Hi, I haven't used asymptote so I can't compare it to tikz but I do like tikz quite a lot - I wouldn't claim having mastered it but I'm satisfactory fluent in it and it has served me well for all my papers and slides so far. Some points I like specifically about tikz (but asymptote may have it as well or even better - I just don't know asymptote): 1) The tikz documentation is quite good and there are loads of examples on the internet. 2) It integrates very well with the beamer class I use to produce my slides. This allows me to reuse code for graphics I produced for a paper in slides for a talk, adopt it where necessary, ... 3) Whenever tikz forced me to do it the tikz way instead of my way, I ended up with a (in a pedagogical sense) better graphic than I originally wanted. :-) Cheers, Simon - -- /*** * Dipl.
