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' (Seeextension) 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.
