3.1 Drawing in batch mode ¶
To draw a line from coordinate (0,0) to coordinate (100,100),
create a text file test.asy containing
draw((0,0)--(100,100));
Then execute the command
asy -V test
Alternatively, MSDOS users can drag and drop test.asy onto the
Desktop asy icon (or make Asymptote the default
application for the extension asy).
This method, known as batch mode, outputs a PostScript
file test.eps. If you prefer PDF output, use
the command line
asy -V -f pdf test
In either case, the -V option opens up a viewer window so you
can immediately view the result:
Here, the -- connector joins the two points (0,0) and
(100,100) with a line segment.
