asymptote: MetaPost
8.19 'MetaPost'
===============
This package provides some useful routines to help 'MetaPost' users
migrate old 'MetaPost' code to 'Asymptote'. Further contributions here
are welcome.
Unlike 'MetaPost', 'Asymptote' does not implicitly solve linear
equations and therefore does not have the notion of a 'whatever'
unknown. The routine 'extension' (extension) provides a useful
replacement for a common use of 'whatever': finding the intersection
point of the lines through 'P', 'Q' and 'p', 'q'. For less common
occurrences of 'whatever', one can use the built-in explicit linear
equation solver 'solve' instead.
