asymptote: Drawing in batch mode

 
 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:
 
                               [diagonal]
 Here, the '--' connector joins the two points '(0,0)' and '(100,100)'
 with a line segment.
