch in patches/asydbgpatch.patch by

cd <path to your asy git repo>
patch <asydbgpatch.patch location> .
sudo make install

Known Issues

For now, I am not able to have the extension match the string grammar to LaTeX. This should be fixed soon... See http://asymptote.sourceforge.net/doc/Data-types.html on "string" section.

Contributors

Apart from me, John Bowman helped with Asymptote keywords and grammar generation.

Special Thanks

John Bowman, Andy Hammerlindl and Tom Prince, and other students for development of the original Asymptote language. The full credits can be seen at http://asymptote.sourceforge.net/.
