Asymptote (vector graphics language)

An asymptote (vector graphics language) is like a language for drawing shapes on a computer. It's like giving instructions to a computer to draw something. Instead of using words to give instructions like in English or other languages, with asymptote, you use different shapes, lines, and colors to make drawings. You can think of it as giving directions to a computer to draw a picture. The computer can usually draw very complex shapes and pictures with asymptote, just like you can with a pencil and paper.
